TWENTY OUR CLASS PATRON Sir Galahad VVho has not heard of that great knight of old, Six' Galahad, the hero, the true man, the perfect type of living, pulsating virtue! VVhen the Senior Club was organized, it was decided to choose a patron for the young men of the class. Future poets, inventors, and national benefactors must have a fitting model, one with courage, intellect, but above all, one full of faith. Sir Galahad possessed all these and we chose him as our patron. Some- one may ask, Why choose a person like this old-fashioned story-book knight? Why not a modern man, a brainy man, one who stands out head and shoulders above his fellowmen, a philanthropist, a great public benefactor? Not once do they even think of saying one with a great living faith. Ignorant people might speak thus. Listen to what Father Daniel Lord, the renowned Jesuit Playwright, wrote in a personal letter to the undersigned: I am delighted to find that you have taken Sir Galahad for your patron because he is so fine a representative of what chivalry should be, and because there has been an inclination to belittle him among some 'smart' modern writers. We agree with Father Lord, for we who are about to leave our Alma Mater, the Catholic Central High School, have been taught to look beneath the surface of things. Deeply has it been impressed on our minds, that brains and brawn are something, that wealth and station are something, but that Faith and cour- age and virtue are everything. Each one of us longs for successg of each one of us may it be said, some day, that we were a shining beacon light, lighting the path of less favored fellow-mortals, but of none of us ,let it be recorded, that in order to achieve this success, we deviated from the path marked out for :is by our patron, the pure maiden knight whose strength was as the strength of ten, because his heart was pure. Twelve Senior Boys we are, twelve Sir Galahads let us be, at the desk, in the workshop, in the home! -CARL SUPER '28. TWENTY-ONE LITERARY Top Row: W111. VVagncr, Rolvl. XX7llll2i.lHS, Paul Albers.

A permanent constitution was drawn up and adopted and the officers chosen be- fore the end of the Junior year, were ratified. Helen Capwell, the president elect, resigned in favor of Gilbert Kessler, whose appointment was unanimously and en- thusiastically ratified. In spite of his protestations, he was chosen to fill the chair for the entire Senior year. Under his able and masterly control, aided by the capable Vice-President, the faithful Secretary, and the reliable Treasurer, the Society became an active and flourishing part of the school. Many activities were sponsored by it, chief among them such as brought in prolific funds for the High School Annual. Besides this, the Public Speaking Department of this Society staged a model Trial, and conducted an enthusiastic Presidential Cam- paign. Probably no class organization has had a more successful year, and each and every Senior may look back with pride and satisfaction to the year spent as a member of the N. L. S. The N. L. S. has placed a standard for all future class organizations of the C. C. H. Its successful work due to its enthusiastic President and the whole-hearted co-operation of each and every member, mer- its imitation. -BERNARD KRIEGER, '28, li- -n CLASS HISTORY Look back! It is September, 1925. Listen! The bell for classes is ring- ing, andya file of future great men and women is marching solemnly to the rooms reserved for the various classes. It is a great day, for it marks the open- ing of the Catholic Central High School. Curious glances are cast about, for contrary to previous years, the pupils had matriculated from three parish schools instead of one. From the Sacred Heart High came a band of willing and loyal school- fellows-George Thinker, Bernard Krieger, Carl Super and Adelbert Solheid, and one, only one girl, Elizabeth Kiener. These together with Martin O'Connor and Francis Resch, soon became acquainted and were duly appreciated as the contribution of the Sacred Heart School and the Fort Madison High School. The coterie of St. Mary's students felt at home and proceeded to put the oth- ers at ease. I Classes began in good earnest. It was hard at first to become accustom- ed to the new order of things, for besides an almost entire new force of teach- ers, branch teaching had been introduced-that meant four teachers instead of one. Christmas vacation came and went and with the reopening of classes, came two more',promising students-alas! both girls-Geneva Carney who had attended the Academy at Ottumwa, Iowa, and a musical prodigy, Helen Capwell, whose family had removed their home from Monmouth. The year went happily on with Athletics and Dramatics to form a pleasing relaxation from every-day recitation. The year closed with a gala picnic day at Crapo Park, Burlington, and a glorious commencement day. September, 1926 dawned bright and promising for the nineteen Juniors who . .LJ 4 , . -L? A TWENTY-THREE had visions of becoming great men and women. Their hopes and aspirations were partially realized, when because of their whole-hearted enthusiasm and co-opera- tion in behalf of the Banner fund, they were named the champion booster class of the C. C. H. Additional honor was theirs when the trophy for inter-class basketball was awarded them. Still cherishing the thought of becoming leaders, sixteen of their number re- turned as Seniors. The class sincerely felt the loss of two of its promising mem- bers, Francis Resch, who moved to Milwaukee, and Annette Helling, who entered the convent of the Sisters of Notre Dame in St. Louis. But the arrival of a new Senior, Gilbert Kessler, raised their spirits. His untiring efforts in behalf of the school and its activities, and his personal interest in his fellow-classmates have clone much to raise the standard of the class of '28. His presence was ever an in- spiration for what is good and noble and uplifting. As all Senior years, the year '28 too was a full year in the truest sence of the word. Athletics occupied more time than in previous years, as also did Dramatics and Public Speaking. The latter was a deviation from the course generally offer- ed, for it presented the Public Speaker in practical life, in the Forum, on the Platform, on the Eleetioneer's Stand, and as a Guest in social and literary circles. Only too swiftly did the days pass during this the most momentous of high- school years! But in spite of an overfilled program, the cherished work of the class, their own High-School Annual, received more than its usual share of atten- tion. A better and a bigger Annual had been their slogan, and it proved to be so. The successful Senior year drew to its close with the Class Picnic in Crapo Park, Burlington, the Class Play, Class Day, and the long-looked for Class Ban- quet and Dance, foreshadowing the glories that were to come on Commencement Day. This was their golden day in the truest sense of the word, and was ushered i11 by a Pontifical High Mass celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor in St. Mary of the Assumption Church, which all tlfe students attended in a body and at which they received Holy Communion. After the Mass the Baccalaureate Sermon was delivered and the Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament imparted as the Lord's own Godspeed to the young men and women about to start on life's rough way. Breakfast was served the Seniors in the High-School Library, after which the Senior pictures in graduates' tap and gown were taken. A wonderful eveningg a festively decorated auditorium, a dense crowd of eager relatives and friends, smiling, happy Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, sedate Seniorsg the Grand March, the Address, the well-deserved Honors, and the coveted Diploma-this spells Graduation Day and closes forever the happy high- school course of the Class of 1928. -JOSEPH HEITZ, 28. -MARGARET HEITZ, 28. rs. .f:,,, TWENTY-FOUR .

CARL SUPER BLUEBIRD FOR I-IAPPIN ESS THE SENIOR-CLASS BANQUET Happiness, word with which to conjure, little word of deepest meaning! Hap- piness had unlocked for us the portals of our dear C. C. H. Happiness closed for us the portals of our Alma Mater, when on Class Day the little bluebirds of hap- piness greeted us at the Senior Class Banquet. How appropriate! How full of meaning! How portentous of what we would want our lives to he, of what we hoped our future would be. The dear old familiaiflibrary had been converted into a bower where fairies might have loved to dwell. Tender trailing vines covered the delicate lattice-work that lined the walls, and little azure-colored songsters were perched everywhere-on the table among the flowers, on our place-cards and menu-cards. They flitted among the delicately shaded lightsg they perched on the bubbling fountain, they nestled on the heads of the azure-gowned Juniors, who so gracefully served the delicious banquet to the happy class of IQ28. Little bird of happiness, your sweet warbling was heard even in the demure words of the toastmaster, in the earnest response of the guests. Sweet link of the past and future, remain ever near us! Let us hear your cheerful twitter in the days to come when youth's garden will have changed into life's rough, unhewn way. Teach our hearts to sing ever grateful, happy notes though skies be dark, and life be drear, for happiness has been the keynote of our school days, why then should it not be our soul's song for life, of which they were but the happy prelude? PLANTIN G OF THE SENIOR CLASS TREE JUNE 5 Dear little elm that we plant today, VVhat will you be when we're old and gray? Was that not the thought whcih passed through the minds of the Class of 1928 as they silently stood about the space reserved for the graceful Elm, the first class-tree ever planted by a Senior Class of C. C. H. Slender and tall, full of young life, it stood., so typical of the youthful, hopeful class whom, in years to come, it was to commemorate. We name this tree the Newman Literary Elm, were the words Of the Class President that rang out on the quiet air of that happy june day, and we dedicate it to the Class of 1928 May it be for us ever a reminder of what the elm-tree signifies. To be pliant, yet true, though bowed by rude winds, to rise ever anew. . Lord of the earth and sea, Prosper our planted tree, Save with Thy might. Save us from sin's false charm, Protect our souls from harm, And us Thy children dear, Lead e'er aright! TWENTY-SIX IN THE PIC'TURE GALLERY GF CELEBRITIES Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of timef' Time: A beautiful June day, 1956. Setting: The anteroom of a celebrated picture gallery. The room is fur- nished like an office. At the desk sits a middle-aged, well-dressed man. He glances up now and then with a smile of deep satisfaction, at the door of the of- fice on which appear in bright gold characters, the words: Bernard Krieger, Owner and Manager. In a meditative mood the great collector puffs away at a good Havana. Suddenly his reverie is broken by the appearance of a dis- tinguished looking lady. The following conversation ensues: Visitor: Mr. Krieger, I believe. Is it not? Mr. Krieger: It is. And how can I serve you, Madam? Visitor: Mr. Krieger, I am in a position which requires of me that I travel very extensively, and in the course of my journeys, I have again and again, in fact in nearly every part of the world, heard of your wonderful picture gallery. I have often desired to pay you a visit and see your world famed collection. just now I am chief editor of a new set of encyclopedias called America's Own Great Sons and Daughters. Though I have secured sketches of their lives, achievements, etc., I failed in many cases, to secure a good likeness of them. I was referred to you as to a probable source, since no gallery in the world is as famous as yours. Mr. Krieger: There is something peculiar about these portraits. Their real beauty and worth can only be estimated in the dark. Bright sunlight, so essential in viewing other things, would spoil their intrinsic value. Their real beauty comes from within. Neither are they mere photographs. No, they are a deep psycho- logical study. By a thorough study of the features, I was enabled to foretell their future career, and in every case the boy was father to the man. Behold I- Lady: Why, that's a baby picturel Mr. Krieger: True. but wait. Notice how bright the eye, how set and de- termined the expression of the little O1lC'S face, how firmly the little feet are planted on the chair! Determination, perseverance, 1 can because I will, is the meaning of it all and its answer is success. You are looking at the baby picture of our Senior Class President. You must have heard about him. The whole world knows him. After he left C. C. H. he continued his education, making an intensive study of Engineering. As from High School, so from College he grille uated with high honors. He became world renowned as a mathematical and sci? entific genius, and the greatest Universities of the country vied with each other to possess him as a member of their faculty. Finally he accepted the Deanship of the College of Science in the World's University, and just a few days ago I received a note from him, telling me that he had been honored with the Vice- Presidency of the University. Already during high-school days at C. C. H. he was considered a good teacher by his fellow-classmates, and he is fast becoming re- nowned as the foremost Catholic Educator of the world. .

Mr. Krieger: What! you do not know Mr. Gilbert Kessler! Visitor: Oh! I might have known. In this case, the child was surely father to the man. Mr. Krieger: Now here is a picture of a most charming baby. See, how fine and intelligent her features! Every line of her face portends a yearning after the higher and nobler things of life-music, literature, art. It was not hard for me to prophesy her future. I could see at once for what she was destined. As a classmate of mine at C. C. H. she already earned a name for herself as a mu- sician. After her graduation she continued to study music, but I hear she has changed her occupation and is now a world famous editor of books, especially is she known as an encyclopedist. She signs herself Carmen Dolce, but her real name is Helen Capwell. Visitor: Uumping up excitedlyl VVhere did you get that picture? Mr. Krieger: Why, from her parents.--Why? Visitor: Oh nothing. Mr. Krieger: It seems to me your face is very familiar. - - - Why, I have it. Helen Capwell! VVhy didn't you tell me? I did not recognize you. My! but you have changed! Visitor: I'm glad you recognized me at last. I was just waiting. Now please go on with your prophecies. I think they are wonderful. Mr. Krieger: Very well. Look at this. , Remember old Ted? Look at that set expressiong that commanding look. You could see already then that he was meant to become a leader. After his graduation from old C. C. H. he went to Notre Dame and made the first team in football during his second year there. As Junior he was made Captain and when Knute Rockne resigned, Ted rose up and took his place, and he is at present putting out the best team Notre Dame ever had. Now here is another one. I'm sure you remember old Soup? Carl surely is a success! You can see it in this picture. See how shrewd those eyes arel What a quick intelligent look they wear! Remember how he took over a sales- man job while still at school? After he graduated, he continued in this line and by hard work became the best salesman his company ever had. Realizing this, the company promoted him to district sales manager and later to chief sales manager. His promotions continued until at present he is operating a large firm of his own in South America. He certainly is an honor to the Class of 1928 of the C. C. H. This is one you'll never recognize. There is a certain look about that face that I have- never learned to describe. It is cheerful, very kind, and tender. Do you remember Margaret Heitz? Well this is she. It took me a long while to draw a prophesy from her picture and I finally arrived at the conclusion that she was to be a nurse, and I was right. After leaving school she went into train- ing in Chicago and became a splendid nurse. At present she is occupying the responsible position of supervisor in the world renowned hospital, the Hotel Dieu, in New Orleans. The papers several years ago were full of accounts of her heroic work in a flood and since then her fame has risen. I-Iere's another one you will never recognize! Look at the daring and TWENTY-EIGHT bravery in that face. A face that would never flinch in any danger. It's Bill. CWm. Wagnerj. How silent he used to be! How shy! But what he said, he meant. Helen, you would never guess what became of him. Immediately after graduation he entered an aviation school and after serving several years as a trans-Atlantic pilot, he began receiving promotions until at present he is a Ma- jor in the U. S. Aviation Corps. Visitor: Who would have thought that Bill Wagner was to become an aviation officer? Mr. Krieger: Say here's one for you. lt always kept me guessing as all girls always did, but I was surely surprised at what became of Geneva Carney. I never could prophesy from her picture what she would become. although her features are very sensitive and perhaps a little motherly. I sup- pose you know where she is at present. When she married that wealthy Ca- nadian I was surely surprised. I'm glad she is happy, they have two very charming children. Here is a sweet, tender, and good looking baby. It was easy to see that God chose her to care for His little ones. Yes, it is Louise, little Louise Kass- meyer. After leaving school Louise went to the convent and became a Notre Dame nun. In her letters she insists that she is happier than any of us and-well, I suppose she is. Now this one surely puzzled meg still you can see those shrewd eyes, that quick impetuous look could never belong to anyone but a real man like Norbert Rose. W'hat a success he became--artist, musician, lawyer, business man, ath- lete! In every one he became an expert. He certainly had initiativeg you can see it in this picture. At present he is conducting an important' criminal case in Chicago. This is a photograph of Elizabeth Kiener when she was a baby. She is an- other huge success. Her picture shows she was born to do some great good in this world and she surely has done it. After leaving school she took up physical culture. Later she married a man' who was interested in physical education, but Elizabeth continued her work and rose to the position of director of Girls' Ath- letics in Marymount on the Hudson, that celebrated Girls' College in the East. Her husband is football coach at Yale. Now you see how George Thinker looked when a little boy. That face de- notes a worker, and a quick thinker. After High School, Yutch developed mechanical tastes and accordingly, took out an apprenticeship with the A. T. and S. F. Railway. After his apprenticeship, his good ideas and hard work earned for him promotion after promotion. Now he is a big Railroad official of the N. Y. Central lines. I always knew what Bob fRobert Williamsj would become. Look at that taceg that head so erect and handsome. He was destined to be a soldier and thus after High School he went to West Point, graduated with honors and rose steadi- ly until at present he is known as Colonel Bob, Colonel of a division of artillery in Australia. Ah, there! Now you are looking at the baby picture of Senator Albers of Iowa. Every line of his face gives you the impression of a shrewd politician. After graduation he took up law and that finished, he practiced for several years TWENTY-NINE and then went into politics. He met with huge success and is today one of the most conscientious office-holders in VVashington, D. C. At last, here is Joe, old Joe Heitz, the farmer. That's just what he became, but what a farmer! That Convention we staged at the C. C. H. during which l worked so hard for Lowden, must have given him the idea. I wonder, did he vote for me then. I believe he is one of the wealthiest farmers in this section of the country. He owns several large ranches out in Kansas and smaller farms all over the Central States. He is well-known as a philanthropist and he has given large sums toward orphan asylums. He is a renowned charity-worker. Every one of our class. it seems, became a wonderful success. For an- other instance look at this picture. Those sharp eyes, that keen face denote a mathematical genius. They belong to Adclbert Solheid. He took up engineering after High School and is known as one of the best engineers in the South. For a while he worked for the government, but later he resigned his governmental work and many large dams, railroads, buildings, and the like, bear his name. Well, don't tire now, we're nearly finished. Here is one I've saved till last, because it's a big surprize. You are now looking at a likeness of Louis Zumbroegel when he was a baby. See the twinkle in his eye! That little twinkle means very much. In this case it meant that Louis was to be a comedian and that is what he is. Playing in Pathe pictures at present, Louis is one of the best known funny-men in the pictures of today. This is the last one. It seems so different from all the rest. But I al- ways imagined I was so much different from everybody else. I was rather cute then, wasn't I? Funny how one changes. One would think, from that picture that I would some day amount to something, but looks are sometimes deceptive. Oh well, at least I was successful in prophesying what would become of my class- mates. I believe that our class can be called one of the most celebrated in history, .and I hope when the Great Taskmaster calls the role on the final Commence- ment Day, we can answer our present with firm assurance, conscious of the fact that while in life we patterned our conduct on only the great, the good, the noble, and the virtuous, we left behind us after our death, Footprints on the sands of time, 'fFootprints that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, did take heart again. -BERNARD KRIEGER, '28, F THIRTY OUR CLASS PATRON The Maid of Orleans At the beginning of our Senior year, the most cherished and most mo- mentous of all our high-school career, we the Senior girls, chose as our class pa- tron, the great warrior maiden of France, now venerated on our altars, as the dear St. Joan of Arc. All students of history are acquainted with the outstanding facts of the life of this wonderfud maid of but seventeen summers, the poor unlettered child of peasant parentsg of how she was commissioned by high Heaven itself to lay aside the garb of maidenhood and don the inaled attire of a warrior youthg of how she amidst incredible difficulties raised the siege of Orleans, led her small army vic- toriously on against overwhelming odds, and achieved the great event of her life, the coronation of her King: of how she, the savior of her country, earned for all her labors, but the mean pittance of this world's gratitude. for she fell a victim to the jealousy of those who owed all to her, and she died according to the annals of history, the fiery death of a sorcerer, but in the words of Heaven, the death of a martyr and a Saint of God. Though we are fully aware of the fact that none of us will be entrusted with so high and glorious a mission, as was given to our Class Patron, neverthe- less we know that to each of us Heaven has assigned a great work which can and may be done by none other. And no matter what our mission, be it that of consecrated virgin behind convent walls laboring for the souls of little ones, be it that of devoted wife and fond self-sacrificing mother, or be it the life of just a. good woman in the world, forgetful of self, devoted to others, no matter what 'twill be, we will need the high courage, the strong heart, the unflinching spirit of the glorious Maid of Orleans. And that is why we chose her as our special patron, that the memory of school-days spent beneath her gentle patronage, may spur us on in hours of trouble to look to Heaven for our protection and help.' FAREWELL TO C. C. H. Dreams of happy times, so fleeting, Mem'ry fain would linger long, 'Mid the surge of life's great meeting Come the strains of olden song, Far behind us, lies the pathway That together we have crossed And before,-the longed-for byways Still in future's mists are lost. 'Tis together we have cherished C. C. H.-Her honored rule, 'Tis alone, in future seasons We will claim, fore'er our school. And the meaning of her teachings VVe will to the world relate. Bearing on our dear school's message, Goes the Class of '28. -HELEN CAPVVELL '28. THIRTY-ONE BANNER STAFF Editgf in ..... . ..........................,..................... .... .

Norbert Rose Helen Capwell Margaret Heitz Geneva Carney THE HISTORY OF AN ANNUAL The Catholic Central High School was beginning its second successful year of existence. The school had made rapid strides even during the first year-and now in the second year the increased enrollment promised a term even more eventful. School Activities began in full swing-Class Clubs began to thrive- Dramatics flourished-and the Athletic teams of the C. C. H. had begun to be recognized. It was in this second year that those interested in the welfare of the school turned their thoughts to a new field of endeavor. The time had arrived when the success of the school demanded that a wqrth while record be kept of its activ- ities. It was in accordance with this need that the First C. C. H. Annual was de- cided upon-tO be christened the Banner. VVhat name could be more appro- priate? The editorial staff of the First Banner was chosen. The task which confronted these pioneers was a great one-that of establishing a line of worth- while annuals. However, with the whole-hearted co-operation of the Faculty, students, and Alumni Association together with the backing ,of the good business men of Fort Madison, all obstacles were overcome and the 1927 Banner became a reality and a success. The fact that the Critics of the Chicago Art Crafts Guild thought well enough of the H1927 Banner to award it second place on the prize list, speaks plainly for the efforts of the Staff. Now, we, the Banner Staff of 1928, realize that our task is an even greater one. The C. C. H. has enjoyed wonderful growth. Its activities are covering a broader scope and its courses of study are spread over more varied fields. There- fore The Banner must go forward. But, as we sit around the large table in our composing-room and look over the mass of student essays, write-ups, and pic- tures that must make up the H1928 Banner, we are almost tempted to ask along with people who do not realize its mission, ls an Annual worth while? But, we need only turn our thoughts to our schoolmates for the answer, Yes, an Annual is worth while. To students it means much. The line of Ban- ners is the one connecting link between school life and later life. In years to come they can always turn to the Banner for fond recollections of happy eventful days spent in A'Dear Old C. C. H. We have seen our duty. When the 1928 Banner takes its place in line, may we say, We have done our best. If it does no more than give the people of Fort Madison a better insight, a more complete understanding of what the C .C. H. S. advocates, our humble efforts have 11ot been in vain. May our suc- cessors, the staff of '29, have reason to say, Here is what the staff of '28 accom- plishedg the good work must go on, we see our duty and will do it. -GILBERT S. KESSLER, '28, THIRTY-THREE IT'S UP TO US Take this, my boy. and remember it long Though now it may strike you as funny, A job with a chance to improve and advance Is better than one that pays money. Take a hint from an old man who's traveled the way just need to his counsel a minute, There's a job that may pay you five dollars a day But that's all there will ever be in it. Don't look at the cash as so many boys do Take a look at the long years before youg See how much you can learn, not how much you can earn And the place which the future has for you. Can you rise from the post where they'd have you begin? How far will this humble job take you? These are questions to ask, they pay well for the task, But what sort of a man will it make you Oh, many a boy has begun with a rush And has grabbed for a man's wages blindly, Now he sticks as a man at the post he began, And thinks life has used him unkindly. So look for a job with a future ahead, Seek a chance to grow greater and greater, Seek a place where you know as you work you will grow. And the money will come to you later. -EDGAR A. GUEST. What is our place of largest usefulness in every day life, in the business of keeping the wheels of industry moving? There are a thousand little places to one big place. Naturally one would be led to believe that the scramble would eventually be for the few big places. But we need only look out into the world about us to discover that the scramble is for the little places, the places easy to get, any place to make a few big round dollars. Be that as it may, we have one really important fact to face-every one of us has a life to invest. God having given me this one life to invest, how shall I invest it? This should be the im- portant question uppermost in the mind of every student about to step out into the work-a-day world. Surely, we all have a common goal, that of making good our investment. It should indeed be encouraging to us to know that we are needed and that each one of us has an important part to play in the game. Every one of us without exception can assign himself to a task worthy of his greatest efforts. However, success can not always follow first attempts. Going up in life, means going up in our thinking. Schools and colleges were not instituted to teach pupils mere facts of books, but to teach them to think. Napolean conquered nearly the whole world, not because he was phy- sically more able than other men, but, because he thought. The student graduating from high school must realize as he steps out into the world of fame and fortune, that his destiny which he cannot dodge is in THIRTY-FOUR Q his own hands. A thousand different plans face him. He may decide to fit himself better for life by a college education, or he may desire to fall into some line of occupation and there seek advancement by hard work and study. The problem lies not so much in what he does, as in doing what he is best fitted to do. Let us use our imagination to bring out the point more clearly. Suppose that the students of the graduating class of 1928 of Catholic Central High are assembled for commencement exercises, the last, great, never-to-be-forgotten meeting as a class. They can be heard discussing the many things they have learned, the good times they have enjoyed, how this basketball game was won or that football game was lost, in fact, everything that has helped to make their high-school life a full one. Now everything is quiet. The diplomas are about to be presented. Suddenly, a great voice booms out from somewhere addressing the graduates: My dear students, if you could choose now the occupation you would like to be engaged in in ten years from today, what would it be? Then after a few moments, What experience have you had or what leads you to be- lieve that you have sufficient ability to succeed in this kind of work? The students now seem to be seriously considering the fact that ability takes them where they should go. How important to each one of us then should be the matter of increasing our ability by broadening our education along some certain line of work, instead of feeling that the world owes us sr living on the strength of our present knowl- edge. It is up to us, no one can do it for us. Practical experience alone can teach us just what is the kind of work we can do best, just what is our place of largest usefulness in the world of today. But, no matter what occupation we set as our goal ten years from today, there always seems to be before us the warning Education can never end, for as we learn, we advance. All about us in every-day life we meet with people who would try to make ns believe that the fields requiring higher education, are overcrowded. Even though they are, we have every reason to believe that there is always room at the top. In every branch of industry the call for service can always be heard. Consider, for exampie,,the transportation industry, the key and great chain joining and making possible all other forms of industry. The trans- portation systems for which our country is noted, alone offer vast fields for advancement. We have every reason to believe that the steel wheel running on the steel rail will continue to exist and grow as the chief means of trans- portation. Truly a great story, that of the progress of our rail systems. This is just one example. But, no matter which way we turn, we can find ever pres- ent an abundance of work that calls for men of service, men with ability to keep the ball rolling. Sometime during life each one of us will look back through the years that have gone never to return. Memory will recall fond recollections of by-gone hours, high lights in our lives, opportunities which we have taken or passed up, which step by step have made us what we are today, be it good or bad, rich or poor, a success or a failure. It is in view of these facts that a man will make himself and knowing that he has done justice to his opportunities, others will do likewise. A Yes !, boys and girls of the class of '28 and all classes to follow in the years to come, it is truly Up To Us. -GILBERT S. KESSLER, '28. THIRTY-FIVE ' TO THE CLASS OF '28 The world is moving, spinning, four times as fast as before, opportunity is changing its password every dayg time is closing its portals on our last year of C .CQ H. education. The outgoing tide places us shoulder to shoulder with the sons of privilegeg the barriers are down, we are entering a new era, which has cancelled the lie of vested rightsg and, given us the privilege to use our men- tal ability. Our predicament is akin to that of Lincoln: When will the op- portunity arrive to voice our inward power? Opportunity is not a fixed phenomenag-it exists wherever there is a trained mind to establish it. As knowledge unused passes from the mind, so opportuni- ty will also pass, if we do not use our initiative and apply every ounce of our learning to establish our independence. Each one of us at this time possesses the power to draw up our own dec- laration of independence, and whether in the future we shall be dependent or in- dependent, will depend upon the application of our four years of high-school education. The coming years Will mark great progress and growthg but this will be based solely upon intricate value and worth. The future will mark and demand leadership of a high order. It will demand men and women of vision and training to direct and adjust to new conditions and ideals,'the vast economic machinery of our country. What we have done during the past four years to build up brain-stuff and what we shall undertake in the future in order to use this God-sent privilege, is up to us. - Again a definite plan-possible of accomplishments, but not too easy, must be made and adhered to for the good of the mind and the will, and for the attainment of our ends. As graduates of C. C. H. S., we are prepared for leadershipg we have as- sumed a definite obligation both to ourselves and to the futureg to be ready and worthy of the opportunities and rewards that the world offers to its leaders. So at this mile-post of our career, we are urged to remember our obliga- tionsg to let no temporary or unprofitable distraction turn us aside from the real goal we have set for ourselves, and be that goal near or far, the application of our knowledge will be the impressions left on the sands of time. -N.

' THIRTY-EIGHT LONGFELLOW LITERARY CLUB On the sixteenth of September, the Juniors assembled to conduct their first meeting, the purpose of which was to organize the Class Club and start the Booster Ball a rolling. As a result of this meeting, the Longfellow Literary Club became an active and vital part of the Catholic Central High School stu- dent body. Every association, no matter what its name or character, has a special aim or object in view when it becomes an established organization. So the L. L. C. had a two-fold purpose,-first, to promote the welfare of its loved Alma Mater by instilling into the hearts of its members a love for and an appreciation of good reading, and secondly, to boost and help the school grow by lending both moral and material support. As a means to this end, the L. L. C. held its lit- erary and business meetings each month. Courage! Loyalty! Truth! VVhat more suitable motto could we have chosen to spur up on in the at- tainment of our desired end? Courage to do and dare great things for our beloved C. C. H. S.! Loyalty to all her noble lessons of virtue and manly deeds, of Giving not Having, Serving not Getting! And Truth, that guiding spirit that should ever prompt us to breathe her sacred name with respect and loving reverence, letting no words but the good, the beautiful, and the true escape our lips when speaking of her. Courage, Loyalty, Truth,-these three shall ever be our companions and guides when in defense of our cherished Alma Mater we are called upon to stand up for her inalienable rights and proclaim her unparalleled glory. May the Juniors of 1929 imbibe this same spirit from us and continue the work which we have so successfully begun! To arms! To arms! The foe's in sight, Oh see the flash of armor bright! So goes the tale of ancient lore Of how a Gothic army bore Omunsuspecting host at night. Now strike my men with all your might 'Tis only bravery can fight Amid this horrid bloody gore To arms! To arms! Consider first of all your right Then vanquish Enemy, your blight, Ah, then to victory we'll soar And glad you'1l be our shield. you wore. To arms! To arms! -ROSE GOCKEL '25.

GUEST LITERARY CLUB When the members of the Sophomore Class met early in the school year to organize a literary club, it was decided to name the organization after some noted writer. Several names were suggested, such as Shakespeare, Longfellow, Whittier and Edgar A. Guest. As Edgar A. Guest had aroused the interest of a large number in the class, he was chosen as the patron and accordingly the society was named, The Edgar A. Guest Literary Club. It is the purpose of the club to become acquainted with works of literature, to foster Dramatic Art and to contribute both morally and financially toward all school affairs, especially The Banner, the school annual. At Christmas time this club contributed toward the joint entertainment of the four literary clubs by presenting a pleasing playlet before the assem- bled school in the auditorium on Wednesday, December 21st, I927. Their benefit affairs have likewise been very successful. Soon after the club's organization, the president wrote to Edgar A. Guest, in- forming him of their choice of him as their patron, and requested him to write something about his life and works, and favor them with a photograph. After some time spent in anxious waiting, an answer came together with an auto- graphed picture and a booklet telling of his life and work. A portion of his let- ter was as follows: Please convey my best wishes to all the members of the Literary Club of the Catholic Central High School, and extend to them my sincerest appreciation of the honor they have conferred upon me in selecting me as their patron. Edgar A. Guest should inspire every member of the club with a desire to emulate him in his gospel of cheerfulness, his reverence for God and the Home, and in his love for work. To a friend who recently asked Mr. Guest, Where do you get the inspiration for your work? he said: In my work, of course. You never heard of a loafer being inspired. Some one has said that inspiration is nine-tenths perspiration. It's about true. For a good many years I work- ed away on the Detroit Free Press, conducting a daily column headed 'Break- fast Table Chatf I think I did good work. I at least did the best I knew how. But outside of a comparatively limited circle, I was unknown. But I was happy. I had three things necessary to happiness-Home, God and Work. In speaking of religion, Mr. Guest said: Religion has been the great- est single influence in my life. Without my religion, I should have made enemies where I have gathered friends, I should have gone down where I have climbed up, I should have been sordid where I have found joy in being sentimentalg I should have been shunned ewhere I have been welcomed, and although I might have made money and saved some portion of it, I am sure I should have done many things which would have been to me a shame and a regret. With- out my religion, I should have suffered a loss in self-respect and in the es- teem of others. I am convinced that religion is necessary to worthwhile achievement. The football player with a religion is a better player than the boy without one. The business man with a real, live, earnest religion is a better business man than the scoffing non-believer. All the great men of nearly all ages have had a religion. -DOROTHY FISHER, 30' FORTY-TWO J OAN'S PUNISHMENT Breaking a habit, is usually difficult, and often requires an impressive punishment. Although everyone has his and her peculiar habits, some good, others bad, Ioan knew that some day one of her habits would get her into serious trouble. And this habit was throwing notes in class. It was Monday afternoon and Joan always disliked this particular day of the weekg for classes seemed to dug, and lessons seemed more difficult than during the rest of the week. She sat fumbling with her fountain pen wondering what she could do to entertain herself. She noticed two girls in another part of the room throwing paper wads, and so she decided to throw a note to one of her neighbors. She gave the piece of paper a good fling, but instead of alighting on the girl's desk, it landed in the middle of the floor. Sister had been walking down the aisle and she stopped just in front of the paper wad. Joan held her breath and almost made another resolution never to throw another paperqwad note. The girl for whom the note was intended, suddenly dropped her pencil. Sister looked down to the floor and discovered the note. The young lady who threw this note please risef' were the words that rang sharply and clearly 011 the hushed class-room air. Ioan rose, but very slowly. Please remam after class tonight, was the next command. That night when classes had been dismissed, her teacher said: joan, I shall detain you a little while tonight to try to help you break the habit of talk- ing and throwing notes in school. I have to leave the room for a few minutes, but you can study until I return. NVhen her teacher had gone, Joan laid her head on her desk and after a few minutes, was sound asleep. Suddenly she woke up, the room was filled with darkness and it seemed very late. In a few moments Joan was able to make out the different objects such as the bookcases, the blackboards, and the desks. She wondered whether Sister had forgotten about her, for she knew she would never have left her there on purpose. She decided to turn on the light. and then try to get out. She started to walk over to the switch to turn on the light when a book fell out of the book- case, Notes on Death. My'! what a queer title thought Joan, I never noticed it beforeg it seems queer that notes should be there. It reminds me of the' reason for which I had to stayin after class. She was just about to go on, when she saw one of the bookcases opening out. Joan had read in detective stories about secret: fireplaces and passageways. and this made her fear that she might be in some great danger. VVhen the door was wide open, on the book- case that served as a door, a white figure stepped out: I am the ghost of bad habits, it said. Follow me. Ioan was led down a flight of stairs, behind the bookcase, and into a small room in the corner of whichnwas a pile of notes in Joan's own handwriting. These represent so many hours of useless energy exclaimed the ghost, raising FORTY-THREE his long thin arm, and pointing his finger at the pile of notes. Now you shall pay for the time you have lost in writing them. - All of a sudden everything became black. Joan opened her eyes, but the ghost was not in sight. Sister was standing near her and the sun-light was streaming in through the windows, Well, Joan, you certainly must have had a terrible dream remarked Sister. Joan told Sister her dream, and then went home. The next day at school Joan tried to find a book, Notes on Death but there was no book of this kind there. Several years have passed and Joan is now a Senior. Sometimes she goes into the Freshmen room and tells some of the beginners how she was cured of throwing notes, every once in a while giving a glance towards the bookcase, as if to see whether a ghostly figure might appear. -MARY LOUISE FRIEMEL, '30. C. C. H. ADMINISTRATION BALL In the annals of the Catholic Central High School many successful social events have been recorded, but the most unique and pleasing was in the nature of an Administration Ball and Banquet held on April 17th The interesting events which led to this climax were participation in the Democratic and Republican Con- ventions, followed by registration and election. The President, Vice President, and ten Cabinet Officers were chosen from the twelve boys who are in the Senior class. Promptly at eight-thirty. the President, Mr. Gilbert Kessler, accompanied by Miss Beatrice Phelan, started the grand march into the auditorium, which was decorated in the national colors. Mr. Paul Albers, Vice President, Mr. Bernard Krieger, Secretary of State, Mr. Carl Super, Secretary of Treasury, Mr. George Thinker, Secretary of War, Mr. Norbert Rose, Attorney Generalg Mr. Robert Guenther, Postmaster Generalg Mr. Adelbert Solheid, Secretary of Navyg Mr. William Wagner, Secretary of the Interior, Mr. joseph Heitz, Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Louis Zumbroegel, Secretary of Commerce, and Mr. Robert Wil- liams, Secretary of Labor, with their ladies, who also were guests of honor. Immediately following the grand march the house lights were extinguished and a spot light was thrown on the flag while all present sang The Star Spangled Banner. Dancing was then enjoyed until the Presidential Party ,headed the ranks to the library where a three-course supper was served by the members of the Domestic Science Class. The tables were arranged in an oblong design with three center tables reserved for the twenty-four guests of honor. The school colors, ma- roon and white, arranged in festoons and portieres and the school pennants draped about the lights together with the use of two large silk flags presented a pleasing decoration. Only ,too swiftly did the precious moments fly on time's fleet wing, and all the students departed, carrying with them another happy memory of their dear Alma Mater. FORTY-FOUR JOYCE KILMER LITERARY CLUB Since the poems of Kilmer deal largely with awakening springtime and with budding life of joy and of hope, it seemed quite fitting that the Freshmen living in a visionary world should have named their newly organized club The Joyce Kilmer Literary Club. This poet of youth and of nature was born in New Brunswick, New Tersey, in December, 1886. He was one of the most promising of the young American poets, and already before his death, in IQI8, his work both in prose and verse had won for him a wide reputation. In IQI3, while engaged as literary editor of the Churchman he turned his at- tention to poetry and shortly after published Poetry-a Magazine of Verse. In this volume, Trees earned lor him his reputation as a poet of the first rank. This poem written by Kilmer while still outside the Catholic Church, foreshadow- ed his future entrance into the fold. When war was declared, in 1917, Kilmer was one of the first to enlist. In the closing lines of his poem, Prayer of a Soldier in France, is found the answer to the question How did the war most affect Kilmer? Lord, Thou didst suffer more for me Than all the hosts of land and sea So let me render back again This millionth of Thy gift. Amen. The object of the Joyce Kilmer Literary Club is to stimulate the members to united effort toward a better appreciation of literature and dramatic ar.t. With this purpose in mind, regular programs are held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, In addition to the literary endeavors of the club, the members take an active interest in procuring funds for the publication of the Catholic Central High School Yearbook, The Banner. The bake sale and candy sale already sponsored by them and the combined buneo and card party planned for the near future, prove that the members of the club are living up to their motto, Onward, Upward! -JUNIORCKERN, ,3I. GRACE OF FRIENDSHIP The grace of friendship, mind, and heart Linked with their fellow, heart and mind. The grains of science, gifts of arts, The sense of oneness with our kind.

P aul Schmidt Treasurer -- ...--- James 'XNilliams FORTY-SEVEN r DON T PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY You Mary, Mary wait a minute! Mary Fulley glanced around and saw her schoolrnate Dorothy Vic hurrying to catch up with her. Mary and Dorothy were not special friends, but then it is much pleasanter to have a companion to talk to, and Mary being a sweet girl, stopped to wait. Did you hear the latest news?,' Dorothy panted as she reached Mary's side, and not waiting for an answer, rushed on. Mr. Alcott, the millionaire, has offered a five hundred dollar prize to the one who submits the best poem, on or before May 29th, and you know, they say too, that Gordan James, the editor of the 'Adelphia,' is surprisingly interested. Perhaps he will publish it in his magazine, if it is up to his standard. I suppose you will try for it, won't you? I know I certainly will. After this flood of conversation on the part of Dorothy, the two reached the Central High, and were swallowed up in the mass of knowledge seekers. So Mary did not have time to answer Dorothy's question. But in her mind she re- solved she would try. VVhile these two girls are in school studying Latin and what not, I shall sit on the steps of the main entrance and soliloquize on their respective characters. Mary was, what one would call, a typical American girl, a lover of sports, and the great out-of-doors, and yet interested in music, art and literature, es- pecially in literature. Always since she had put behind her her dolls and play- things, had she been known for her fondness for composition. She had al- ready entered upon her last year in high school, and had established many friends by her winning disposition and true blue character. Dorothy, too, had literary ability, but was of a more sophisticated nature, and she was I1Of so fond of sports such as basketball, tennis, or the like, for fcar of mussing her skirts, or jarring the powder off her nose. Still, all in all, Dorothy had a very likeable character, and was quickly recognized as a leader in class activities. Though scores of other competitors had entered from C. C. H., it was gen- erally agreed upon that the outcome of the race was somewhere between Mary, Dorothy and Ralph Fowler, the latter another budding genius. That evening after Mary had finished sweeping the small kitchen of the Fulley home, she sat down in earliest to write her poem. She racked her brain for hours and at last succeeded in getting a goodly amount of inspiration. There- fore she remained up till midnight, to write all her thoughts on paper. After weeks and weeks of writing and rewriting, scratching and putting down, Mary had a lovely thing called, To an Autumn Leaf ready to hand to the Principal. With Dorothy it was different. Night after night she had sat down at her desk, with very good intentions. Then she would suddenly remember some- thing she just had to do and, of course, she could not write. Or the phone would ring, and she would rush off in consequence to an evening's enjoyment. Accordingly, the finger on the Almanac pointed to May 27th, and Dorothy was FORTY-EIGHT N frantic. Why had she gone to that shallow, old party the other night? And then a temptation came to her. Something whisperedin her ear: Why dont you copy that poem out of that old newspaper you found in the attic the oth- er day? Dorothy tried to put the wicked thought aside, but it would not go. So in sheer desperation, she got the newspaper. My, how dark it is up here! exclaimed Dorothy. Oooh, what was that noise? I'm going to hurry. Finally after rummaging around, she found what she was looking for, and with many a glance backward, she hurried down the stairs. It was on the Commencement night that the winner of the prize was to be announced. The school was in a flurry of excitement. It seemed as though the air itself whispered about the great event. Girls in demure gray college gown and cap, their faces flushed with excitement, sat on the stage. Restlessly they moved from one position to the other, and though the boys too, were equally excited, they were trying hard not to show it. The auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity. Mothers, fathers, relations, friends, and teachers, it seemed the whole town was there. The program progressed, the diplomas were awarded, and then Mr. Alcott arose with proper dignity and went to the center of the stage. I take great pleasure this evening, my friends, in announcing to you the winner of the much talked of prize. Although there were numerous praiseworthy entries, the judges find that the most remarkable literary specimen was the poem,-the grad- uates shifted, the audience leaned forward eagerly-a sweet summer breeze from some whispering tree blew in through the open window and cooled Mary's fev- erish forehead-entitled To an Autumn Leaf, by Miss Mary Fulley. The hall rang with applause. Mary gasped. Ralph Fowler looked at first a little disappointed, and then he too broke into applause. But Dorothy, poor Dorothy, who had sold her selfrespect, her honor for a forged poem, and then didn't win! Mary rose in obedience to a common summons, and in a trem- bling voice uttered her thanks to Mr. Alcott, and to the audience. But what was Mr. Winly saying? And Mr. Gordan James accepts with great pleasure this young lady's poem. Another storm of handclapping. Both Dorothy and Mary sat with bowed heads, one with a light, happy heart, the other with a heavy cumbrous feeling clutching at her very soul. -ELLA BUCKMAN, '31. FORTY-NINE Commercial Department mmm IXHO W H' f'L11zr1f ' T af 5 . NND FIFTY COMMERCIAL SPELLS SUCCESS Characters: Mother and her daughter, Marie. Mother: Marie, dear, you have many advantages in your high school today, and I hope you will use good judgment in choosing your studies. For my part, I prefer that you should take a business course. Marie: Well, mother, I shall never be a business woman. Are you forgetting that we are one of the wealthiest families of the ctiy? Mother: You never can tell what the future has in store for you. Marie: Why if anything, I would become a teacher, artist, writerg anything would be better than working in an office. Mother: Suppose you had failed or had no money to study these arts. Marie: Why discuss it? Such things will never come true. Mother: Perhaps if I tell you my story, you will see it differently. When I went to school we were very proud to say that our high school was one of the best in that district and that it offered a business course. I, being of a wealthy family, thought that I would never have to earn a living and therefore rejected this advantage. My friend, because her parents expected her to help support them in old age, worked hard to get a first-class com- mercial education and won the honors of her class. Sometime afterward she went to work in the office of the President of the City Hospital, where she had been offered a good position and a high sal- ary. After my father's death, mother told me that I would have to work. One night, after a day's walking and searching for work, I was knocked down by an auto. I was taken to the City Hospital and had to remain there for some time. A few weeks later the nurse was taking me about in a wheel- chair when we met my former classmate. I told her of my misfortune and said that she had been wise to choose a business course at school. After my recovery I took a commercial course at night school, at the same time earning small wages. With the aid of my friend I then received a good posi- tion. After I married your father and success came to him, I again enjoyed an easy life. Marie: Well, perhaps the commercial education would be best. But I hope I shall never have the misfortune that you had. Goodbye then, Mother. We'll arrange it. -MARY LOUISE FRIEMEL, '30. -CLAIRE EINSPANJER, '30. FIFTY-ON E THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD Turn back the pages of history as far as you desire, you will find men of wondrous intellectual capabilities. You will find a Solomon, the Great, in the days of the Patriarchs, spreading his wisdom over all of his vast Empire. You will find wise men, studying the sciences of the earth and the skies. You will see the young Caesars of pompous Rome distinguished for their mighty power and fearless leardership. You will note the great rulers and emperors of cen- turies ago, whose mere words and thoughts were pearls of wisdom, and you will hear of fiery orators who overawed nations by their magnetic words. Through- out the ages of the past even unto the bright present, you find the entire world searching the very ends of the earth for wider learning and newer discoveries. And down, down through the countless ages, you find men always in quest of knowledge, proving that an education even in those days was considered priceless. The world has made much progress in, the thousands of years of its evolu- tion, and education is now no longer restricted to certain classes. Everyone to- day has the opportunity to get an education. Various courses are offered all students that they might make a prudent choice. Sages and wise men are no longer Ancient History, we have them living among us at the present day in the persons of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and numberless other geniuses, and what is still better, we too, have the chance to become wise men. Our High Schools and Colleges give us this great opportunity. Consider the eighth grade graduate out in the world. He is ignorant of the sciences, of com- mercial enterprises, of political proceedings, he is unable to understand the popular questions of his time, in fact, he has just the elementary basis for his lfigher education, a basis which should be just a beginning. Having the iunda- mental foundation, he needs the culture and refinement of his educated fellow- men. He is just a piece of furniture without the polish. His mind is not broad- ened, his mental powers are not developed and he is being left far behind in the tracks of progressing civilization. The world needs you, high-school graduate, she needs you out in the busi- ness world. She needs you as a business man to help run her commercial af- fairs, to keep the wheel of industry going. Or she may need you in other fields, as statesman, or governor, or she may want you for just a staunch patriot up- holding her name. But whatever your call may be, try to make your country bet- ter by your having lived in itl -EVELYN ASHBY, ,29. F IFTY-TWO WITH AN APOLOGY TO SHAKESPEARE To cram or not to cram, that is the question, VVhether it is nobler in the mind to suffer The toils and struggles as are NVisdom's price, Or take up arms against a host of volumes And by sheer laziness ignore them? To work-to strike No moreg and by a strike to say we end The brain-ache and a thousand natural shocks The head is heir to.- Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.-To work,-to strike, To strike,-perchance to flunk-ay, tl1ere's the rub. And in the questions for exams, what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this grinding task, Must give us pauseg there's the respect That makes calamity of so low a mark. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time The last place in the class, a blank diploma's stare, The pangs of wasted time,-for injustice ne'er delays- The cruelty of disclosure and the spurns That quaking merits of the dullard takes When he himself might his quietus make . By one bold stroke? Who would tortures bear To grunt and sweat as his brain he cudgels But that the dread of something at the end, The secret terrors of the questions in whose power It is to flunk, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus failure does made cowards of us all. And thus the native hue of good resolves Ts sicklied o'er with the pale cast of fear. And, enterprises in the classroom's sphere Take phantom shapes and brains in anguish turn away And lose the power of action.-Soft you now! The bell for study-hour.-Study-for an hour! Be all resolves remembered. FIFTY-THREE FIFTY-FOUR I DOMESTIC SCIENCE OR DOMESTIC ART WHICH? One day while chancing to pass through the upper corridor, I heard ll faint sound as of music, which continually grew loufler as I strolled slowly along: but alas! the beauty of the heavenly music which I at first imagined I heard. was nothing more than the familiar voices of a mere Freshman and a very, very experienced Sophomore, and I rccogiiizetl them immediately as belonging to Marcella Hesse and Lavina Mt-rtens. At first the conversation was just of the ordinary type. They discussed the weather, the exams, the next movie, a party and all the other things that vt-alous high-school students discuss, but suddenly what is that I hear? I prick- ed up my ears, for I heard two words that fit once startled me into attention, Domestic Science and Domestic Art. And here is the conversation as it came to me. Lavina: VVell, Marc, how's Domestic Science by this time? Marcella: just fine and dandyg I really don't see how anything could be better. Lavina: Say don't let it fool you that way, just wait till you take Domestic Art. Why you will not be able to see how you could ever think your first course was just the thing. Marcella Cangrilyj: You need not try to high-hat me that way just because you happen to be one class ahead of me. Even if I am only a Freshman, don't forget, you're only a Sophomore. Lavina: Here now, you need not fly off about it. But slave to slave, and man to man, don't you really think sewing will be of much more use to you than cooking? FIFTY-FIVE L Marcella: Well, that depends on the profession you intend to follow, or what vocation may be yours, fand here's hoping it's a hard one.D But although sewing may be of use, I think cooking is a real necessity in our later life. You know the saying, Man cannot live without cooks,' Cthat means good onesb but Man can live without seamstresses! Lavina: But, my dear, I beg to differ, and I after having taken Domestic Science one year and Domestic Art the next, still insist that the latter is the better of the two. Why, any uneducated person who has studied nothing more than reading during all her days, can read the recipes from the cook-books, follow directions, light the fire, and hokus pokusl place some very tempting foods, whose delicious odors are permeating the air, before a hungry person. Ask him whether he does not appreciate it. Well I guess so. Marcella : B-but Lavina: But what? And tell me what person without any education whatso- ever, can sit down, take material, get to work, and mould that piece of ma- terial into a good-looking garment? i Marcella: But as to the results obtained- Iavina: You would bring that in. Marcella: Yes, there I got the best of you, Ah, hal How about it? After each lesson to have a tempting dish is not at all displeasing, and then we can smack our lips while you poor Sophs stand in the door-way, your mouths watering, your eyes casting longing glances in the direction from whence come the delicious odors. Lavinzt: Sure, but at the end of the year what have yon to show for it? But look at us. At the close of school at the exhibition we display all the results of the past year's work: nice dresses, dainty little aprons, etc. and when we wear them, we can always think of the happy hours spent in that sunlit room, with the continual buzzing of the machine, and the snap, snap of the scissors mingling with the occasional murmur of happy voices. Marcella: O well, let's quit and have it my way. Lavina: But I insist. Marcella: Yes, there goes the second bell already. Here we've stood and ar- gued for at least fifteen minutes. Now get rid of yourself before we find something else to debate. So long. Lavina: G'bye Marcella and next year by this time I hope you'll have the same point of view I have now. It was very foolish indeed, of me to argue about such a trival matter with an insignificant Freshmen. But here I go again. Well, if I hurry, I might make class yet. So long again! As they vanished, I stood for another five minutes pondering over the lengthy discussion. It dawned on me, that it asked which course I preferred, I could state no preference, but if my advice were asked, l would recommend both courses. -VIRGINIA KESSLER, ,30.,., ' ' -ff FIFTY-SIX SONG OF THE SEAM fApogolies to Thomas Hoodj With fingers rebellious and cramped VVith eyes on vacation days fled, The sewing-class met-'twas the first We had tried with a needle and thread.

In our modern civilization, cooking is both a science and an art-a science in the careful study of the real food-needs of the body and the accurate determ- ination of the composition of most foods-an art in our increasing ability to satisfy the requirements of the body in both an appetizing and an economical way. Hence, the study of foods and food cookery as taught in the high school of today is of paramount importance to the young girl now and later in life. The most recent work in science confirms the fact that health and ability to work are intimately linked with thc quantity and quality of food eaten by each indi- vidual. Consequently instruction is given in the art of buying food appropriate to every age and need and occasion. The pupil is taught the constituents of the various foods, in what proportion the body needs them, and how to include them in the diet. Directions for cooking each kind of food are accompanied with in- formation as to its food value and its proper place in a well-balanced nutritious ration. Attention is also called to variety in meals, to the appetizing manner of preparing and serving left-overs, to the use of inexpensive foods which will tempt the appetite and provide the vitamines so necessary for proper nourish- ment and growth. In close connection with food principles and their application the pupil is taught to be thrifty in regard to food and clothing and the other things she uses. She is taught to buy what she needs rather than what somebody else buys or what a passing fad or fashion calls for. Further she is taught that it is false economy to buy things she does not need just because they are bargains.' She is also told that it does not always pay to buy the thing that is cheapest, nor yet the highest priced. The mere fact that people ask high prices for things does not mean that those goods are necessarily high class. Nowhere does she find this truth more verified than in the matter of buying clothing. Consequently, the making and purchasing of clothing is given special stress in the Domestic Art course. Arnold Bennett says: To dress well is an art, and an extremely complicated and difficult art. What makes it all the more complicated is that the less money you have avail- able for the purpose, the more difficult it becomes. It comprises all manner of problems, and, above all the expression of one's individuality. The pupil is therefore taught to believe that individuality in dress, beautifully expressed, is a real asset-one well worth striving for. No matter how much or how little money she may have, no matter whether her dress-needs are few or many, she is taught to know her type, what colors, lines, and fabrics are becoming and then, with this knowledge at her command, to work to dress appropriately and attractively. She is made to realize the truth of Bennett's words that, every well-dressed woman is a public benefactor. -LUCILLE scHoTT, '31, FIFTY-EIGHT CON J ECTURES ON FOOTWEAR One day, while in the basement of a large department store I happened to glance out of one of those small windows that we frequently see toward the front of the building. Seeing only the feet of the passers-by I fell to musing, while wait- ing for my sister to complete her numerous purchases, just what sort of people belonged to the various kinds of footwear passing to and fro. First there was a pair of sensible-looking oxfords, black, military heels, neatly polished and stepping along in a very decided manner. To complete this picture, I could think only of that sort of woman who lives for business and business alone, tall, gaunt, spectacled. I A pair of short-vamp, high-heeled, rose-blush kid pumps brought an image of a vivacious little flapper, overdressed for the occasion, but blissfully unconscious of the fact, and tripping along in an I am mistress of all I survey fashion. A tiny pair of black Mary Janes -what else but a darling little miss of four golden locked, blue-eyed, rosy-checked, and dressed - well, what matters that, when the little thing was overwhelmed merely with the joy of just being alive on this beautiful spring day. But, ah - a shabby, nondescript pair of old, old shoes, torn, patched, and torn again - a man - but. merely a tramp? Or - one of those creatures who have tried again and again, but are seemingly buffeted down at every trial by life's misfortunes - my mind here seemed to refuse to form a judgement and I turned away lest any more of this fashion bring to my mind thoughts-well, thoughts not to be entertained on such a glorious day - and I willingly accompanied my sister 'in continuing her search for - a dress for Mary, a toy for John and - footgear for her tiny Ann Marie! -ROSE GOCKEL, ,25 -ll-Tl ' MEET THE FAMILY The FATHER of SUCCESS is WORK The MOTHER OF SUCCESS is AMBITIONN.

N. J. ROSE, '28 FIFTY-NINE MUSIC MUSIC p Music is the exponent of tl1e Beautiful, and beauty is the food of the finest and highest aspiration of the soul. The purest and sweetest of music is the gift of nature. It is these wild untaught melodies that arouse oul' fancy, stir our inner consciousness and set vibrating one of the thousand harp-strings of our being. The power of the tempest, the aspiring pride of lofty mountains, the dreary languor of summer clouds,---all these and a thousand other sights and sounds speak to us with familiar voice of feelings, experiences which are or have been ours, recalling the highest and most intense moments in the past when for a brief span of time we saw beyond the dust-cloud of the commonplace. There is nothing so interesting as such an uplifting of the soul,-the essence of life, and the interest is universal, permanent and inherent. Music is the interpreter of life. Its message is a high and precious word of authority about this mystery. Music more than any other thing in the range of our human knowledge opens the heart of man. It is the best interpreter of the heart in the heart's own vernacular. We know but poorly what we'are or what we might beg we have a very imperfect conception of our possibilities and aptitudes. It is the office of music to reveal these things to us and to awaken noble emotions, to stimulate us to noble efforts. We stand by the side of the masters and try to look into life as they saw it, we become familiar with their range and beauty of vision, we listen to their charming tone conceptions and through them we learn the best ideas of life, those noble love-inspiring, thoughts of things which constitute the deepest and grandest reality of human life. The most evasive, most subtle, most undefinable of arts teaches us, and raises us from the low drone of labor and toil, from the everlasting creaking of the wheels of commerce to the appreciation of a wealth of sound that cannot be surpassed. Music is the great influence, the grand influence and we cannot place too high an estimate on its powers for good. For the purpose of inculcating a sincere love of the beautiful no other study can surpass that of music. There is as much of inspiration and genius in a tone poem of Beethoven, VVagner, Lizst or Schubert as in the finest words of Shakespeare, Longfellow, Milton or Scott and it is time that the cultured person know the great masterpieces of musicians as well as of great poets. We study mathematics, science, ancient languages-then proceed to forget much of what has been taught us. Music is the heritage of life, it accompanies us from the cradle to the grave. We cannot escape if we would. The wider a person's ac- quaintance with good musical literature, the greater the mead of deep enjoyment that will be derived from life. . -HELEN CAPWELL, '28.

The Orchestra should be considered and is one of the foremost activities and tangible proofs of an enthusiastic and living school spirit. The advance in intellectual, social and above all cultural growth of the school and of the indi- vidual, may be safely measured by its music. The C. C. H. S. orchestra has received quite an impetus this year and though still in the formative state, its present achievements and future aspirations bid fair to become one of the foremost of such student organizations in the vicinity. The interest and support of the Parent-Teachser Association during the past year has given added encouragement and merits the appreciation of the students. The Orchestra has given the musical setting for the several dramatic produc- tions of the school during the past year and especially put forth worthy efforts in the rendition of a highly dramatic musical setting for the annual 'Holy Week drama,' Vision, The present personnel of the orchestra and their understudies who are trained for various places possibly vacated, is as follows: I Violin-Bernard Krieger '28, Robert VVilliams '28, Donald Schier '32, Otis Biggs '31, Loretta Freitag '32.

Rose, '28 'li SIXTY-FIVE DRAMA T I CS - DRAMATICS No English Course however perfect, is complete without a thorough study of the difficult art of expression. And' in no way can this be more practically taught than in the presentation of plays, dramas, and pageants. True to this dictum, the Department of English of the C. C. H. offers a complete course in Dramatics to all who are gifted with the talent for public speaking and who are willing to lend their time and energy to the upbuilding of their high-school stage. Due to the large number of students, only Seniors and Juniors were de- clared eligible for membership in the Shakespearean Dramatic Guild. Though the members do not consider themselves Shakespearean stars, nevertheless they have earned high commendation and much deserved praise from competent judges, for their really good dramatic work of the past year. Three difficult plays were presented by them: Penrod, a high-class royalty play, a dramatized version of Booth Tarkington's own inimitable Penrodg Vision, a Passion Play, a remarkable study in dramatic art with a delicacy of suggestion of the sacred Characters and a beauty of effects not easily surpassedg the Senior Class Play, The Man of the Hour, a heavy drama in four acts, was presented on May 13th. It is based on a need, not of these times, but of all times, namely, the need of incoruptible men, men to fill our political places, men who can not be bought, but who are ready and willing to sacrifice what they hold dearest and best when the voice of duty calls. The title role, Alwyn Bennet, who proved himself to be truly the Man of the Hour, was ably filled by Mr. Gilbert Kessler. Charles Wainwright, the unscrupu- lous moneyed man, was forcibly portrayed by Mr. Bernard Kriegerg Scott H. Gibbs, the smooth-faced grafter, could not have been better in real life than he was presented by Mr. Norbert Rose. Richard Horigan, the political boss, control- led not only his victims on the stage, but the audience as well, by his powerful speeches. Mr. Paul Albers as Perry Wainwright, relieved the seriousness of the drama by his ever-ready wit and wholesome mirth. Miss Helen Capwell as Miss Wainwright convincingly showed what a boon is a real woman to man. ' All the characters did full credit to their roles: Judge Newman, Mr. Joseph Heitzg Henry Thompson, Mr. Robert Williamsg Richard Roberts, Mr. George Thinker: James Phelan, Mr. William Wagner: Henry Williams, Mr. Robert Guen- ther, Arthur Payne, Mr. Louis Zumbroegelg Ingram, Mr. Adelbert Solheidg Cyn- thia Garrison, Miss Geneva Carney, Mrs. Bennett, Miss Margaret Heitzg Portress, Miss Elizabeth Kienerg Maid in Wainwright Home. Miss Louise Kassmeyer. The Shakespearean Dramatic Guild of the Catholic Central High never lorget that theirs is a Catholic stage, which like every stage, should be a pulpit from which is preached, although unconsciously, the finest, noblest lessons of life, not in the garish garb of the cheap vaudeville, but in the sober lines of true dramatic art.

E u lalia Sanford It is with an apology to the Class of 1927, that we insert the Rosary, their Class Play, into our I928 Banner. Time did not permit its insertion in Volume I, but we were determined that so excellent a work in dramatic art should not be lost to the future generations of eager students who will throng the halls of learning, they left last year and we must leave now. It was the Class of '27 who were our inspiration, our incentive to keep up the work' so ably begun by them and we think with pride of the fact that we may tread in the footprints of Alvin Vonderhaar, the perfect clergyman of the C1 C. H. S. stage, Vincent Borgman, the villian, who could not have been better, John Auge, the poor deluded hus- band who found himself and his love before it was too lateg George Schwarzer, the successful suitor par excellenceg Alois Burwinkle, whom no son of the Green Isle could have surpassedg Marie Druppel, the faithful wifeg Marjorie Thorn, the inimitable Kathleeng Eulalia Sanford, the simple but wary Lesura Watkins, and Helen Scholtz, the dupe of the villain and herself a perfect, but unsuccessful, schemer against the lives and happiness of Bruce and Vera Wilton.

The same students who personated the Sacred Characters so dear to every Catholic heart in the beautiful, soul-stirring Holy Week drama, The Up- per Room, forcing tears from the eyes of the audience as they witnessed the Play in awful silence, were able to convulse the lookers-on with fits of merry laughter in this excellent Comedy. Chief of these merrymakers were Marjorie Thorn as the finicky Mrs. Conwayg Paul Albers, the fat French cook who haf come to make ze formal complaint 3 and the hero of the drama, George Schwarzer, whose tragic appearance in the first act was changed by his persever- ance into true comedy for him, making it all come out in the end, just as you like it.

In both places it was received with enthusiastic applause. Everyone in the cast did full credit to the part assigned and merited well-earned praise. Penrod is Ll play full of laughs from start to finish, the interest centering especially around Penrod and his friends, Sam, Herman and Verman. These parts were excellent- ly portrayed by Raymond Helling '29, Raymond Pohlmeyer '29, William Wagner '28, and Adelbert.S0lhcid '28.

L 0ui5 Zumbroegel Judas, betrayer of Christ ------ -------.- N orbert Rose Of all Plays staged by the Dramatic League of 1927-1928, the Vision was un- doubtedly the Banner Play. As to conception, idea, dramatic force, content, and presentation, it was the best ever attempted on the C. C. H. stage. The cast de- served special credit for their splendid performance. Though written primarily for College men, they proved conclusively that the earnest high-school Senior can do as well in a deep sacred drama as in light comedy. The Vision is a drama eminently adapted for presentation during Passion and Holy Week. Though not in the real sense of the word, a Passion Play, the scene is laid in jerusalem, the time is the dreadfully tragic period of our Lord's nfe that elapsed between Shrove Tuesday evening and Good Friday, and the characters are persons who played so eminent a part in Jerusalem during those fateful days-Dismas, the Good Thiefg his father, Malchus, a hater of Christy his blind daughter, Esther, who had become a secret disciple of the Nazareneg Gamaliel, a former High-Priest and his son David, Caiphas and his son Je- choniasg Judas, the Betrayer of the Son of God, Pharisees, Scribes, and the Roman Soldiery. Though the Sacred Persons do not appear, their presence is felt and their influence dominates the Play. The climax is reached when Malchus who has just heard that the thief crucified to the right of Jesus, is his son, beholds a Vision of the Crucified and cries out repentant and believing: I am happy! God always knows and always will do what is best! SEVENTY-SEVEN ffl. ti' af. -J 'IZ nag A 6 , .il , - Q Q7 o f-- f-4 MBR 5 ' WN A . IQ- 1 f, 4- 'MM' A 7 ' 54'- ' ,fffcqfg f S- ':',? T ' 7 h 5 ',.

L 'V EIGHTY-TVVO F BASKET BALL ln November, Father VVagner and As- sistant Coach Flack raised the curtain for the 1927-1928 basketball season. Their call for players met with a prompt re- sponse and much enthusiasm on the part of the students. The first night thirty- five men reported for practice but at the close of the week only those who show- ed exceptional basketball ability were re- tained. Now followed several weeks of intense practise for a heavy schedule with teams reported to be skilled ill basketball tactics. The result of this l training shows up nicely in the following summary of games : Nov. 30--Central 10, vs. St. Peter's, Keokuk, 25. It was a hard fight and one marked by unusually fast dribbling by Joe Heitz. Dec. O--Central 2, vs. St. Patrick's, Iowa City, 31 Close guarding by the invading team would have held the local boys score- less, had not several fouls netted them the two points garnered. Heitz and Hel- ling alone could solve the oppositioifs defense and would squeeze through only to be blocked or to miss the basket. Dec. 9-Central 8, vs. Stf Peters, Keokuk, 23 Cullen and Albers played a nice game at guard but could not stem the flow,of baskets that came in from all angles of the floor. Dec. 14--Central 29, vs. Nauvoo, I5 Tottenhoff and VVilliams played in rare form. Dec. I6-CCl1tI'Rl 14, vs. St. Marys, Muscatine, 7 Cullen and Tottenhoff starred, the former collecting three baskets and the latter gathering two. Dec. 30-Central 39, vs. Sheaffer Pen Co., I0 Ineffective passing and bad basket eyes spelled defeat for the Sheaffer club. Cullen and Guenther looped in baskets from all angles. jan. 13-Central 28, vs. St. Paul's, Burlington, IZ Guenther, Cullen and VVilliarns together gained 24 points. jan. 18-Central 21, vs. Nauvoo, 18 It was a fast and furious fight and with forty seconds yet to play, the score stood at 18 all. To make sure of victory Albers and Cullen each made a basket. Ian. 20-Central 21, vs. St. Mary's, Muscatine, IQ Fans were on their feet throughout this intense fight staged by the two teams. Cullen's playing was an inspiration to the rest of the team. EIGHTY-THREE EIGHTY-FOUR . . ' ' Q' U -. r D r ' I A , ,.,- , .,.. ,, .,,...1c,.x . . -.....,,1 ,--A,,., ...,.,,.-... . ,,,- .,, .

The amused male portion of the school looked smilingly on and wondered what the fuss was all about. Hard work, much practice, drilling, and coaching was part of the day's routine, and although they played no organized teams, the girls did credit to themselves and their training on their own floor in inter-class games. Because the teams are rather new and real practice time was scarce, it was thought advisable not to engage in games with other school teams this year. Generously the girls as- sented and left the glories of the field to their more fortunate classmates, the members of the Central Baskeball Team. -DOROTHY FISHER '3o.

Mens Sana in Corpore Saito. Education of today calls for thc systematic and equal development of head, hand, and heart. The awakening and training of all the senses and facul- ties is alone true education. Nature demands activity of the entire person- niuscular, mental, and spiritual. The body is trained that it may be a better medium for the soul. All expression of the being' is through the body and any obstructions, whether they arise from unused muscles, consciousness of defects, or lack of control, are so many barriers to the full and free expression of that for which alone the body exists Body and soul are a unit and they must be de- veloped liarmoniously. For the soundest mind, the purest emotions can find the clearest and most beautiful expressions only in the strong, healthy, and naturally developed body. , Realizing this to the fullest extent, Rt. Rev. Monsignor J. P. Stahl, Presi- dent of the Board of the C. C. H. S., has left nothing undone to give the stu- dents the best that is offered in this department of education. No more com- petent physical training director than Mr. Louis Schreiner of Burlington, Iowa. could have been engaged to assure success in this field. The work so satisfac- torily begun last year has been continuing since September with remarkable success and practical results. Judging from the interest and enthusiasm evinced by the students during their training classes, each and all are convinced 'that a well developed body and a well developed mind are necessary partners for in- tellectual and material triumph.

Modern industrial life places ns into a sci- entific environment to such a degree, that no one can escape a deluge of scien- tific terms. From miscellaneous reading in the newspapers of the day, says Edwin E. Solsson, Ph. D., Director of Science Service, Washington, the aver- age unscientific reader gets a confused, half-baked idea that Science says: Peo- ple are descended from monkeys, the sun is made of radium, Mars is inhabited by a race .of canal diggers, the earth is getting hotterg the earth is getting cold- er, the earth will be smashed up by running into a comet, the average mental age of Americans is thirteen, the world is going to starve to death from over- population, the world is going to die off from race suicidef It does not require serious scientific study to detect that many of these no- tions are false. Science, however, is always moving onto something new, ever advancing into the unknown. But with each new discovery begins an epidemic of false science. False scientists always try to create a mystery. Scientific fakers today are straining their minds in an effort to tear science away from religion. Science instead of taking God out of the world of existence, brings men into closer relation with Him, says Dr. Michael Pupin, Professor of elec- tro-mechanics at Columbia University. Everywhere, this noted scientist tells us' there is evidence of a divine intelligence. Science, then, is the handmaid of religion. It is making us better Christians. It is teaching men how to co-op- crate more intelligently with God, it is teaching men what G0d's laws are, and how to obey them. Science today is making more progress than ever before. The broad work of the scientist in his laboratory has made human life happier and healthier. Practically everything we eat, touch, or use in daily life is laboratorily control- led. When we look upon the highest attainments of modern engineering, we see science as a background. With these facts in view, we can readily see why science has become such an important factor in the education of the youth of today. In spite of all these proofs around and about us in every-day life, we can hear high-school students expressing their dislike for the study of science. One says, Because some people have to study tl1e sciences seriously, it is no reason why the rest of us should wear out our brains on the stuff. Another says Why am I made to study physics, I don't expect to become an engineer? Still another may say: Am I not wasting my time on chemistry? I do not intend to follow the medical profession. Someone else may as well ask, Why take any kind of exercises? I will never be a professional athlete anyway. It is the duty that every intelligent person owes to himself,-that of learning some- thing of what is going on in fields of labor other than his own! He feels that he must read news items to follow in a small way the course of events at home and abroad or he will miss something. So, too, if he does not follow the pro- gress of science, he is missing a greater something, that mightiprove interest- ing and an important step in his rise to the top. In a word, then, science is always turning over a new leaf,-the chemist is 'making new compoundsg the biologist is developing new forms of plant and animal life, such as never before existed, the astronomer is discovering unknown stars, the physicist is formulating new laws and giving expression to strange conceptions. A thoughtful study of Science, therefore, leaves us no escape from the conclusion that back of everything, there is a definite guiding principle. -GILBERT S. KESSLER. '28 NINETY-ONE THE VALUE OF PHYSICS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL Physics, which has been thought dry and uninteresting, is now attracting universal interest due to its rapid growth and striking recent achievements. The student in the High School is presented with subject-matter which touches closely upon his every-day life. Although he has dreamed almost unconscious- ly that stones sink in water, whereas wood floats, he is now stimulated to do some thinking on his own account about the how's and why's of the physi- cal world in which hc lives. As the achievements in Physics have been so varied, the interest of the aver- age student is held by illustration of the principles in industrial appliances, and stimulation is given by the study of the Heroes of Physics whose work has made these possible. Probably the airplane is the most significant and far- reaching of the advances of the twentieth century. After centuries of failure, man has conquered the air and has developed a commercial plane designed for safety, high speed, large load, comfort, and economy. Com. Byrd in his flight across the Atlantic, has contributed to science by his observations of tempera- ture, air pressure ,Wind, fog, sleet, and snow at the different altitudes. Another very interesting feature in physics is the study of electricity and electric appliances. The Hydro-Electric Plant at Keokuk may be visited and an exploration of the working of the Government Locks obtained at the same time. By means of moving pictures these principles are developed and illustrat- ed. Pictures like The Early Life of Edison, with events which led to the for- mation of the first firm of electrical engineersg scenes showing the development of the Mazda lamp, the turbine-generatorsg the transformers, the revelations by X-Ray, wizards of wireless, and other fascinating and illuminating subjects are studied in the High School course of Physics. ' The value of receiving this foundation is well expressed by Millikan in an address before the California Institute of Technology, when speaking of Newton's famous equation of moment, f-ma, he says: Not a single dynamical machine in existence today can be designed with- out its aid, not a steam engine, not an automobile, not a dynamo, not a motor, not an airplane-not a machine or device of any sort for the transformation of work or for utilizing power. Substract merely the result f--ma from modern civilization and that civilization collapses like a house of cards. In view of what physics has done, is doing, and yet can do for the progress of the world, can anyone be insensible either to its value or its fascination? -RAYMOND POHLMEYER '29. N INETY-TWO IMPORTANCE OF CHEMISTRY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL The question, Of what value is Chemistry to the high-school boy or girl is frequently asked and can be readily answered by naming and explaining its four objects: namely, a better appreciation of the student's environment, the securing of new knowledge which can be applied to various fields of human en- deavor, a training in scientific thinking, and the opening of a wealth of unsolv- ed problems of vast importance to human comfort and happiness. , pn As chemistry is a science which deals with changes in the composition of matter, the laboratory work itself is interesting. Then, too, the opportunity giv- en to the student to perform his own laboratory work, will develop his ability to question, will give accuracy to his observations and power to generalize the results of his experiments. He soon realizes that chemistry is fundamental to almost everything that composes his environment. His food, clothing, shelter, the warming of his home, the different implements used in his every-day life, are all based more or less upon chemical principles. - All the industries which transform raw materials into a finished product for human use, are essentially chemical industries. Perhaps the most important change taking place is within our bodies. Here we are scarcely conscious of the changes of food, of fats, starches, sugars, and proteins into living tissues and heat energyg yet it occurs. As all plants require nitrogen, the development of processes for making from the air nitrogen compounds. has been a chemical triumph of great bene- fit to the farmers who are now no longer dependent upon the nitrates of Chile and the potash deposits of Germany. Again, Cottrell has become the nation's benefactor by his work in connection with the Fixed Nitrogen Laboratory in Washington of which he is director, an important position both in peace and war. Dyes of the highest quality are now made in such quantity that we export to other countries after supplying our own needs. Again, it is the chemist who devised methods for preparing the various substances that are used for combat- ing disease, it is the chemist who has prepared the liquid motor fuels that have made possible the airplane, the motor boat and the automobile. The student must, in the study of chemistry, master certain fundamental laws and theories which will give him an appreciation and understanding of the ways by which true science develops. A new world is opened in the study and writing of the chemical symbols, formulae and equations. The modern theories of ionization and atomic structure, are essential for an adequate understanding of modern chemistery. Chemistry touches our lives in so many ways through its applications to industry, agriculture, home activities, medicine, warfare, and the enrichment of life in general, that to omit it from the curriculum would be to deprive the student of one of the most interesting and useful fields of human knowledge. -HELEN CAPWELL, '28. NINETY-THREE B OLOGY WHY BIOLOGY SHOULD BE STUDIED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL One may wonder of what value the study of Biology is to the high-school boy or girl. Since Biology is a study of all living things, it treats of the structure of plants and animals and gives special attention to their relation to man's com- fort and happiness. There are thousands of varieties of plants, from the gi- gantic trees of the forests to the tiny mass of plants we call mold. All these have a very delicate and a highly specialized structure. Green plants furnish us with clothing, trees can be made into lumber. Of course, there are also many harmful plants such as the weeds of the garden which check the growth of the vegetables, the brush in the pasture lands, and the dense thickets which prevent sunlight from reaching young trees and other plants in the woodlands. These harmful plants might be destroyed if everyone would join in the battle against them, by mowing them down before the seeds become ripe, by preventing the killing of useful birds, that eat weed-seeds, and by clearing brush from the woodlands. Now let us consider the animals. Of all the animals, the insects are the greatest in number of species. Pollination in many flowers and fruit trees could not be carried on without the aid of insects, especially the bee. This in- sect also makes honey which we use as food, and bees-wax which finds many uses. There are harmful insects too. The corn borer and the codling moth de- stroy hundreds of crops yearly, and the woolly aphis is a deadly pest to sheep growers. Insects are also spreaders of disease. The house-fly is a common NINETY-FOUR carrier of all diseases, especially the typhoid fever germ. Th mosquitoes carry the germs of malaria and yellow fever. Thorough screening of houses is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preventing these diseases. We now come to the study of birds. Birds are wholesale destroyers of weed-seeds and harmful insects. Many birds, especially those, of the larger groups, have beautiful plurnage which is used in decorations the world over. There are also song birds such as the beautiful canary, which is kept in captivity precisely on account of its wonderful song. One of the most peculiar and most interesting traits of birds is their migration habit. Sometimes birds fly great distances with incredible speed. Man has domesticated some birds, which we call chickens, turkeys, and geese. The flesh of these is used as meat, their eggs as food, and their feathers for pillows, etc. Better citizens are the result of the study of Biology, because by the study of Physiology, which is included in Biology, they learn to control their environment more easily. In order to have health the rules of sanitation and of hygiene are studied. They learn to respect the advice of the municipal health agencies and municipal quarantinesg they realize the need of a pure water supply, of proper sewerage, proper supervision of the milk supply, and the necessity of the best care of other foods. Biology also teaches the value of the conservation of natural resources, such as the forests. Much inspiration is given through the study of the work of scientists who have been the world's greatest benefactors. Some worthy of mention are: Pasteur, Darwin, Meudell, Burbank, and Harvey. All new discoveries have been made by men and women who were once just boys and girls as we are, with possibly no notion of the way in which they' were to help to make this world a better place to live in. Everyone of us is anxious to do some little thing to improve the conditions under which people live. There is still much to be learned about the relation of plants and animals to man, and some of us should prepare ourselves to take a part in this great work. -CHARLES DE COURSEY, '3o. A CLOUD I saw this cloud hov'ring so low, It seems as though it'd almost mow A slim white mast Athe wind did guide. And some times seemed almost to hide The stern deep lines of the straight bow. It dipped across the landscape so It seemed to rule the waves in tow. And then again in swiftest stride, I saw this cloud. It stretched across like darkened floe And seemed like icy breath to blow. Onward it went and seemed to glide Until it reached the heavens wide. I saw this cloud. -ROSE GOCKEL, '25. NINETY-FIVE Mathematics PYTHAGORAS WHY MATHEMATICS IN HIGH SCHOOL . To every boy or girl of high school age no incentiveito study is more forceful than the all-around usefulness of the study. Why, he asks, should I study alge- bra and geometry when I k1lOW so much of arithmetic? True, he does know the fundamental principles of arithmetic, but knowing these, he will find that there is still more to master, a greater interest, a greater pleasure, and a greater satisfac- tion of useful knowledge to be acquired in the pursuit of mathematics, a step or two removed from arithmetic. Whereas arithmetic primarily concerns itself with numbers and the four fundamentals of addition, subtraction, muliplication and division, algebra embraces a wider field because of its systematic use of both numbers and letters and the application of these to some of the common problems of daily life and business. Entering upon the study of geometry the student will readily see that geometric principles play an important part i11 every day life. No matter what occupation he may choose, he will find that two of the greatest helps in life are clear think- ing and sound reasoning. In geometry, the student receives a. knowledge of pure :argumentation and of sound reasoning and learns to appreciate the force' and value of concise statements. The study of geometry brings pleasure and increased capacity for enjoy- ment by developing an appreciation for the beauty and utility of architecure, of art, and of engineering constructions. It enables the landscape gardener to devel- op plans for magnificent pvarks and public gardens. It also forms the basis of all civic improvement plans for making cities more sanitary and attractive. The foregoing are some of the reasons why mathematics in general, and geom- etry in particular, should be studied by those who wish to obtain a generous cul- ture, a broad outlook, and a mental development characterized by logical think- ing and clear expression. -Richard Scholtz, '30, NINETY-SIX CITIZENSHIP IN SCHOOL AND LATER IN LIFE As we look around about us we cannot but see what an important part civic education plays in every-day American life. Never before has so great or so general an interest been taken in Civics. Schools have long ago found it im- portant to train students in citizenship, to make them realize their civic duties. Is it not then the duty of the student, especially the High School student, to try to realize the benefits to be derived from the study of Civics gto make use of his opportunities to educate himself along lines which will make him a better citi- zen, a greater asset to his country? Vife are living in an age of great progress. Scientific studies have been broadened to keep up in'the race with the progress of science. So, also has the definition of the term Citizenship broadened. Civic education today demands more than a study of the Constitution of the United States-more than a knowl- edge of the operation of the machinery of our government-more than a knowl- edge of how to cast our vote in political affairs. Citizenship today must include a broader knowledge of our relations with other people. It must teach us how better to live our own lives and how to co-operate in community life that will make of our country, a better place in which to live. Whether we are in the home, at work or at play, in social life or in organized community life, our time is occupied in carrying out our duty as citizens. During school life, the greater part of our time is spent at home, in recreation and in co-operating with school organizations. Our various class clubs are organized for no other purpose than to teach students to co-operate with one another so that they may realize the benefit of united effort. However, with the close of school-life the student will find that he has stepped out into new fields of citizenship. He has before him the field of work-the field of getting along with other people, of co-operating with them in social and organized community life. What a great advantage it is then to the young person about to graduate from High School, if he has taken advantage of the chance of studying Civics. if he has had an opportunity tqbecome acquaint- ed witl1 the new duties that will confront him in the new life he is about to en- ter. This is one of the great missions of the school, that of making us capable of doing what good citizens should do. Be it in school or out there in the great, wide work a-day world, two fields of citizenship will always play an important part in our lives,-the home and the Church. The home can never cease to be an important field of citizenship. It is home influence that has placed many great men where they are today. The home remains the large center of interest, the very thought of which brings fond recollections to the nund. It was this thought that caused Payne to write the age-old lines, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. The other important field of citizenship is the Church. It is the Church that really teaches men to live as individuals and to place themselves in the right relations to the supreme Creator of all things and to their fellow-beings. The part that the Church plays in every-day community life is indeed an im- portant one. It teaches men to be more honest, more courageous, in a word better and more valuable citizens. Realizing these facts and seeing how broad is the territory which Citi- zenship must cover, we can conclude that Civic education, to be thorough, must IJ train citizens who will act intelligently in civic matters, 21 teach them to cultivate proper motives for civic couductg 35 instruct them how to form habits that characterize the good citizen. -GILBERT S. KESSLER '28, NINETY-SEVEN WHY WE STUDY CIVICS Of a class of twenty, let us say, who are studying Civics, how many ever stop to think just why they are taking this work and what it does for them? Probably many take this subject just to receive a creditg but this is far from be- ing the purpose of Civics. ' Civics is one of the most practical subjects taught in High School. No stu- dent should leave school and start out into the world without having had a thorough course in this subject. Civics or Citizenship is, as the name implies, a training of the student for his later, every-day life. It teaches him to be a good citizen, to be a help to his neighborhood, his community, his state and even his country. It makes him ac- quainted with the laws of his government. It shows him how different business organizations are formed, their purpose and the manner in which they operate. It impresses on his mind the value of these same organizations. It shows him the purpose and worth of education. It teaches him how he should, as a citi- zen of his country, act towards his neighbor, and how not to trample on his rights. In short, it actually trains the student how,to be a good citizen, no mat- ter what his sphere of life. A country needs good citizens, for a country is just as good as its citizens, and no citizen can be of help to his country unless he is well-acquainted with its laws. That is why the subject Civics was introduced into the High School Course, and that is why we study it. -BERNARD KRIEGER '28, NATURE'S MESSAGE 'Twas Autumn, day of dreamy tints With gleaming olden gold. The leaves were burnished armor-like As noble knights of old. The sky, a ruffled crimson, bright In radiant cloak and flare That made the woodland, beauty's haunt Of Autumn's days, so fair. And lo! Unto the woodland haunts A weary mortal came. His heart was hard, his soul was dark, . His Maker, he disclaimed. Alone and silently he gazed On nature's lovely plan, The hand that formed that perfect work, That God had made the man. He wandered by the rippling stream Enthralled by peace and calm, When suddenly the silence filled , With wild-bird's evening psalm. And in that sound of willing praise The Great Designer's plan, Fair nature, brought the light of grace And changed' the heart of man. -Evelyn Ashby, ,2Q.

Is anything studied in the Grade School, in the High School, in College. or at a University, a waste of time? Yes, and no! Yes, if a subject is pursued just for the sake of filling up a schedule, then it is a positive waste of time. If a subject is added to one's course just to follow the line of least resistance, it is a waste of time. But no, if a student in choosing his subjects has a definite end in view, be that either informatory or simply cultural. Both ends are laud- able and justify a stuflent's choice of subjects. Now t11e knowledge of foreign languages is par excellence, highly cultural, especially must this be said of the German, the French, the Italian, and the Svpanish. Of these French and Spanish are almost needed in the southern part of our country, I mean needed by business men, professional men, bank ern- ployes and such whose daily work brings them in contact with those who speak these languages. Apart from this commercial importance of foreign languages, their cultural value should be considered. Is it not better to be able to speak more than one's mother-tongue? Is not every study an asset, a resource that bears interest a hundredfold? Moreover, every language has a literature wherein are expressed the best thoughts of the best minds of all times. VVhat a fountain of knowledge is thus opened to us! The same may be said of tl1e Spanish. The Spanish nation, like every other, has had its great luminaries, its keen minds, its entrancing sing- ers who from the fullness of their overfilled souls sang of the beauties of their native hillsg fired with martial airs the patriotism of their fellowmeng deplor- ed in pathetic lyrics the wrongs suffered by their people at the hands of oth- ers, gave praise to God in pious hymns and songs and above all perpetuated the history of their country in their incomparable Epic, the Cid. If all this and much more can be garnered into a receptive mind by the careful, thorough study of Spanish, why should it be a waste of time? -CARL SUPER '28. ONE HUNDRED HIS T 01? Y Benefits of History History, history-and more his- tory, seems there's no let-up. Why, I'm sure I could have defeated Lee myself. He ought to have given up a long time before he did. VVhy-- Say, stop and come to bed. Don't you think a fellow wants to sleep? VVcll, if you'd have to prepare nine paragraphs of history for tomorrow you'd study too. R, A. AALGER Aw! what good is history going to do you, and besides-if you want to study, kindly do so with less noise. VVhy I know that book from cover to covcr, and since you're bound to keep me awake, I'm going to tell you a thing or so about history. No you don't. I gotta study. Besides, I know as much as you do any way. All right! What does history mean? That's easy! VVhy, history is -alwell-ia- There now! You don't even know the first question. Listen to me and I'1l tell you the gist about history. Consider now for a few moments 'the excel- lence and importance of the study of history. Let us take, for an example, our own picturesque U. S. A. How did it become such a grand and glorious repub- lic? VVhy is it the hallowed sanctum of each and every American patriot? To answer these questions satisfactorily we must needs roll back the curtain of the remote past and trace the origin, growth, development, and progress of this great nation of ours, once a vast wilderness peopled by savage tribes. When our forefathers landed on that memorable day in I62O they faced a monstrous undertaking, but they spurned no sacrifice, they suffered untold hardships, trials, and sorrows a hundredfold to lay the foundations of a new nation. Heartaches there were and failures too, but never discouragement or surrender. No, each unsuccessful effort seemed but to spur them on to higher and greater aspira- tions and hopes, till finally they triumphed and eventually bequeathed to us this beautiful America, which we gaze upon today with boastful pride and pro- claim 'the land of the free and the home of the brave.' And now you are going to ask me how I come to know all this. VVell, were it not for History, you and I, in fact, the whole world would be at a loss to know the why and the wherefore of this great republic. There would be no such thing as real patriotism, for one cannot love what one does not know. Therefore, the very first and greatest advantage derived from the study of any history, but especially that of one's own loved native land, is to know it better that we might love and esteem it more. -NORBERT ROSE '28.

The streets were slippery and flooded and the trolley traf- fic was interrupted. Professor Oliver stared angrily at the unceasing down-pour and muttered. He was supposed to attend a laboratory experiment at the col- lege of which he was Professor of Science, but he was gradually succumbing to a strong temptation. At last he yielded. After a short telephone call, he re- tired but not until he had consumed several bananas of which he was very fond. They proved too much for his digestive powers and with his opening nightmare we find him in his laboratory. I-Ie is on his way to a great discovery- Per petual Youth, The Elixir of Life. Now let's see, he meditated, on what shall 1 try it first? Ah! I have it. I will give a portion of it to a guinea pig. He left the laboratory and walked across the street to a bird and animal store to buy his victim to science. As he came from the entrance he met Mr. Walker and told him of his find. Mr. 'Nalker was a very rich and prominent man. Although he was in good health financially, his eyesight was failing rapidly and rheumatism was raging a win- ning battle against the former spryness of his limbs. The words of Oliver were music to his ears. He invited himself to the test-room at four o'clock the next afternoon. As he hurried away, he chuckled to himself. He would buy the right to the secret and have the joke on Jones, another rich rival in search of health. He would, he gloated, still be young and in good health, when they carry Jones to his last resting-place. Oh manlg the follies of youth would be his to live over again. But, fate was conspiring against him. Oliver invited jones to the appointment alsog and they arrived at the same time. Of course, neither one relished the presence of the other and speaking terms were torn out by their roots. Oliver greeted them with bubbling words and a beaming face. It worked! It worked! The pig is in its infancy again. I have to feed it with a bottle. The two customers sighed with contentment. Soon their stiffened legs would be carrying them blithely to dances and hikes. Oliver ushered them into the room in which he had discovered his great human aid. After having seated his friends in a place most conducive to the comfort of their protesting bones, he opened a drawer and extracted a little brown bottle. Here is life! Here is joy! Here is youth with all its glories! he cried with enthusiasm. Now if you gentlemen will wait a few minutes I will get the several animals that have been given various-sized doses of this won- derful discovery. He left in a hurry with much noise. His progress to the rear of the build- ing could be heard plainly in the laboratory. As the sound finally ceased, Mr. Jones rose and limped to a window. When his back was turned, Walker quickly took a large swallow of the liquid in the bottle. Why pay for what can be obtained for nothing? he thought with a grin, Oliver will never know the difference. Jones returned to his vacated chair and settled himself with many grunts and sighs. What a terrible thing is old age, commented Walker to himself with a smile as he walked around the room examining the many curiosities. It seemed that Jones was thinking the same, for, as the other became engrossed in an inscription upon the wall, a swallow of the amber colored liquid found its way to his mouth also. How refreshing it was! The fluid had a sweet cool taste and was very soothing. He actually felt like taking a long walk in the park. He would do-. Why, what was happening, he inquired of himself. Was he intoxicated? Mr. Walker had grown shorter, and by George! it wasn't Walk- ONE HUNDRED AND SIX er. It was a younger man. What the-! Was the fellow crazy? Playing on the floor was not an occupation for a man of sixty-five. Good gracious! The man was actually crying! He seems to-. His stream of surprised meditation was interrupted by a loud thump at the foot of his chair. He looked down and almost fainted. His shoe had fallenloff. He added to the din made by the baby with a terrified shriek that no gentle- man with the use of reason would utter. But what did he care? The tempta- tion to crawl upon the floor was becoming very strong. But, oh, the chair was so high and he was so small! As he tried to touch the floor with his tiny foot the wails of Mr. Walker ceased. Why all the silence, da-da-daed Mr. Jones with a baby stare at the spot last occupied by the other. Walker was gone. He had vanished into thin air. Oh, he was all alone! How terrible! What was that noise! The other shoe was gone also! Mr. Carver approached his office rapidly. He thought he heard a baby crying. The sound seemed to be growing fainter and he burst into the room in time to see Mr. Jones' clothing sag into a heap on the chair. With a choking cry, Oliver rushed to the table. His priceless elixir was goneg the bottle was lying at the foot of Jones' vacated chair. And horrors of horrors! the two men had vanished leaving their clothing behind. What a predicament to be in! He was responsible for the disappearance of the fellows. The papers would call it murder. Why there was a policeman pacing up and down in front of his building already. He could hear his steps as he walked slowly back and forth. His body was shaking and he was steadily becoming weaker. He was a murder- er. The thought was too much for him and his knees sagged. He fell to the floor and lost consciousness. Suddenly he woke up and found himself lying on the floor at his bedside shaking in a cold breeze blowing in from an open win- dow. -CARL SUPER '28. .

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN ONE HUNDRED AND TEN CATHOLIC CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION On the evening of May 27th. 1927, a new organization in connection with the Catholic Central High School came into existence, when twenty-seven graduates n'et in the Library and enrolled themselves as Charter Members of the Catho- lic Central High School Alumni Association. The objects of this assembly are to promote the educational and social in- terests of their Alma Mater, to encourage a love for Catholic education, and to stimulate and preserve the bonds of friendship established during their school days. The society has been placed under the patronage of the Holy Family, as the pupils come from the three parishes of the city, which are dedicated to the Bless- ed Virgin, to the Sacred Heart, and to St. Joseph. The members compose two groups ,the honorary and the active. The hon- orary members are the Reverend Superintendent and the Pastors of the Parochial Schools, all present and former members of the C. C. H. Faculty, and all members who may enter the priesthood or a religious community. The graduates are the active members and each year reception for the new members is held as soon aft- er graduation as possible. The first officers elected are as follows: Mr. Paul Koellner '24, Presidentg Miss Marjorie Thorn '27, Vice-Presidentg Miss Beatrice Pohlmeyer '26, Secretaryg Mr. Philip Helling '25, Treasurer. They have worked faithfully and zealously, and with the co-operation of the members have given several successful bene- fit affairs. The first affair of their Social Calendar was an Alumni Dance and Reception held on Thursday, june the ninth, when the sixteen graduates of June the sixth were the honor guests. On August the twenty-fourth a delightful time was spent by the members at a Wiener-roast held at Bridgeport in honor of the members who were leaving the city to pursue advanced studies in higher institutions. The crowning social event of the year was the formal Alumni Banquet and Dance held on December the twenty-eighth, which time was most opportune for the out- of-town members, who were at home for their Christmas vacation, to attend. Thus, through frequent meetings and united effort, it is the aim of the mem- bers to form a strong foundation for the Catholic Central High School and by their enthusiasm, loyalty, and moral support, to be an inspiration and guide to those who are at present students in their beloved Alma Mater. ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN Urganizations The Catholic Central High School boasts of four active Literary Societiesg Newman Literary Society, Longfellow Literary So- ciety, Edgar A. Guest Literary Club, and Joyce Kilmer Literary Association. Clubs in the respective departments of Spanish, Latin, Science, Home Economics, and Dra- matics are well represented and duly sup- f ported. ' The Literary Societies are of great value to the students and have a two-fold pur- A' CARNEGIE pose, namely, to cultivate a taste for read- ing better literature, and to develop a desire for correct expression of thought. The regular meetings, held every month strictly according to parliamentary law, afford an occasion for debates, original programs. and discussions of a literary nature. Programs are valuable aids in training the members to speak with poise and calm assurance before the public, besides creating a real school spirit and developing the qualities necessary for successful social intercourse. The Senior Spanish Students under the guidance of Sister Mary Clara have organized one of the most active clubs of the school, the Senior Spanish Spar- tans. This society carries on all its business and programs in Spanish, which af- fords wonderful opportunity for practical application of theory. Interesting reports concerning Spain and its inhabitants are presented. The Latin Club, composed of members of the various Latin classes, sponsors similar meetings. The most distinguished presentation given by this society was a Latin play by the members under the direction of Sister Mary Emmanuel, at a meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association. Members of the four science classes, directed by Sister Mary Olivet, com- pose, the Science Club, which aims to demonstrate and explain many principles of interest which are not included in the regular classes. These demonstrations are given for the Parent-Teachers' Association, and also for the benefit of the stu- dents in general. The Home Economics Club is composed of the students of the Domestic Art and Science Departments. It is they who prepare tempting dishes on rainy days for all who wish to partake of their luncheon at school. They have also net- ted neat little sums for the Banner by doughnut sales, etc. Every student displaying love, interest, and talent for dramatic work is qualified for membership in the High-School Dramatic Club, whose work in the past year has been excellently carried out. In June, I927, the Alumni Association of the Catholic Central High School was definitely organized. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month, the principal aim of which is to stimulate interest in the progress of the Catholic Central High School. -ROBERT WILLIAMS '28. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT ALUM I ONE HUNDRED AND NINE ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION During the past year the Parent-Teachers' Association has continued to be a very vital factor in the lives of the pupils attending the Catholic Central High School. The monthly meetings have always been full of interest and enthu- siam and have given the parents the opportunity of meeting the different teach- ers and of understanding better their children's problems, difficulties, and apti- tudes. From time to time the pupils of the different clubs entertained the mem- bers, and demonstrated some of the work that is done in the classroom. The school benefited not only by the moral support given, but very materially by the assistance given the Orchestra and the Athletic Association. Both athletics and music are important factors and have shown great improvement during the past year. - ' Socially the members have had many good times at their various entertain- ments, the most popular of which have been their Old-Fashioned Dances. At the February meeting a new staff of officers was installed. They were: Mr. A. J. Kessler, Presidentg Mr, E. T. Einspanjer, Treasurer, Mrs. Otis Biggs, Recording Secretary, and Mrs. Fred Albers, Financial Secretary. The retiring officers, who had so ably and successfully conducted the affairs of the organiza- tion from its infancy to its present flourishing condition, were given a hearty vote of thanks for their faithful and cheerful service. As the new officers will receive the same hearty co-operation of the members, it is hoped and expected that the association will steadily increase in members until all parents are en- rolled and thus become a great power for good in promoting and encouraging thorough Catholic Education in the city of Fort Madison. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN V-,.. ww-F Winner Booster Contest ! MISS FRANCES ALBERS, '30 MR. GILBERT KESSLER, '28 Second in Booster Contest ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THE BOOSTER CLUB What is more essential to a school's success than leaders-students who consid- er no price too big to pay for the honor of their schoolg no work too laborious when the result spells success? Realizing this need, September saw the C. C. H. S. students assembled for the purpose of organizing a real Booster Club. Spirits ran high, and all seemed eager to be first-class Boosters. Contrary to the general experience, enthusiasm waned not a bit, and the many successful activities, the true school spirit shown in all un- dertakings proved that the Booster Club of '28 did its utmost to keep C. C. H. S. on the top. Though many run in a race, only to one is awarded the prize, and so it is in this case. The two outstanding names that lead all others are Miss Frances Al- bers, '30 and Mr. Gilbert Kessler, '28, The former was untiring in her efforts to secure advertisements for the Banner and netted in all 991 points. Mr. Kessler, who netted 852 points, never wearied in encouraging by word and example his fel- low students to redouble their efforts in behalf of the school. In all its activities he was their leader. Honorable mention must be given also to Messrs. Carl Super, '28, 6895 Bernard Krieger, '28, 4S9Q Adelbert Solheid, '28, 4563 Robert Guenther, '28, 3765 Robert Linsenmeyer, '29, 377, Junior Kern, '31, 300, Henry Schwarzer, '31, 300, and the Misses Helen Capwell, '28, 536, Geneva Carney '28, 414, Helen Mansheim, '29, 7485 Mary Einspanjer, '29, 594, Johanna Vonderheaar, '29, 335, Lu- cille Rose '29, 3203 Marie Gockel, '29, 300, Anna Greenwald, '31, 229, Ella Buck- man, '31, 3043 Lucille Schott, '31, 302, Rosaline Grossenkemper, '31, 300.

That clean, evenly burning coal that you want comes from a great bed of fuel that nature left free of impurities. There is no slack or slate in Genu- ine Zeigler. It is clean when they take it from the vein, but what few impurities that might he dislodged and find their way into it are care- fully hand picked to insure you get- ting coal as clean as modern methods and equipment can make it. Every load of Genuine Zeigler is the same. You'll never find your- self saying, that last coal Wasn't as good as it used to be. It gives a hot fire, free from soot and dirt, and leaves a comparatively small quantity of easily handled ash. A trial has never disappointed.

The sun will throw its rays. Sitting down and Whining never helps a bit, Best Way out of it, is just use your grit. Don't give up hoping when the ship goes down, Grab a spar - - anything - - just refuse to drown. Don't think you're dying - - just because you're hit, Sit right up - - take notice - - use your grit. - - N. J. Rose, '28.
