How wonderful it was to be able to rush into a class six or seven minutes late, and loudly exclaim in our Finest grammar school Eng- lish without the fear of detention, Miss White, we couldn't Find room 16-A. Those were the happy days, long before algebra, chemistry, or Latin pushed beautiful dreams of walls, electric trains, and our gram- mar school graduation from our heads, re- placing them with hard cold facts. NVe are Seniors, four short years have passed since that memorable day in February, 1936, when we placed ourselves in the hands of the teachers as raw material, not unlike clay. We were to be molded into and trained as the young men and women who had gone before. To be again a freshman would be our fondest desire. During these four years we have progressed at a rapid pace. We came to Central with hardly a thought that was our own. What little knowledge we had was planted fervently in our minds by our gram- , W 1, mar school teacher placed there for the ex- pressed purpose to help us in high school. Remember when we used to sit in our classroom at 1:45 and look out of the opened door with a forlorn look in our eyes as we watched the upper classmen preparing to go home? I-low jovial they seemed as they waited for or ran along with their friends. Yet we seniors wish that we were back to those delightful days. ln the past we have studied and worked hard, so that someday we, too, could be seniors. Work was plentiful, but many good times we also had at school. Tea dances, ball games, junior proms, track meets, club activities and the duties that we have done so joyously and willingly for our school papers and magazines occupied the spare moments of our four year curricula, leaving us many happy memories. Freshmen, it is needless to say that the class of 1940-B wishes and hopes that some day you may take our place in this beloved school and have as much love and respect for Central as we have. Y Luffy IANUARY AGLAIA A Small Box By IEAN BRAKELEY On my desk ,before me lies a small box with a raised lid. I made it at camp quite a number of years ago. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of those happy years. The cover is painted blue to represent sky and is flcckedi with fleecy clouds and one or two gulls. In the picture is a schooner which sails on a rolling summer sea. On one side is a light house, standing lonely on the barren crags. It is not at all professional looking and not large enough to be useful. There is only one duty I ask of it and that is to amuse me. All I have to do is to open my desk and there before me is a serene picture of a ship under full sail heading out to sea on a cool summer day. What more is needed to stir the imagi- nation? It suggests so many little stories with a salty tang, brief fantasies born and forgotten in a moment, startling little dreams which will never come true. When it was made, I never realized the thoughts which would come to me when I should look at it in the years to come, But several years have made a great difference to me. Now it fascinates me and intrigues me. It reminds me of that camp from which it came and the hours I spent on similar time-worn rocks 'with the cold, salty ocean foaming at my very toes and the same gulls drifting in the same skies. How many people, I wonder, get as much enjoyment out of a similar thing which gives them happyxmemories, such as my little box gives to me? 'I know that nothing which I possess gives me more pleasure when I glance at it and think of my old friends and the familiar places which I shall probably never see again. 5 Riches By VIRGINIA McLAUGHLIN Dad, wouldnjt it be wonderful to be rich? asked the little boy. Well, son, I've never been really wealthy, but I imagine it would be nice to have e- nough money to buy the things I want. Dad, how much money do you need to be rich? That's hard to say, son. It would de- pend on what you wanted in life. And the more money you have, the more you usually Want. Gee, it must be swell to have lots of money. I'm going to be rich some day, and I'll give you some of my money, too, Dad. You just wait and see! as as ar at 'gWell, sonl It's nice to see you,', the old man said in a feeble voice. How have you been doing? 'Tm fine, Dadf' declared theyoung man, just fine. You don't look so prosperous, reprov- ed his father. You know you sort of promis- ed to make us richf' 'KOh, that, Dad, I guess I'll always be poor when it comes to money matters. But as for myself Dad, I,m a rich man! Wait a minute, son, the old man said in his slow voice. You haven't any money- yet you're a rich man? Oh Dad, donlt you see? Money doesn't matter! You've just said you were glad to see me. I've got you, Mother, enough to eat, a place to sleep, and Dad, I've got other things that money could never buy. I have happiness and friendsf' But you always said your happiness depends on dollars and cents. What's changed your mind, son?,, That was before I found out about life, before I knew what it is to be really rich. A ti M. H. S. Ott-u:t,E I'II Tillil' The Country Hy l.XNl .

All eyes were focused on the figure before them on the platform. All ears strained to catch the first words of his speech. There he' stood with his boney hands firmly clasping the rostrum. He was dressed in a Held-gray uniform and the iron cross hung loosely from his pocket adding a mili- tary air to his presence. As he leaned slightly forward to speak, the tumult of the hall be- came hushed and a vibrant silence filled the atmosphere. Before him stretched the endless sea of upturned faces. Behind him, draped from the lofty rafters, hung a great flag, resplendent in its vivid hues and shades. His first words were slow and scarcely audible yet an eerie, magnetic force centered all eyes upon him. Words began to How. The small figure became a human dy- namo. His tanned face glowed as he poured out an inexhaustable stream of words. His eyes Hashed as if the ancient fires of old were being rekindled in the recesses of his glowing orbs. An occasional outburst of emotion in- terrupted the fiery oration. Then it came like ll thunderbolt from the blue. War has been declared but the Fatherland will return vict- orious from the fray. Silence filled the room for a moment. Then a tremendous ovation shook the building. The die is cast. The dictator has spoken. Call From Tho Uffioo By IANET ROLLINS The telephone rings, all in the classroom hold their breath, each member dreading a summons to the: office. The teacher picks up the receiver, says Room 14, listens, 'and then turns slowly to glance over the entire room. 7 A breathless silence develops while she hangs up the receiver and turns to the class. Each member of the class feels his heart beat quicker and in his mind he goes back over the last few days. Black thoughts fill his mind as well as bright ones. There was the time he threw a book at Tom, had Tom told? Then again there was a time he had skipped school, had he been seen swimming? But wait, the teacher is going to speak. Her first words are, We will now turn to page lO7.,, There is a great sigh and a chorus of squeaks as the tense pupils relax and lean back in their chairs. It was just a call for the teacher. 'Pho 'Pops Aro Tops By GEORGE CLARK Maybe our students think they are art- ists. They must be, judged by the tops of the desks in our high school. Is the art modern? Well, if modern art is defined as something you have to puzzle over and never quite understand, it certainly is. The masterpieces are connected with personal affairs, clues, or hints to tests, and many a written flirtation has started on desk tops. To look at certain tops one would think they were registers, but, of course, it is only another convenience or pleasure bestow- ed upon the high school student so that he may enjoy himself when he has a few spare minutes. lf you have never thought of tops before, why don't you just take a jaunt through some of the rooms of the old building and see for yourself? Students, don't let this matter concern you, because it started before your time, and I suppose will continue long after you arc forgotten. 8 Hobbies By WALTER ZEKOS The dictionary defines a hobby as a favorite pursuit. It is a rather vague defini- tion. Can we broaden it? The diversity and eccentricity of hobbies are amazing. Hobbies fall under a number of categories. They may be amusing, educational, entertaining, body- building, explorative, or time-killing. The majority fall under the time-killing classif- ication. They are time-killers simply because the dilletante mood is so prevalent. This mood has come to be, chiefly because the pursuers are interested in only one aspect of the subject. For example, a philatelist is only aware of the fact that his collection is worth money or that it is superior to a rival's. If he only knew the story behind each stamp, he would be in possession of an amazing amount of history. Because a hobby is often the expression of an innate desire, it often is the pursuer and not the pursued. That is to say, a hobbyist often realizes the extrava- gance, the uselessness, the fatality of his quirk, but his mind allows him no peace until he has temporarily assuaged it by oc- cupying himself with his diversion for a time. M. H. S. ORACLE Upon the hands of the multitude time lies heavy. What can they do? Oh, there are so many things to do. But they all call for an expenditure of effort. By a method of elimination they are discarded one by one until the one calling for a minimum of effort and possessing the maximun amount of agreeability is lit upon. But alas and alack, those things that call for a minimum of effort are unproductive of anything that gives a lasting satisfaction. Another factor that serves as a detriment toward the achievement of lasting pleasure is the fact that interest in a subject often wavers before it has waxed to the point where a complete understanding is reached. One often believes that he would like to do this or that if he were given the opportunity. Provided the opportunity, he finds that closer acquaintance merely brings out the disagreeabilities. For th-is reason many a person lacks a hobby and admires the person who has one which imparts zest to his life. What those who have no hobbies must be brought to realize is that deep at- tachment to any object can only come through knowledge from long acquaintance. A Passport By ANGELO SCANDALIS Listen, boys and girls. Did you ever get a passport? No! Well, there is nothing to it. All you need is a doctor, a corporation lawyer, an act of Congress, and your birth certificate. You can be President of the U. S. A. much easier. When we arrived fFred Cycle and lj, a bald-headed man handed us a piece of paper the size of a bed sheet and told us to fill it out. The questions went something like this: Were you born? If so, why? Are you white, colored, or Eskimo? Married, single, or divorced? If not, when? Are your tonsils in or out? State number of operations- major, minor, or E Hat? Are you troubled with gout? Where does your next meal come from? Do you play the saxophone? We no more had this maze straightened out than a man told us to have our pictures taken. When we reached the street, I said, It seems ridiculous that we should have to IANUARY AGLAIA go through all this just to take a trip to Haiti. If I had known I would have gone to Flori- da. The passport photographer's studio was an old tumble down shack, covered in dust. The photographer, with long black hair and an inflated nose placed us before a Brownie, climbed under a horse blanket, and squeezed a string on the end of the hose. When our photographs arrived, I thought I couldn't tell whether I was Captain Bligh or the father of Frankenstein's monster. As for Fred, he looked like a cross between Bar- ney Google and something that lives in a tree. We then returned to the passport office to have the valentine pasted on the question- naire. The man took one look at our portraits and promptly made us hold up our right hands while he recited Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. I guess that he took us for aliens. After that, he charged us ten dollars each, and the passports were sent to Washington to be pass- ed by Congress. Four days later we were presented with the passports, signed by the President, the Secretary of the Navy, I. Edgar Hoover, and Ioe Humphreys. They contained enough red and gold seals to incorporate a Nevada gold mine. Proudly llshamed By ELAINE HOFFMAN I have always been interested in athlet- ics. I had hopes that when in high school I would be able, in some way, to excel on one of its athletic teams. But soon I found out that Central High School was not interested in the athletic abilities of the feminine sex. As I come from an athletically-inclined family, I naturally wanted to participate in something. But along came Squint. Who's Squint? Why, he's my little brother who has always teased me about my athletic lean- 9 ings. He entered high school and went out for football, which was no novelty in our family, and made the freshman team. But soon he was transferred to the big team! Before he had entered high school, I had always argued with him about my athletic ability and finally ended by telling him that he wouldn't make out so well athletically himself. Now he doesn't say anything, but he gives me those I told-you-so glances once in a while that make me furious. It bothers me a little to have a youngster out-class me, so to speak. But he is a brother and I suppose I am really proud of him-a fact I would never let him suspect, for he has put me to shame. I'm still grateful and I'm joyful and hoping for him to do greater things-Yes! I'm proudly ashamed! Granny Pays Her lleht By IRENE PARENTEAU Don't stop in there now, Beth, the girls cried. You'll miss the hike! Beth hesitated. If only Ild known a- head of time that you were going, I'd have run in at Granny's this noon, she told them. But surely you needn't see Granny every day, Ann complained. After all, she isn't your real grandmotherf' No, but she counts on my coming, Beth said slowly. You go ahead, and I'll try to get out early and catch up with you. She ran up and entered Granny's house Without knocking as Granny couldn't hear a knock anyway. Hello, Granny! she shout- ed to a little lady who was rocking as she pieced together a quilt. Ganny looked up. It's Beth! she said. Come sit down, dear, I'll get you a bite to eat. After she had eaten, Beth sat in a low chair beside the old lady, listening to the tales of Granny's youth. It was almost dark when Beth left the house and went home. 10 Disappointedly, she realized that she had missed the hike. Maybe Anne was right, after all, it wasn't any duty of hers to call on Granny everyday. The next day Beth went to school, and as she reached the hall she saw a notice on the school bulletin board which said that all En- glish classes should prepare themes on pion- eer days in Iowa and submit them. The first prize was a trip to Washington. Alice, one of her friends, said to Beth, I have the best idea! My family is going to Des Moines this week-end, and I'm just going to ask them to take you and Anne and me along! Think of all the contest material we can find in the Des Moines library that nobody else in this town will have. It sounds marvelous! Beth agreed. Wonderfull But let's go down town and get some material in our library first. As the three turned into the street Beth suddenly said, Oh, goodness, if I'm going out of town tomorrow, I ought to see wheth- er Granr.y needs anything now. The others giggled. Beth blushed. I don't suppose she wants anything anyway! Let's go! At the library she could not keep her mind on her work, on every page she seemed to see the picture of Granny sitting home all alone. She could not stand it any longer. Rising, she gave an excuse to the girls and went out of the library. There was still time to see Granny before supper. There was no light at Granny's house, the rooms were very still. Granny, Beth called. As no one answered, she cried louder, Granny. When she had found the old lady, help- less and sick, Beth got her to the couch and ran for the doctor. By Saturday Granny was out of danger. Beth remained with her con- stantly. The doctor told Beth that if help had not reached Granny when it had, it would have been too late. Beth remembered how near she had come to omitting her call because of the girls' teasing. M. H. S. ORACLE One of the girls phoned Beth telling her that they were sorry that she couldn't go with them to Des Moines. You should see the themes we wrote. said the girls, from material we found at the library there. Themes! Beth said, Gracious! I will have to make up one, I guessf' The next morning in class after she had handed in her paper, she forgot it imme- diately, so much was she thinking of Granny. One evening Granny told Beth that she was like a real daughter to her. I wish I could do something for you, Bethli' she said, live always paid my debts. This reminded Beth of her wish. The next day in class the teacher had an announcement to make. The winner of the contest had been decided, and had come from that class. Before I announce her name, she said, I want to read the winning theme. From the desk she picked the sheet of paper and began to read. Listening, Beth was astonished. Sitting back in her seat with an amazed expression she listened to the familiar words, many, many times recited by Granny. Her theme had won the prize. When Granny had said, I wish I could do something for you. Beth told her that her debt was paid and that she would always be indebted to Granny. The Beggars Life By IEAN BRAKELEY I-low does he live? How can he exist? Probably he experiences more and sees more places and people than most of us do. Perhaps he becomes used to his wanderings and really enjoys it. But what does he do all the time- just walk from door to door asking for meals or clothes to replace old, worn-out garments? We have an occasional visitor who comes to our door about once every year. Each time mother says, You,ve been here before, he never tries to conceal the fact but acts IANUARY AGLAIA quite self-possessed as he remarks, any place looks good when you're hungry. I remember one Saturday night when he came to the door and told us he was hungry. Mother gave him a tray with exactly the same food we were having for dinner-baked beans, bread and butter, a large glass of milk, and apple pie. This ,he devoured quite quickly, and when asked if he cared for any more, he hastily replied that he was still a little hungry. Again the tray was filled and again everything disappeared with unusual speed. At last he appeared to be filled. Then he showed us his shoes-how thin they were! Mother hurried us to the attic in search of another pair. I-low happy he was when he left us! We wonder where he is now. Perhaps far away asking for his meals in another part of the country. Nobody likes to give tramps a ride, so probably he rides in freight trains or in big noisy trucks. Maybe he has a job now and is working hard. Has he relatives or a family I wonder? What does he do at times like Christmas or Thanksgiving? What made him a beggar in the first place? I would like to ask him these questions but I think he would probably be embar- rassed, or maybe his pride would be hurt. Nevertheless this man has never stopped in- teresting us, and we are always glad to greet him when he comes to our door saying, Ma'm, could I please have something to eat? lllll kinllint By VIRGINIA McLAUGHLIN Hey, Ioe, lookit them apples! Oh boy! Could I go a couple of them! Wonder Where old man Brown is? Probably hiding behind the barn with a pop-gun! I bet he'd just as soon shoot us if he saw us taking his apples. 11 Gee, they sure look good! S'pose we could shake some of 'em down? No, held see the tree moving and maybe send a blood-hound after us! The boys say hels as mean as they comef' I'll tell ya what! You stay down here and watch, and I'll climb up and throw some downf' Okey, but make it fast! Anybody comin? Naw, hurry up and start throwin' down them apples, will ya?'l Oh wait a minute, can't ya? Boy, are these swell! I wonder if he'd-I' Hey, Ioe. Here he comes! Hurry up, ya wanna get killed! Hurry! 'Tm comin', I-Oh! My pants are caught! l'Wow, was that close! Did he see us? I don't know, but we'd better not try it againf' Did ya bring down any apples? Ye Gods! I get my pants caught on a branch, and almost kill myself, and you ask me if I got any apples! Let's get goin. Hello there, boys!-What's the matter, did I startle you? N-oo-oo-o, Mr. Brown, we-we-we were just takin'- we were just takin' a walk. Well, now, I've been looking for you boys today. I wanted you to take a few bags of those apples home to your folks before I pick 'em and put 'em away for the winter. You mean-- Yes, yes, I know you like apples, I did when I was a boy, but I'm getting old now and apples are just about like everything else to me. Have another apple, Ioe, there's still a bag and a half left. I'm sick of apples. And what'll ma say when she sees my pants! l i THE FARM liy l.XNllf5 SIUXNKJS Vl'hen l was ahout seven years old l used to spend my summers on the farm. Nothing has ever quite equalled it. l can still rememher the early sunshine that only exists in tlit- early rising on the farm. lt was pleasant to roam the meadows, lacing one's own master. 'lihe sweet smell ol' the hay, hleached hy the sun, was one thing that l will never quite forget. 'lihere was something ahout this aroma that made one lieel gay, and glad to he alive. ilihere was no monotony on the larm. livery day hroughl something new. On rainy days we lioys would take to the harn where a game of pirates was always enjoyed. The three ol' us, all related in some way or an- other, would he on one side. For a villain, the hired man was picked as he was the fellow who tried to oust us from the barn on every occasion. Ile was not fitted for the role, lor he was a jolly fellow under orders not to allow us in the harn for fear we would scare the horses. My uncle was a grand old man who always had a smile, He was aging rapidly under the strain of worry which at that time was caused hy the depression. Still he al- ways had a merry word for any of us. No one ol us will ever forget our re- gret when he announced our games were over, Iiorever. The liarm was to he sold. No one could speak. There seemed nothing lor us to say. VVe were at gi loss for Words. Years have passed. VVe are now con- siderahly older, hut, whenever l meet the other two childhood friends from the farm, our eyes can not meet without the same thought entering our minds. A thought that is really a longing for the farm which we enjoyed so much as children. IANUARY AGLAIA An American By EVELYN ALDRIDGE Every town has a handy man and Otis was no exception, but this handy man was exceptional. Everyone who knew him could not re- sist finding some job for him to do. He was a proud and independent soul who loved liberty and his country ahead of anything else. If a mother called her children and they didn't answer, she would know they were listening to Old Dan telling fascinating stor- ies, and if it were evening, they would pro- bably be roasting apples. If husbands were missing, they also could be found at Old Dan's house arguing politics and world affairs. His fund of knowledge was only exceeded by an encyclo- pedia. Housewives and mothers consulted him on his recipes, for he was as good a cook as he was handy man. Old Dan could boast of having innum- erable friends and no enemies, for never a day went by without someone inviting him to his home for a meal. Children said, He's swellgw women said, He's clever, and the men said, There should be more people like himf, but Old Dan said, I am only a common individual. There are many like me. No one in Otis would agree with him. oll Taking Walks By IEAN BRAKELEY We all like to take walks-those of us who are physically able to do so. The best time of the year to walk is in the early fall when the leaves have turned to brilliant colors and there is a brisk wind in the air which urges the walker on. 13 There is so much to see at these times which we are not likely to observe riding swiftly by in an automobile. Perhaps it is a mere insect crossing the road or an odd tree which has a very queer shape. The fall is the best time in which to walk unless it is a bitter cold winter day. I love to walk along a snowy path and hear the crunch, crunch of the snow beneath my feet. It is usually too cold to walk in the winter, though, and it is better to stay in- doors beside a bright fire if the day has turned out damp and raw. If you have picked out a beautiful day, then start out just before sunset and make your way to some high point where you can watch the sun sink slowly down behind the mountains out of sight. Then while you are returning, think about the beauty of the colors you have just seen. A walk on a clear, summer night is a wonderful experience. If you are an as- tronomer, then you can pick out the stars and constellations with which you are famil- iar. Above all, don't, unless you are an in- trovert, go for a walk all alone, but take your best friend along so that you can share your findings with some one. Growing Up By VIRGINIA DESCHENES Several years ago when I was very young, I had a very close friend named Dorothy. It happened that we were both invited to a party for which we were to have new dresses. We both determined to have very grown-up ones for we were twelve years old and it was time we thought of growing up-so we reasoned. Unfortunately, our mothers thought differently. The result was two very un- grown-up dresses. We were furious. We felt terribly abused. Nobody appreciated us! Nobody even loved us. 14 I know what, Iimmy, we'll run away! Let's, then they'll be sorry they were so mean to us. So for weeks we saved cookies, sand- wiches, and other foods we thought suitable to the open road. What matter if they got stale-we'd be free! The day was May Ig the time-mid- night. Everything was ready-the screens carefully oiled and the alarm clock muffled under the pillow. lust as the clock struck twelve, a large bright moon threw a small shrinking shadow against the earth. The shadow stole fearfully up the hill to the next house. A sibilance brought Dorothy to the corridor and in no time two shadows laden with large paper bags were creeping down the road. Suddenly the silence was broken by the mournful howl of a dog. Dorothy and I stopped stock-still in the road and stared at each other in dis- may. We both knew that Dorothy's mother was a very light sleeper. Whenever the dog barked she got up and roamed about, often looking in at Dorothy. It took not more than two seconds to reach the house. In went Dorothy, shoes-rubbers-all, and the covers up over her head. Alas! in the hurry I forgot to hold the screen, which went down with a bang. As we had expected, in came Mrs. Worcester. If she had looked closely she would no doubt have seen the bed shaking suspiciously as she murmured, That's odd. It must have been the cat.', At the bottom of the diary page marked May I, 1934, is scrawled and so I guess we're not grown up yet, after all. vhool Spirit By ROGERS BLOOD As cement strongly binds solid forms together so does school spirit tend to bind students of Central together in a brotherhood of friendship and understanding. M. H. S. ORACLE It is necessary, however, to combine the ingredients in the required proportions or the cement of school spirit will crumble and the school unity as well. As loyalty, cooperation, and enthusiasm serve as the vital ingredients for the formation of a solid and lasting cement it is necessary that all the materials are not lacking. Today students as well as teachers are the masons upon whose shoulders rest the responsibility for the mixing of a strong material which in time will solidify, bringing about the formation of a strong school unity. When students and teachers fail to sup- port the many school activities and perfor- mances, is not the required amount of loyalty ingredient missing? When pupils fail to appreciate the work done for the school by their own classmates and teachers, is not the necessary amount of enthusiasm lacking? When club meetings are called and few members attend, when aid ,is desperately needed and is overlooked, when activities are open to all and few take advantage, and when personal ambitions overshadow school obli- gations, is not the much required touch of cooperation sorely in need? Those whobfail to supply the ingredients and mix the cement of school spirit are as useless as those who forget or are indifferent as to future results. There are those, however, who are will- ing to sacrifice their time for the building of a strong school unity, but little can they do when others fail to cooperate, having the idea that the price for work is not worth the results. A strong school understanding will help to bring the desires and dreams of students into a reality. Students, teachers, and citizens all must wield the trowel of the builder and create a strong, sturdy foundation for the stalwart building of school unity and strength of the future, l JANUARY AGLAIA Joe College By 1oHN O'LEARY In every small college there is an out- standing character-Ioe College. He is to be seen most frequently on the school campus and at the college activities. When one is attending a school dance he hears, aboutxthe middle of the evening the din of a conglomeration of noises that sounds not unlike the coffee pot boiling over, or a riveting machine hard at its task, and up into the driveway comes an automobile for is itj that has the appearance of a piece of machinery that was with Napoleon at NVaterloo. From out of the maze of signs, bells, alarm clocks, and all the other intricacies of this wonderful mess, steps the one and only loe College. Now Ioe is ,really only you or I but in a much different situation. He makes his ar- rival one that would do justice to an Emperor and he steps from his jaloppy with the pomp and dignity of ai King. As he steps from the car one can easily see his cardinal red socks and green shoes, for his pants hang about eight inches from his knees. His pride is not dampened in the least because right be- side him is his girl friend. Everyone knows Ioe for he makes it his business to know everyone. Studies are the least of his worries. Who cares whyi Hannibal crossed the Alps, or if the Greeks did have a word for any- thing? Ioe doesn't know and doesn't care. But, let some one ask him who was Miss America of 1934-35-36-37238-39, and Ioe will promptly reach into the depths of his massive racoon coat and bring forth pictures and newspaper clippings. When not busy studying he is the very essence of manhood. Lonely? Well, Ioe can fix that, for he runs a dating biureau. 15 Hungry? Well, he can fix that too by getting cut rates from Lanie, the restaurant man. I Flunking? This is an easy matter for Ioe to straighten out because it is he who has a complete collection of Trots, Ponies, and Interleavers. When it comes to getting into trouble Ioe is the artist of artists. It was upon his suggestion that the Dean should not make noise when he drinks his coffee, and through his ingenious power over freshmen a bottle of coffee with a nipple attached was consider- ately provided for the Dean's place. Whose idea was it to hang Danny Amontillado's pants on the Hag pole? None other than Ioe's. Who put the collection of twenty-four garbage receptacles in the proctor's bedroom? Well, by now you should know. Ioe is an artist for getting into trouble but not a member of that learned profession, escape artist. l Love It By ROBERT MERRILL I love to roam the countryside To smell the fragrance sweet, I love to run and jump and hide In fields of golden wheat. I love it where the sun does shine, Where nature blends with God. I love it where it's all sublime, For that's where I have trod. I love it where the snow appears With skies of darkest gray, Where frost of morn does bite our ears And speeds us on our way. I love it where the road does end, When all our dreams come true- To turn and look around each bend And see what I've been thru, I6 Rowing---I fill Hy RUISIQRT Iilil.I.liY Now plttrt' your hccls together-Nol Not your lt-ct. just your hccls-uh, ll1lll.S gootl. l'lnt'c your htumtl on your bosom- Riglttl Right! your right IIZIIIKI, not your It-lt-wcll, can I hulp it il you'rc lclt-ltumlctlr Now ht-ntl from tht- hips vcry grztccfullyl VVcll, no woutlcr you lull ovcr1 I suitl from the hips, not the 1llllilCS-XYIIZII tlo you mean your tuothcr lIOCSI1II how that way-every ruzut hows that wary-ol' courscl Your mo- lht'r's not :1 mztn, I know that-:mtl zutywzly slat- clot-su't how: shc L'0lII'ICSIl,'SfSIlC salitl h4.Ii.S.CJRAcLE she hows?

Having nothing else to do and wishing for a little help he suggested that we clean his room. First we went over to the corner of the room and picked up a pair of skiis and remarked with a burstful sigh that snow was welcome. We began plans for our future. We were planning to go to Mount Mansfield in Vermont for a week and we thought of the heavy equipment we would have to take. He also suggested that we start building a ski rack for the oar-a good idea that is now accomplished. After talking on this for about an hour, he got up and opened a trunk that stood next to the bed. Out of this he pulled a few pairs of boxing gloves, skates, baseball gloves, tennis balls, and baseballs. I asked him what he had the boxing gloves for and he said that he was planning to enter the Golden Gloves Boxing Tourna- ment. We each put on a pair of gloves and sparred around for a while until he let a fast one go that hit me square on the chin. This put a stop to the boxing. He took down a tennis racket that hung on the wall and after taking the press off he felt and broke two strings. But the racket was an old one and needed restringing. Next he took a baseball mitt and found that it had a large rip on the thumb. This he tried hard to mend but after breaking five or six needles he gave up and said he would have a Cobbler do it for him. It was growing late so I left him to clean the room alone. A person would not even have to say a word to this young man to find out that he loved the outdoors and sports. His room spoke for him. 17 Better Doodles By HAROLD PAGE Doodling, as you all know, is the un- conscious drawing or scribbling done by persons in an abstracted state of mind. Everyone has doodled at one time or another. Did you know that only one out of ten persons produce doodles which are correctly drawn? The number of good doodles is de- creasing rapidly each year. fHowever, this is not the fault of the doodler.j Now something must be done to remedy this condition, or soon there will be no such thing as good doodles. The newly founded Society for the Observation and Development of Doodling, of which I am the head, has drawn up a three point plan. This plan, we are sure, will restore the art of doodling to the position it rightfully should hold. First we must find what constitutes a good doodle. The environment of the doodler greatly inHuences the quality of the finished doodle. Through a nation-wide survey taken recently, the I. S. P. O. D. discovered that the best doodles are produced by persons in a bored state of mind. These doodles contain smooth, unified lines, and, as a rule, are beau- tiful to behold. We have found that the three most bor- ing atmospheres are to be found: A-During after-dinner speeches. B-In English classes. C-At lodge meetings. Now for our plan. The I. S. P. O. D. shall employ the money in the treasury to put into effect the following points: A-Institute more banquets, so there will be a greater number of after dinner speeches. B-Get school boards to lengthen the time for English periods. C-Start a campaign to increase lodge membership. These changes mentioned a- bove will take place in the near future. ima. By PAUL MAZNEK Fire is, in my opinion, the most disas- trous and feared element on this earth. It is very untimely and can do more damage in a very short time than any other being, element, or compound. We have fire drills in our school just in case a fire should be encountered. Our Fire drills are good, I suppose. To the super- iors, I believe, they seem quite satisfactory. I do not know how long a period of time elapses before every person is out of the building, but I do wonder just how efficient our Fire drills are. lust how much do we profit by having a fire drill every now and then? I mean, does a fire drill teach us the seriousness of its siginificence? Iust how will we act if there is a real Fire in our school? I-Iow shall we respond if an exit is found cut off? What if we encounter engulfing smoke and perilous flames, devouring everything with a turbulent roar? To many students a fire drill means nothing more than an opportune time to check answers, or to give a detailed descrip- tion of the latest Hirtation. There are many school disasters in our country and a few might be stated here. In Collinwood, Ohio, a school fire claimed one hundred and seventy-three children as vic- tims. In Peabody, Massachusetts, a volcano of scorching smoke fatally engulfed twenty-two girls and boys. The blackened remains of seventy-seven children were raked out of the ashes of a Camden, South Carolina, school- house. Ninety percent of our schools are still shameful fire-traps. A well organized fire drill can work miracles. At Timnath, Colorado, two hun- dred and twenty-three pupils walked through M. H. S. ORACLE smoke so thick that they had to hold hands to avoid going astray in the halls! In Mil- waukee nine hundred and fifty came safely through the blaze in perfect discipline, though the blaze did 335,000 damage in fifteen min- utes, and four hundred and seventy-five youngsters in Fort Worth made their way to safety despite the fact that two stairways had been cut off. The Texas system is the best that may be found in the country. Here the study of Fire hazards is included in every curriculum, and two fire drills a month are held in all schools. Before any drills are held, the students have what football coaches would call skull practice. The location of the primary and secondary exits for each group is made clearg the treacherous behavior of fire is dramatized. In short the pupils are taught the signifi- cance of a fire drill. A feature of the Texas system is the ob- structed drill which gives the children prac- tice in emergency thinking. A large red ball is secretly placed on some stairway or Fire escape, indicating that this exit is cut off. Located so that the students don't see it until the last moments, it comes as a surprise. But they turn calmly to another exit. Sooner or later, stricter measures will be taken so that the students will be prepared to meet the fire emergency that comes to every school.

VVhen I awoke I was Moody and even the brightness of the sun on the Snow didn't Alter my feelings any. I wasn't feel- ing so good but after I had taken a dose of Bromo-SylceQrj I felt somewhat better. No sooner had I risen when I received a Call from the book store. I was still more or less asleep and when I picked up the receiver I said, Wadja Want? The polite reply at the other end of the phone was, We have an original copy of the Ancient Marineau. Would you like to buy it? It was just what I was looking for as I enjoyed looking over PageQsj of rare volumes. I told them to hold it for me until I could get into town and draw a little Dow out of the bank. If this book had the Marks of an original volume it truly would be a bargain. By this time the rest of the household was up and I could hear Rachel, the cook, preparing the breakfast. When I went downstairs I en- tered the kitchen and was warmly greeted with a Court-man-es Charest, Ho ward you this Hne morning?', I'm fine thanks, but a little earlier I wasn't feeling so good. Iust then mother came in. Upon seeing her I said, Mar,tell Pappa,George went to Gou-let the cows out of the barn. No sooner had I spoken when La Bell rang and I went to the door. It was the Muhnan and he had three letters for me. When I opened the first one I found that it was read WGS son I-Iis from my Sargent at C. M. T. C. As I I learned that Rollfinsj out the Burelle still the most popular song at camp. The second letter was from that Harri- of Miller Iones over in the next county. biggest news was that Mad-Nick had gone on another rampage. He had Chasefdj the Shepard's 'sheep into the Reedfsj down by the pond. Some people said his Hart wasn't well and others said he acted that way 39 because he ate Corey Applesftonj. Every- body, he said, seemed to agree that it was Scandalis and Kotrotsios, the way he tramp- led the poor Cooley's Lupein patch down. He said in closing that it was Luckfurjy that they caught him while he Woz-n-i-ak of Manning his boat in trying to escape. The other letter was from Buxton, the Carpenter, who wrote that he was making a Keane out of Maple wood for me. He also said that he had just finished cleaning his barn and that by next Tuesday it will be spick and Spanfosj. He sure is a Handy- fsidej man around home. After eating my breakfast I went out to the barn, hitched up the horse, and start- ed for town in my one horse open Shea. THE CLASS'S PRIVATE ODE Oh, many were the happy hours We spent within these wallsg And many were the happy hours Spent in detention halls. Oh, many were the tests we had To try to pass or Hunkg And many were the spit-balls thrown- Enough to fill a trunk. Oh, and many's the laugh we had When teacher lost his book. And, oh, the times we mixed him up, And got an angry look. .And all the blue cards wer recieved- So many we signed ourselves. So many report cards not returned- Taken by little elves. And now with smiles instead of tears, Singing a merry song, The little man who wasn't there We bid the school so-long. 40 THE HONOR POLL You've been thinking about your class- mates for four years or more, now it's time we knew what some of them have been thinking about themselves. William Fitzgerald claims to he a good singer. Albert Alter plays a good game of ping-pong. Will that help Congress to balance the bud- get? Paul Maznek is a dreamer. Aren't we all? If you need a friend, Agnes McGrail, Iennie Lyskawka, Beatrice McKeon, and Charles Kotrotsios can get along with any- body. Want to be entertained? Ruth Card- arelli and Harold Page are wits. Frank Martell thinks he's pretty funny, too. If you ever need one, Nora Foley and Norma Corey are true-blue friends. Paula Dow is a Senior Life Saver, so she thinks she must be a good swimmer. Cecilia Ganley, Roger Labelle, and A. Kolinas are modest and shy. Maurice McQuillen is a master mind, so don't try to censor him. Margit Iohnson, Anna Iamrog, Irene Granz,Violet Kazanowska, Arlene Hartwell, and Herbert Dickey are content to trip the light fantastic. Leave the work for somebody else. Girls, Charles Coutmanes likes to dance. Pauline Poirier and Evelyn Howard just Hoat on the dance Hoof. Kenneth Clark, Daniel Cooley, and Earl Curtis are good boys when theyire not bad. When's that? Robert Merrill is honest and reliable- very likely to succeed in life. Virginia McLaughlin will succeed, too, in one way or another. Bernard Labore's specialty is singing. M. H. S. ORACLE Iohn O'Leary has idiosyncritical nature- whatever that is. We have three good citizens to offer to society: George Gerasi, Ianet MacFarlane, and Virginia Deschenes. If you're ever hungry, Evelyn Aldridge is a good cook. From New Hampshire come more fa-- mous orators: Leo Lacasse, May Madnick, Hariklia Iuris, and Helen Patryn. Arthur Blondin, Paul Godbout, and Robert Harrison are just all-around good fellows. Any buttons off? Aurore Proulx can sew.

IANUARY AClLAIA KENTUCKY DERBY-1960 Here wejare, folks, at Churchill Downs race track in Kentucky, the scene of the fifty- ieth runninglof the Kentucky Derby. The date is Marchl 10, 1960. Many notables from far and wide are gathered here today to witness the lnation's most popular horse race. At thid moment we are in the press box, with selveral famous newspaper men. Cornelius Keane, the country's leading hand- icapper is btlsy tapping away at his type- writer. Over: in the corner Arthur Smith, sports reporter for the Louisville Times, is chatting withl Chester Dziadzio, sports writer for the Newl York Sun. Sitting right next to us are Bertha Wexler, famous woman re- porter, and Bob Kelley, who operates one of the leading tip sheets. Now let's go over to the paddock land visit the horsemen. Here we find ownpr Angelo Scandalis conversing with trainer Richard Iackson. Mr. Scandalis owns Bambino, the favorite of the Derby, and RichardiIackson is his trainer. Iockey Eddie Moran will ride the favorite. Frank Wadja is sdpervising the saddling of his chestnut filly, My Alice, while Henry Thom- ashevski is 1 giving riding instructions to jockey Paul Maznek. Mr. Thomashevski has entered his three year old colt, El Chicken, in the Derbyl There are three others starting in the Derby ibesides those already mentioned. They are Hazel T., owned by Oren Stevens and ridden 1 by jockey Roland Anderson, Baby Face, oiwned by Wayne Snow and rid- den by jockey Albert Alter, and Rice Pud- ding, ownedl by Paul Shea and the jockey is Sonny Blohdin. The bugle has blown, sig- nifying that is time for the horses to parade onto the track and so we will hurry up to the clubhouse from which we will watch the race. The fifst familiar face we see here is that of Professor Thomas Manning, the fa- mous chemist, whose discoveries in the field of chemistryi have astounded the world. He is conversing with the owner of Churchill Downs, none other than Ioe Timmins. Down 43 in front, in the presidential box, sits the President of the U. S., Frank Martell, and the first lady, the former Marjorie Anderson. As we glance over the crowd we see William Fitzgerald, Metropolitan Opera star bari- tone, Robert Merrill, famous aviator, and lane Smith, Broadway's latest stage hit. Coming up the stairs now are lack Miller, the Texas oil magnate, and Harold Page, successor to the late Walt Disney. As we look out onto the track we see that the horses are lining up at the barrier. They will be off any minute now. And there they go! My Alice breaks fast under jockey Andrew Marks, in second place is Rice Pudding, and Bambino is third. Rounding the first turn it's still My Alice by a length, but Rice Pudding is right up close. Bambino is still third, Hazel T., is fourth, Baby Face is fifth, and El Chicken trails the field. Down the back stretch it's Rice Pudding now tak- ing the lead, Bambino is now second, and My Alice is tying in third place. Hazel T. is still fourth, El Chicken is fifth, and Baby Face now trails. Moving into the far turn, Rice Pudding is drawing away under jockey Sonny Blondin's whip. Bambino is still se- cond. Into the home stretch Bambino, the favorite, is now making his move, taking the lead away from Rice Pudding who is hanging on gallantly. With just a little way to go it looks like Bambino will be the winner. But there. comes El Chicken on the outside! Bambino and El Chicken are now neck and neck, nose and nose, as they near the Finish. Eddie Moran and Paul Maznek are each striving to get their mount under the wire first and there's the finish! El Chicken wins by a nose at the odds of 20 to 1. Bambino is second and Rice Pudding manages to come in third. We now notice a disturbance over on our right. Bob Harris- son and Dick Sargent are having a terrific ar- gument. It seems that together they bought one ticket on El Chicken, but during the excitement of the race, Harrison lost the 44 ticket and now Dick is telling him what he thinks of him. As we get around to leave we see Fred Smith, Walter Zekos, and Iohn Stewart weeping with joy and slapping each other on the back. Inquiring, we find they had chipped in and bought a two dollar ticket on the favorite, Bambino, fwhich, by the way, paid two dollars and twenty cents to showj. The Bearing of the Central 1940-B Grad- uating Class on Local and World Events Local stenographers and secretaries had better brush up on their shorthand and typ- ing, as Central's 1940-B class prepares to graduate. For included in this class are quite a number of excellent scrawlers and key pushers. There is likely to be a shortage of marriage licences also if all those who make this state of bliss their ambition have their hopes realized. Central's teachers must look well-fed and happy to the graduating seniors, judging from the number of students who are going to make this profession their lifetime work. The country is in for a new era in music if our musically.inclined schoolmates have their ambitions realized. The army and navy will also claim a few, but we sincerely hope that their ser- vices will not be needed. The newspapers of the day will have to make room for a few budding young edit- ors and writers, and we sincerely hope that their excellent work, which has often been seen in this publication, will meet with as much approval there. The country as a whole will benefit from the work done by a few of our number if their plans formulate. Here's to you fo- resters of the future! M. H. S.

Six years later, after continuous improvement on the airplane model, the P-M-22, an original un- dertaking of the late Kolinas-Theodore air- plane plant, which failed due to the constant quarreling of the owners over the love of the sensational journalist, May Madnick, the Hrst plane was ready to be tested. On the morning of the Sth of August, 1959, the ship M. H. S. ORACLE was rolled out of its hangar, under the watch- ful eye of Mr. Angelo Moukerezl, Held super- visor. One half hour later a crowd of 3,000 enthusiastically air-minded people were on hand, curious to see this much talked of airplane put through its paces. The test pilot who was assigned this task was Angelos Scandalis. Frank Martell and his band fur- nished the music for the occasion and-oh yes! there on the platform were the notables: the President, his wife, and the highest of army and navy officials were there, all, need- less to say, graduates of Central High, class of 40-B. The airplane was working perfectly un- der the careful guidance of the pilot. Sur- viving all the preliminary tests, it was ready for the crucial test known as the 9-G, nine times faster than gravity. A crash was in- evitable when the airship had passed the 2,000 foot mark. As the crowd gasped, horror-stricken, the ground crew, a Ere truck, and an ambulance rushed toward the jum- bled mass of steel. Although the test pilot was wearing a parachute made by the May- nard, Snow, and Pappageorge Company, he evidently had no chance to use it. When finally freed of this wreck, his mangled body was placed in the awaiting ambulance, in which he was whisked away to the Mc- Grail-Handyside hospital, by that superb driver, Buck Fosburgh. There he was placed under the care of the renowned surgeon, Dr. Kelley. The doctor demanded an imme- diate operation. After the anesthetic, pro- duced by the Manning Research Company had been administered, the nurses procured the different surgical instruments, of which Stewart brothers were the unexcelled manu- facturers. Through the medium of Edmund Stew- art, a new high in spirits at the Thomas- hevski plant was reached three weeks later. Due to the untiring calculations of this su- perior mathematician, the Haw in the plane was found and corrected. Three months I JANUARY AGLAIA later the reconstructed replica of the once hopeful was ready to be tested. As Angelo Scandalis had not yet sufliciently recovered, Robert Merrilli a fast rising figure in this field, was selectied for this job. After the ship's worthiness had' been proved, a large contract from the U. S. Army had been obtained by Mr. Ioseph Tirnmins, the efficient salesman of the Tomashevski works. This contract alone was endugh to enable the owner to retire for life,'if he had so wished, but he desired to keep hard at work, developing, improving, and benefiting the whole world by his exploits. ,1-il. Relations Between P. A. and C. A. Building At Breaking Point By the Central CHighQ Press Central High, Ianuary 1, 1940- An ultimatum was sent out today from Dictator Sonriy Farrell of the 1943 class to President Led Lacasse of the 1940-B class stating that he either put a stop to all op- pression and persecution of the freshmen minority by the seniors or face a possible civil war at Central High with the freshmen and sophomores opposing the juniors and seniors. Should hostilities break out, it would be 11 case of. the students in the Practical Arts Building pitted against those in the Classical Building, since the largest number of freshmen and sophomores are concentrated in the Practical Arts, or so called new build- ing . Iust where the Corey building will stand in the event of war is unknown, since large numbers of both underclassmen and upper- classmen arejquartered there. Dictator Dick Sargent of the Corey building has pledged himself to remain strictly neutral. g 47 Telephone Communication Between the P. A. and C. A. Building Mysteriously Inter- rupted Central High, Ianuary 2,- Another chapter in the war of nerves was added today when communication between the two buildings was interrupted for one half hour. Such observers as Reginald Court- emanche, Evelyn Aldridge, and Virginia Deschenes were today on record as saying that this interruption was an indication that the zero hour was rapidly approaching. Denials were forthcoming soon after from Adrian Petrin, Harry Theodossopoulos, and Frank Pleban, our observers in the P. A. Building, that the suspension of the telephone service between the two buildings was an indication of an approaching zero hour here. They alleged that Helen Patryn, the switch- board operator, was busy talking to a friend on the telephone and neglected her duty at the board. She has been sent to concentration camp No. 04. C. A. Building Declares War on P. A. Build- ing, Corey Building Neutral Central High, Ianuary 3, fcensored by the Senior B Governmentj- War was formally declared today against the freshmen by President Leo Lacasse fol- lowing an all night conference fat the How- ard Iohnson standj with vice-president Helen Eluto, treasurer Edwin Thurston, secretary Gloria Handyside, and such high ranking cabinet officials as Ioe Timmins, Edward Moran, Rogers Blood, and Charles Kotrotsios. Dictator Sargent of the Corey building together with his advisers: Iohn Stewart, Angelo Scandalis, Roger Labelle, Chester Dziadzio, and Roland Anderson, decided to remain neutral and clamped down an arms embargo. Definite assurance that the arms embar- go would be soon lifted were given by Senat- or Iames Windbag Spanos. From the tons 48 , of broken razor blades contributed by Ange- lo Bombino Scandalis hundreds of cap guns and water pistols are being made daily. Corey Building Flooded with Propaganda Central High, Ianuary 4- Hundreds of members constituting the minis- try of propaganda on the third Hoor of the P. A. building were banging away today at their typewriters making hundreds of letters with which they hope to sway the sympathy of the neutral Corey building toward the P. A. building. The new members of the propaganda department consist of Agnes Mc- Grail, Genevieve Szot, Alfreda Maple, Edith Leslie, May Madnick, Louise Lupien, Iennie Lypkawka, Despo Lioumparis, Fannie Liak- os, Margaret Wilkins, Sophie Wydra, Flor- ence Marineau, Marian Ingleson, Beatrice McKeon, and Ann Katsikas. Neutral observers feel that which ever side gets the Corey building to cooperate with it will win the war. War materials cannot be shipped to either of the belligerents from the Corey building, but it is generally felt that the arms embargo will soon be lifted. In an effort to counteract the propagan- da Howing from the P. A. building, members of the staff of the Hi-Lights and the Oracle joined with the new propaganda bureau in printing written pamphalets and magazines urging the Corey building to come over to their side. M. H. S. ORACLE Battle Rages On Campus Central High, Ianuary 5- Fierce fighting continued on the campus when an offensive drive by the classicalites was repelled by a snow ball barrage led by generals Ioe Keane and Iohn Stewart. Blackouts Reported in Tunnel Daily blackouts in the tunnel have been reported by Antonio Betty, Reginald Court- emanche, Roland Duhaime, Marshall Gifford, and Lydia Moniz. Believed responsible for them are Iohn Henry Miller, Roland Ander- son, and Kenneth Clark. Air raid warnings were sounded today sending the entire population of the Classical building to the bomb proof shelters. One false alarm was believed to have occurred when a freshman accidently leaned on the Hre alarm button. War Endsg Peace Treaty Signed Central High, Ianuary 26- War between the upperclassmen and the freshmen ended today as suddenly as it start- ed. Reconstruction measures were begun to repair the damage done in the war. All one hundred and Hfty senior B's who took part in the war will be exiled beginning tomorrow with the exception of senior B's who will promise to settle down and take post-graduate courses.

As a worker, few can compare with his in- genuity and his conscientious labor. His sound advice, coupled with his vast knowledge of student life and backed up by long years of experience, has proved more than once invaluable, not only to the bright- est students of Central, but to those who find their studies difficult and seek out his friendly counsel. His great love for students compels him to accept, without a murmur, student pleas for advisory aid which is required for mainten- ance of all school activities. Little recognition does he receive except in the silent adoration of the students. His great love for sports and out-door life has added greatly to his amazing vitality and his cheerful countenance has compelled even the most bashful to share their prob- lems with him. Year after year he gives his valuable time as adviser to many school organizations, and his efforts to make the students happy, even to the point of sacrificing long sunny afternoons and evenings when he might well be pursuing the pleasure of his many hobbies, have made him admired and loved by all. 45 fu R 2 g i LUCILLE LAMONTAGN E l'eachers may come and go at Manches- ter Central, but in the eyes of the students, there is none more loved and admired than Mr. Louis Thomas. R. li. WHAT DO YOU DO? lust at this point in the present crisis, the American people seem to agree pretty much about the advantages of neutrality. The most important thing, it is agreed, is our keeping out of war. But is it necessary in keeping our neutrality, in keeping ourselves away from hysteria and emotionalism, and in discarding anything that suggests propagan- da, to forget all patriotism? One thing that we always owe to the country we are privi- liged to live in is respect to its Hag. At the recent Armistice Day parade it was startling to see the hats remained stolidly on heads, while the colors, a stirring sight at any time, were being carried by. In contrast to this indifference were the few men who quietly removed their hats and placed them over their hearts. How many of us know even one verse of The Star Spangled Banner and how many of us know what becomes of a worn out Hag? Should it be thrown away because it has outlived its usefulness? All Scouts, both boys and girls, learn as part of their tenderfoot test that a worn out flag 52 should be burned, dying in as much brilliance and glory as it lived. So in our anxiety to keep out of war let's not forget the Hag which is a symbol of a country strong enough to keep us at peace. E. D. ARE YOU INTERESTED? In this day of radios and moving pic- tures there seems to be little use for conver- sation as a form of entertainment, which gives people with creative talent a chance to express themselves. Doesn't it seem too bad that such a worth while, educational recreation should fall by the wayside? Many high school students never think of speaking good English outside of their English classes because of a lack of interest. Can it be possible that our red-blooded young Americans are only interested in sports or the passive recreation afforded by the movies and the radio? john Kieran Qknown to the general public for the part he takes in the popular radio program Information Pleasenj says, I remember what I'm interested in, everybody does.', Speaking good, correct English in the form of lively conversation is far from dull. Why are so few giving it any attention? This same lack of interest is carried over into the subject matter. Most of us can talk intelligently on only a very few subjects, and then our conversation ceases to be intelligent after an embarrasingly short time. This is well shown by the great dislike most pupils hold for oral topics. Such an assignment should be the cue for the enthusiastic pupil M. H. S. ORACLE to come to the fore, and tell his classmates of the wonderful things he has discovered for himself. If he is really interested in his subject, he will be able to talk entertainingly on it for an extended period of time. This does not mean that it is necessary to be an Einstein to converse on a subject, but that you know enough about what is going on to be able to express a well-founded opinion, and to back it up, for good conver- sation is not prearranged or formal, it is generally upon indifferent matters, and it is always participated in by all of a company, says Henry W. Taft. Some of the most common errors in conversation are pointed out by Ionathan Swift. One person talks too much, not giving the others a chance to talk-the obvious happens-those listening become bored with the monologue. The most uninteresting people to talk to are those who continually talk of themselves, and use themselves for examples. Another burden to society is the man who tries to be witty, but who just doesn't succeed. Above all, listen to the other fellow, don't be impatient to interrupt him- he probably has something to say that would be of the utmost interest to you. If you con- centrate on what you want to say yourself while others are talking, don't expect others to listen to you in turn. Let's bring outside ideas into school for the enjoyment of our classmates and of our teachers as well as ourselves. Finally, let's try to talk intelligently, and show courtesy to others who are trying to do so. E. F. 1 1 l s 1 tl rr.. FOIOTBALL With buttons still popping off their coats, and with their hoarse voices brought to a near croak from frenzied cheering in the stands, the loyal Central football rooters re- laxed after a most sucessful season to make the New Year's resolution that in 1940-the Little Green eleven would conclude another season as successful as the one this year. With but one defeat marring an other- wise undefeated season and with the State Championship safely tucked away, the Cen- tral gridsters ended their season in a blaze of glory as they established their football supremacy by humbling the Haverhill eleven 19-0 in the annual Turkey Day Classic. Only the 16-0 defeat by Brockton's powerful team kept us from winning the New England Championship. With the conclusion of the season many honors were bestowed upon our stalwart grid warriors. As usual Central dominated the All-State football team by placing Tim Keane, Buck Fosburgh, Frank Piecuch, Walter Zekos, Bill Carrignan, and Paul Bureau on the first squad. Paul being cap- tain of last year's second All-State team re- peated this honor by being mentor for this year's mythical All-State first eleven. Chick Tomashevski, Mike Sosnowski, Bob Chabot, Greg Matrikas, and George Pappageorge, as members of the second All- State team, also gained much honor. Teddy Makris, Bill Brooks, and lim Arnoutis being on the third team made Centralls total on the three squads quite imposing. With Bullet Bill Carrignan as successor to Paul Bureau as captain for the 1940 squad all indications point to another successful season. Those to receive letters were Piecuch, Brooks, Keane, Pappageorge, Sosnowski, Fos- burgh, Arnoutis, Perry, Zekos, Matrikas, Makris, Carrignan, Bureau, Chabot, Harrison, Bobotas, Plentzas, Bernier, Themasheski, Fosher, St. Mg. Frank Manning, Kane, Morrissey, Theodore, and Bartasevitch. RIFLE TEAM 54 The final results of the season were as follows: Central 13-Keene 0 Central 41-St. Iames 0 Central 21-Nashua 0 Central 7-Lowell 0 Central 7-Everett 0 Central 18-Concord 0 Central 14-Curtis 0 Central 0-Brockton 16 Central 21-West 0 Central 21-Portsmouth 6 Central 19-Haverhill, 0 Great praise should be given not only to the players but to Coach McDonough and line coach Andy Dominick for their Fine work in molding a victorious football team, one of the greatest in Central history. CROSS COUNTRY Unless something is done immediately the city will have to build a new annex on our school library to make room for the steady inflow of athletic cups. State champ- ions for the second year in succession, the Central cross country team, by virtue of their victory in the State Championship, gained a firm hold on the cup, needing only one more victory to obtain permanent possession of it. George Pinard, newly elected captain of the 1940 squad, and retiring captain Bruce Barndollar received letters. Also receiving letters were Bill Beaudet, Emile Gadzaka, Bob Yarma, Eugene Prentice, Lucien Iutras, and St. Mgr. Armand Roy. BASKETBALL VVith Ezekiel I. Grippe confining Capt. Ioe Plentzas to his room the greatly weak- ened little green hoopsters suffered a 24-21 set back at Concord in their initial game of the season. Facing a difficult twenty-one game schedule, Coach Bronstein is spending most of his time with the varsity, but the develop- ment of a junior varsity for preliminary M. H. S. ORACLE games is also taking much of his attention. Those on this year's team are Capt. Ioe Plentzas, Soc Bobotas, Frank Piecuch, Greg Matrikas, Bill Carrignan, Bob Chabot, Bob Heath, Ed Purdie, Bruce Barndollar, Ed Bas- quil, Fred Smith, and Porky Lemos.

Ioint arrangements with the Beta Chap- ter of the Hi-Y for ushering at graduation were also completed. The club through their work on the school booklet which will appear sometime in the spring, and through their pre-holiday dance for the maintenance of the minor sports, have received the united praise of the school. Their full support of the football team by means of sponsoring buses to out-of-town games and by supervis- ing mass student parades to the home games has done much to instill in the school a strong spirit of student cooperation. Mr. Thomas together with president Dick VVinterton, Vice President Winston Rosborough, Secretary Paul Shea, and Treas- urer Bob Sullivan have been vital factors in the completion of a very successful season. Hi-Y BETA CHAPTER ln addition to learning about Parlia- mentary procedure, the chapter, under the supervision of Larry Goss, is planning a program which will interest all. Members are working very diligently to form a Tri-Y. QWe can believe thatlj Here are the officers: president, Albert Morse, vice president, Dick Sargent, treas- urer, Kenneth Clark, and secretary, Roscoe Irving. LE PETIT SALON At the meeting on the 28th of November, the members of the Le Petit Salon were in- troduced to a painless fguaranteed, money- back-if-not-satisliedJ method of learning French geography. This praiseworthy dis- covery was a geography game, played after the business of the club had been discussed. French songs were sung, and refreshments were served by Constance Ainley, the host- ess. On December 19 the members of the club visited a French peasant's home at Christmas by means of a play, Adieu Pere Fouellard, presented by a few of the older members. The girls exchanged gifts and sang French carols. On lanuary 23rd the new members proved that they too could also entertain the club. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club played San- ta Claus to a needy family last Christmas. Working diligently for weeks, the girls out- fitted the whole family. Supervising the daily sewing circle was Miss Patterson, the club's adviser. AQUILA ROMANA People roaming the halls around the seventh of December with distracted, preoc- cupied expressions on their countenances were probably Aquila Romana subscribers who were trying to solve some of the various 56 puzzles which were a popular feature of this successful magazine. This year the excellent guest editorial written by Iohn R. McLane prominent lawyer, the parody on the opening lines of Virgil's Aeneidg the Hrst installment of a Latin version of Walt Disney's version of Pinnochiog several humorous poems, and a personal column contributed to make the is- sue so successful that the staff, swelling with ipride, announced all copies hats been sold. On the proud staff are Herbert Packer, Tom Quirk, Sally Estfan, Helen Batten, Betty Ainsworth, Dorothy E. Brooks, Rachel Heft- erman, and Thornton Edwards. LIBRARY Congratulations to Ethel Grodzins and Iimmy Ypsilantis, who tied for first prize in the Book Contest, and to Irene Adamis who received second prize. For their efforts, the winners were awarded books. Calling all Centralites-three hundred new books are coming into the library. Line forms on the right! Miss Derr's additional helpers are Eleanor Kimball and Irene Adamis. CHORUS ' Heralding another Gilbert and Sullivan operettal Aided by the combined forces of Mr. MacAllaster and the orchestra, the Art De- partment, Miss Peggy Kemper, Miss Nettle- ton, and the thirty eight chorus leaders, this year's production, Iolanthe, promises not to disappoint Central's loyal Gilbert and Sul- livan fans faren't we all?j So, hurry, hurry, hurry to the Practical Arts box-office and get your tickets for either the Ianuary 31 or the February 2 performance. GLEE CLUB We'll Sing Out The News in this one. In the crowd at the Practical Arts auditorium on December 12 to see Conrad Thibeault, whose appearance was sponsored by the Civic M. H. S. ORACLE Music Association, were members of the Glee Club who had been given tickets by Mr. Fisher. On December 13 tryouts for the All- State chorus were held. The chosen group will represent Central at Laconia in May. MASKERS An author has been discovered! Mary McKeon's play, Christmas Cheer, was pre- sented by the Maskers on Wednesday, Dec- ember 20. In order that all the classes might enjoy the play, the presentation was made at two performances. Underneath the mask of their parts, your roving reporter was able to discern a group bearing a curious resem- blance to some of your friends such as Mar- celle Parker, Sally Plant, Albert Morse, Mary Robinson, Ioan Verrette, Evelyn Howard, Muriel Carmen, Herbert Packer, Margaret Iohnston, Crist Tellou, Arthur Danforth, Paul Shea, and Dave Danielson. RADIO CLUB The members of the Radio Club Find their two radios, oscillator, and that certain air of mystery, invaluable aids in learning code, with the guiding hand of Mr. Sargent doing the sending. The members have visited stations W. F. E. A. and will visit Smythe Tower, where short wave sets have been installed for the benefit of Manchester amateurs. A few of the Central hams are awaiting their radio licenses. The choice of the boys for office are president, Maurice McQuilleng vice president, Thomas Plant, secretary, Richard Herron, treasurer, Gordon Bennett. THE DISCUSSION CLUB The discussion Club plans to hold an as- sembly soon. Because of increased attendance, the club has had to move into Room 27 where they meet every Thursday. Heated IANUARY AGLAIA discussions have been held on subjects such as Should youth be allowed to vote at eighteen?,' The Lady or the Tiger? Is Swing better than Classical music? This sounds good, no foolin'. Students! Run, do not walk, to the next meeting of the Dis- cussion Club, tell them you read about it in the Log, and, ifiyou can still get in, proceed to enjoy the fun. In charge of the meetings you'll find: Moderator, -Richard Gilman, assistant moderator, Maurice McQuilleng secretary, Marilyn Duttonj treasurer, Edith Fisher, and Mr. Freedman is doing a fine job of advising. iART CLUB The artists in our midst came to the fore- ground and concentrated their talents on a 1940 calendar. The Art Club diligently plan- ned the printing of five hundred or more calendars. About sixteen students under Mr. Ryder's supervision, worked on the calendar, each page of which is an original design of some art student drawn free hand. At the top of each page is a picture representing New Hampshire life corresponding to the month below. The artists put their heads Qand pencilsj tpgether and devised a clever cover which shows some of the main pastimes celebrated in New Hampshire. The officers of the club are president, Robert Brown, vice president, Majorie Gust- afson, secretary, Tony Kowalewskig treasurer, Terrence Mahoney, chairman of calendar pro- ject, Virginia McLaughlin. HI-LIGHTS We, the students, speak! At least, the Hi-Lights thinks We should, so it ran a con- test to give us an opportunity to voice our opinions on that paper. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Thomas the paper is trying to interest all students. The Hi-Lights feels confident that 'at the end of this, its most successful year, it will be able to aid in the production of school booklets. 57 The Centralites on the staff are Maurice McQuillen, Adrien Petrin, William Brooks, Dick Sargent, Edmund Stewart, Edward Gile, Margaret Iohnston, Paul Shea, Robert Ledoux, Mary Greener, Sally Plant, Roland Lavoie, Barbara Hall, Dorothy Worcester, Enid Pepin, Sarah Wexler, Sophie Folis, Tom Quirk, Ruth Cardarelli, Rosemary Bry- den, Helen Rzeznihiewicz, Dolly Cambas, Rachel Hefterman, Mary Maltezos, and Patricia Shanahan. U f ORCHESTRA The violinists in Central's upperclass orchestra are using a lot of rosin lately. The trombone players are lumbering up their arms, too! They, and the rest of Central's famous orchestra, are preparing for their an- nual presentation of a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta and their choice promises to be one of the best productions ever put on. We'll see you there! BAND Have you by any chance noticed the smell of moth balls and camphor over by the band room lately? And perhaps you may also have noticed several members of the band with downcast eyes and minus their familiar green sweaters with the white emblems. Yet the smell of camphor and the disappearance of the sweaters means just one thing. The band players have handed in their uniforms. No more this season shall we hear their inspiring music or watch their intricate marching formations. No more rehearsals will be held until later-for Mr. McAllaster wishes to devote all his musical genius to the forthcoming operetta. Many familiar faces will be missed next fall as graduation takes its yearly toll. Arthur Appleton, Frank Martell, Earl Curtis, Paul Shea, and Roger Labelle will be among those missing. H6 FEATURE ' 4cX f i Q 'f :f Q i I 1I Zf IN TRIBUTE Green eleven, he has contributed to the glory ln every graduating class certain indivi- duals, through ability and leadership, make themselves outstanding. Through scholastic and extra-curricular activities, these indivi- duals undertake difficult school tasks which, when successfully accomplished, bring fame and honor to our school. Like other classes, the 194013 class has its share of outstanding individuals who have contributed much to the welfare of our institution. To bestow up- on these students the praise which they so richly deserve we publish a short summary of the ten most outstanding seniors of the 19403 class as deemed most worthy by the class officers and the class adviser. For their outstanding work we, the Oracle staff, to- gether with the rest of the school, unite to express at this time our most sincere praise and thanks to- Maurice Leo McQuillen for his outstand- ing work in the field of school writing. As editor of the Hi-Lights and as Knocks chief of the Oracle, he has done much to develop the true spirit of our school. Being the chairman of many Hi-Y committees for the promotion of school spirit at Central, he has worked incessantly to make M. H. S. a big part of every student's life. :lk if if if Iohn Stewart, one of the greatest athletes ever to graduate from our school. As captain of the basketball team and as star first base- man on the Central nine he has done much to arouse an enthusiastic student interest in Central athletics. As an All-State football player and as a triple threat on the Little and prestige our school has gained through effective victories on the gridiron. if ill ik ll' Christhanthe Thamsparley for being an honor student at Central and for her con- scientious work in the library. She has done much to receive the praise of the faculty as well as her classmates for her willingness to aid the students in their search for books. ill ll! 8 ill Virginia Deschenes, a true scholar and diligent worker. As an easy master of history and languages and as the assistant director of the Senior Play, she has commanded the respect of her classmates as well as her teachers. Le Courrier readers have enjoyed her clever as well as accurate French reports. if ll Ill Ili Virginia McLaughlin for her inspiring work in the field of high school art as a mem- ber of the Art Club and as chairman for the Art Club calendar. Her excellent draw- ings in the Oracle and her cooperation in the painting of the operetta back drop have ad- ded to her fame. Il' il 'll if Harold Page as a fine master of the brush. His work as a member of the Art Club and as the cartoonist for the Hi-Lights have added much to his school-wide fame as an artist. Working on the Art Club calendar, illustrating for the Oracle, and drawing for the Freshman booklet are a few of the many things that he has done in art work. 60 Richard Sargent for his outstanding abil- ity on the cinder path. As a varsity member of Central's track and cross country squads and as a holder of eight high school records, he has built a polite respect in the other schools of the state for the ability of our track teams. Besides the above, mentioned, he has, as a cheerleader and as an active member of the Beta Chapter of the I-Ii-Y, done much for the student support of our successful football team. iii! Paul Shea, an accomplished actor and a popular student. His life-like characteriza- tion in many Maskers' plays and his out- standing performance in the Senior play have brought to him the admiration of the en- tire school. His sincere efforts to help the Alpha Chapter of the Hi-Y have made him respected by all. if 'F if if Edmund Stewart for his great work in promoting school spirit at Central. As chair- man of the bus committee he worked dili- M. H. S. ORACLE gently to provide transportation for the stu- dents who wished to attend out-of-town foot- ball games. His work on two Hi-Y dance committees to raise money for the minor sports helped to maintain these sports for the duration of the year. fl Il Il 1 Without question the most outstanding student in the 1940B class is Rogers Blood, winner of the Rotary Cup which is awarded annually to the best all-around senior. In his extensive activities about the school he has displayed rare qualities as a leader, scholar, organizer, athlete, and all-around good fellow. He has served as president of the Hi-Y Alpha Chapter, president of the Maskers, editor-in-chief of the Oracle, moder- ator of the Discussion Club, and has been a member of both the tennis and ski teams. Many not included in this list have worked hard these four years, but it is felt that those chosen are without doubt the most outstanding seniors to graduate. 7 .ro You By POLLY READ You come to me when dusky skies Enclasp the world with night, When darkness comes and daytime dies Till morning's early light. You come to me when briny tears Make dim these eyes once bright, You comfort me from lonely fears Alurking in the night. You come to me when my sad heart Needs you to bring me cheer, With me you play a major part I always want you near. Graduation time has rolled around a- gain and there'll be many an idle hour be- tween now and lunc that you may spend catching up on those best sellers you intend- ed to read but never have. For instance, any feminine reader will surely enjoy Maud by Richard Lee Strout which Elouise I-loitt tells us is a tender, heart-touching story. The masculine trend seems to be more toward the seamy side of fiction: mystery and thrills reigning supreme, with the mys- tery books heading the list. Doing the hon- ors are a variety of authors. Since we'rc on the subject of authors, if you happen to want good mystery writing look up Rex Stout, S. S. Van Dine, or Leslie Ford, who writes a very enjoyable mystery story. Dick O'Neil, commenting on short stories, said that he enjoys this type of story better than full length novels. Dick will surely enjoy Edward O'Briens' 50 Best Amer- ican Short Stories. Mr. O'Brien has been pub- lishing them for a number of years and the collections are getting increasingly better as the years go by. For sparkling humor we recommend a visit with Carl Crow's Four Hundred Mil- lion Customers. A former correspondent of the United Press, Mr. Crow knows how to appeal to the reader. Any one who has heard Bertha Damon speak at the Book Fair will know why we also recommend her Grandmother Called It Carnal for your read- ing list. lfllll Qsolwln Basketball Captain Ioe Plentzas picks The Cruise of the Raider Wolf as his selec- tion for all-around reading. Another of our versatile captains, Ray Bowles, recommends for those interested in skiing, an excellent instrruction book, Learn to Ski! by Hermann Bautzmann. Elihu Yale, by Herman Bingham, is the absorbing biography of the founder of Yale University--Those of you who thrilled to Escape will enjoy Across the Dark River by Peter Mendelssohn, the moving and tragic story of a group of refugees turned adrift in the storm that has burst over Europe. Ahoy, crossword puzzle fans! Crossword Puzzles galore in the new book of puzzles just pub- lished by Simon and Schuster of New York -1At last! The book of the century! The work that all America has been waiting for. Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln, The War Years. This book supplements Mr. Sand- burg's Abraham Lincoln, The Prairie Years. This work constitutes the definitive book on The Great American-Calling Lloyd C. Douglas fans. If you liked Green Light, if you were enthusiastic about Disputed Pas- sage, you'll be raving about the latest of his books, Doctor Hudson's Secret Iournal. I wonder how many of us have read books for our own pleasure that are usually given as class assignments? Try Shakespeare a little more often, and youlll realize that there is a purpose behind these assignments -appreciation of good literature. WWW 'VINE The Proctor Review from Utica, New York, comes through with flying colors, esf pecially in its advice to the students on timely topics. They say a word to the wise is sutlicient-so take heed and absorb these suggestions on what to do when that dreaded test day rolls around. To quote: Try the emergency exercises. Stretch your neck backward, foward, left, and right. At first you may feel stiff, but you'll be de- lighted at how much this exercise will help you get the answers from your neighborls paper. The Day by Day at P. H. S. column must be commended on its originality. We quote:- Seniors decide that school is equip- ped for studying, but so is an ocean liner decked with life boats. In either case to be used only in case of emergency. We admired the intimate tone of the biographies of the Who's who section. I like an examination, I think they're fun. I never cram- And I won't Hunk one. I'm the teacher! This excerpt, taken from the Pine Echo of I-Ieilwood, Pennsylvania, a magazine well worth reading, has an abundance of school news and interesting articles. With an old, haunted house on the cover, Impressions, from Central High School in Scranton, Pennsylvania, contains The Marked Skull, Woes of Witchcraft, Haunted, Twen- tieth Century Voodooisn, all giving you that creepy Ieeling ol! shivers up and down your spine. Very appropriate we'd say for the issue of the month ol October when ghosts and goblins hold their sway. An idea from The Kalends of Delahi, New York. which we wish the 'Oracle would adopt is the Good Citizen's Column. Two prominent lnembers ol the Senior class were chosen in the October issue and their interests and peculiarities noted. This interview has the personal touch which students seem to appreciate so much. Of special interest to Centralites should he the Bates Student from Bates College in Lewiston since several former Manchester stu- dents were named as its reporters. Also of interest is the lact that Mr. lienezet of Dart- mouth College, former Superintendent of Schools in Manchester, was slated to speak to a women's association at Bates. Vote one, vote all for the senior beauty contest to be staged in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The qualifications are listed in the San Migul News from St. Michaels College. They are very simple, all one has to do is to accompany each vote by his bona lide signature. 5 ef .. l i 5: i 1- W i sf-0 y a 1.A,l ,, 1 .H . p, .,.., ,ig . .r nr . . . . f THE THREE LITTLE GREEN DIGGERS VVho were the capitalists who took it upon themselves to go to the Haverhill game in a taxi? They had some ride, but it won't even begin to compare with the ride which certain students are due to receive in this column. For the want of something better to do a few days ago, we stole softly out of the Oracle ofhce and down to the Knock's box outside Room 4. Peering into the box through the slit in the top we realized that it was completely Filled with material-but alas it was all locked in. A search party was organized to hunt for the key, old timers at the school were queried, but they merely shook their heads and smilingly said, 'LWC-ve heard tell of such a key, but it disappeared long before our timef, Vainly We tried to pick the lock with a hairpin. The he-men on the staff tried to break the lock with their bare hands but it was all to no avail until we called in Ioe Maynard of Maynard and McPherson flying squadron who opened it in a twinkle of an eye. We promise you that if you are brave and push Mr. Lamprey aside while you drop some humor in the Knocks Box we'll open it regularly and use as much of it as we can. Mind you now, this box is intended only to be Filled with humor by you students. If you'll but read on youlll see why We stress this point. yirqmm Mu.avgl-.lm Y Many of the student body have a mis- conception of what the Knocks Box is for, as evidenced by the following. A certain frosh when told to drop an absent report slip in the box in the classical oHice by his teacher, went self-consciously up to the Knocks Box and dropped it in. Around election time this fall certain over-enthusiastic students who are apparently destined to become politicians, thought that the Knocks Box was a ballot box and imme- diately began to stulf it with votes. Incident- ly, Herbert Packer won by a land slide. Won what? That's what we would like to know. This one tops them all. Some one thought the Knocks Box Was either a gum machine or jack pot, for he dropped a penny 111. Mr. Knocks Box asks that the humorous poems, all the iokes, clever sayings, and such be dropped in more often. FlashfMr. Whitteiimore, chem teacher de luxe, told our auburn haired colleague that he would give her a ten percent higher mark it she would but write something funny about him in the Oracle. She must have taken him seriously for she submitted no less than six iokes about him for publication which are now reposing in the waste-paper basket and are soon to be cremated at the city incinerator. 64 To remind the upperclassmen of their manners we reprint this old timer. Freshmen: I beg your pardon, but I didn't hear the question. Will you please repeat it? Sophomore: Please repeat the question. Iunior: What's that? Senior: Huh? P. G. Smiles and nods his head. Mr. Whittemore was showing one day how well opposites combined. He illustrated by showing how blondes and brunettes got along. What about red heads?-Oh, they can take care of themselves. fPlease note, stu- dents, that this was written by Midge, our red head columnist,j By the by, are you acquainted with the rah, rah boys? Ask any senior B member after singing, and no doubt you'll be intro- duced. But don't say we didnlt warn you. So great is their love for the sport that certain ex-football players using a tin can for a ball, play after school behind the Prac- tical Arts Building and in Hanover common. Doubt it, do you? Well, pictures don't lie. Reminiscing the other day in class, Mr. Lamprey told of the time a certain sopho- more, later an All State, went trotting up to Mr. Snelling and demanded a football suit. At Franklin we overheard the following as Francis Lockinvar Manning decided to give the Franklin lasses a break. Francis: fsoftly, to one fair blondej I remember one time in particular when I ran down the Held 48 yards without even a hand being laid on me. Cute Blonde: Ceying his big MHP Oh, my herol M. I-I. S.

Attention War Resource Bureau-If it ever happens here you can depend upon the Ioe Maynard-Roger McPherson flying squadron to warn the citizens of an impend- ing air raid. Down towners will vouch for this: they witnessed a preview on Elm Street recently. Would you believe that any other Centralite's face could get as red as Walter Zekos'? Well, Leo Elias equalled him on at least one occasion after the Maskers' Christmas play. Leo Elias forgot that the play was to be given again in the afternoon for the freshmen and during his recess period he began to dismantle the scenery. When the Maskers hurried in for the freshmen assembly a near riot occurred. Miss Dwyer: fto gym studentsj Step one foot from the wall and divide yourselves in two. Perhaps she should have said: Step one foot from the wall and divide in groups of two. Ioe Timmins doesn't know why you can't place a bookmark between pages 25-26 in the Oracle.

My feet are long, my shoes are tens- My laugh sounds not unlike a hen's. My hands are just the size of hamsg My ears are just the same as yams.

MAURICE MCQUILLEN FA Hl0!l! !l!lll'E GRADUATION BOUND Now that the Parade of Fashion is in full swing and graduation is just around the corner, the stores have a wide variation of styles at your disposal. Iust in case the flus- tered and excited graduate is in doubt, we have rushed to her aid information about the latest fads and places to find them. Melbury's evening clothes are certainly tops. What can please a girl more than to look her best at her own Senior Reception? Here is a dress that would rate high on any- 0ne's list: a Paris creation, no less, with a tight fitting bodice of silver metallic cloth over a swirling skirt with layers and layers of pastel shades of net. It could easily be called a rainbow skirt. Cinderella can be sure of her conquest of Prince Charming in this gown! Maybe you would rather leave your fairy tales behind and be a second Scarlet O'I-lara. Red would be the color, of course! Wear a gown that will attract attention, something that looks as though it had just left the stage. A new idea-wear your bracelets above your elbows, not below. Try new effects, but be sure you're not too extreme. For sing-out and the long-to-be remem- bered banquet, vapor colors in light weight wools and Hannels are very popular this year and would make any girl supremely confident that her appearance was up-to-the- minute. Three quarter length sleeves either loose or tight are very much in vogue. Short full skirts are still in supply and in de- mand. Leavitt's offers a grand selection with a variety of colors and styles. Graduation and birthdays! Gifts-gifts and more gifts! They are great problems for friends and relatives. But when you're at that whirlwind week-end of skiing and skating you'll be pleased with that smart slate-blue garbadine ski suit piped with scarlet from Pariseau's that Dad gave you. After tumbles and spills which put you in many awkward positions, the crowd will return to the house. Iack Frost will have nipped your nose and toes, yet you'll be as snug as a bug in a rug sitting near the fire in your red flannel shirt. The girls will like it, too, wait and see! Fireman red is the color this winter, and not only is the color perfect but so is the style. It is a copy of the regular fire- man's shirt and made of the softest yet warm- est Hannel you can imagine. Have you seen the latest in ear muffs? fThose of you who dislike wearing hats will be very interested, so sit up and take notice!! All they consist of is a thin strap of angora with little round muffs neatly spaced! They ht snugly and are worn tied under the chin. Now you can be comfortable and warm all in one, thanks to another new fad! Shoes have always been a great problem to many, but we are happy to say your worries are over. Low heels are in definitely. And suede is going out! Slowly but surely alligator and kid are replacing the once ex- tremely fashionable suede. Dodge's offer all these. We now want to wish you all a very happy and fashionable graduation!
