Rickety Rackety Russ, We’re not allowed to cuss, But nevertheless you must confess There’s nothing the matter with US-S-S-S-S-S. LOCOMOTIVE YELL C-E-N-T-R-A-L, C-E-N-T-R-A-L, C-E-N-T-R-A-L CENTRAL, CENTRAL, CENTRAL. CLASS PINS What has been said of the cap might also be applied to our rings and pins. Without a doubt the rings grace far prettier personages than do the caps, that is understood without a single contradiction. The caps must be politely doffed when entering a building but the dainty little finger girths have access to innumerable places without having to be removed. The rings and pins formed on a long octagonal shield bear the Central High monogram cleverly set out in purple and gold. The design was submitted among numerous by Walter G. Agnew and after a pro¬ longed and heated discussion at an early meeting of the Hi-Y Club, the present design was selected. Arrangements have been made with the jeweler to carry a stock in future of these pins and rings so that all students desiring such may obtain them without difficulty. Dear Mr. Editor: For the benefit of the reading public who have been fortunate enough not to hear our Rooters’ Club I would like to state we have one worthy of the name. Rut there’s absolutely no need for singing its praises as the Club has clearly shown it is quite capable of making it’s own noise— especially when they meet S.C.H.S. at a basketball game. However, these noble heroes have attended all basketball games, etc., and while C.C.I. vanquished on the floor the Rooters’ Club surely vanquished all noises. This Club is entirely composed of male voices under the competent leader¬ ship (if a loud voice and gestures count for anything) of Ralph Rogers. However, we’ll have to hand it to the Rooters’ Club for its intrepid enthusiasm and assistance it rendered (rendered is the only word) in reviving school spirit. We’ll surely need them to lift up their voices to help us banish dull care and to help us get rid of that tired feeling pre¬ valent around exam, times. “DEMASTHENES.”

The Analecta 19 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL (J. W. C.) rile basketball season of 1926 ran true to form in that C.C.I. with their veteran line-up carried the league championship for the third successive time. Starting the season with four members of last year’s champions on the roster the wearers of the purple were considered the team to beat for the title, but the ease with which they defeated all oppo¬ sition was rather unlooked for. Alice Allen, Madeline Piette, Muriel Thom and Ruth Bingham of last year’s team responded to the call when the team went into training in October. This save C.C.I. the same forward line that won the honors in 1925. Helen Woodside, a member of the 1924 team, came back to the game and paired on the defence with Ruth Bingham. Eva Brown, a member of the freshman class made the position of jumping centre and completed what was probably the smoothest working sextet that ever represented the purple on a basketball floor. The team was without doubt the best balanced, both offensively and defensively, that has ever played in the Interscholastic league. Eleven games were included on Central’s schedule, all of these being victories for Central, the closest being tbe final which was played at the Y.M.C.A. and resulted in a purple victorv by a score of 36 to 15. During the season the purple machine scored 592 points to the 69 scored by their opponents. The season was the third completed by C.C.I. without a defeat and saw the Central record of consecutive victories climb to forty. Centrals introduced tactics that were novel to the Intercollegiate game by adopting so far as possible the newer methods of the men’s game. On tip-offs they employed a revised addition of the “Y” formation of Wisconsin that brought five players into defence territory. When not in possession at least five of the players were concerned with defensive tactics. No team was able to cope successfully with this guard. Crescent Heights, in the final, did manage to score six times from the floor but in so doing weakened their own defence that Central counted no less than seventeen field baskets. Offensively the Central team was unstoppable, the strength of the attack lying in their using five players to rush the ball well up the floor and these employed short passes to retain possession until a forward broke free for a close-in shot. Great credit is due to the members of the team for their faithful attendance at practice and the unselfishness which characterised the play¬ ing of each and every girl. Probably no better evidence of loyalty and team spirit could have been shown by any team than that displayed by the purple clad co-eds when they elected Alice Allen captain for the third year. It was a splendid tribute to the one so elected, but it is no less a one to the team themselves. Many a splendid team has been ruined by
