Thr«r reprMrntivM of lh( Monitor Board. Harold Ro«rtli, Wallace Webb. John (ifidrr. Zclla I’nrkan . Ilnrlcy Miller. Jeanne Murphy, and l.uman Rodman, look a» If they took their work aeriously. SWALLOW YOUR GUM By Bennie Benson The GROUP OF CAPABLE LOOKING PEOPLE pictured above are by no means the “meanies” of Central. Their aim in life from sunrise (or rather early in the morning) until four-thirty P. M. every school day is to keep “we, the people” as quiet and as orderly as possible. They work on the modern “credit” basis: two points per semester, or thereabout. As yet, Central's monitor board has not developed a secret code or sign language, but it takes less than a minute to scrawl a violation ticket that will invariably land you in the student court. In the court of justice the cop confirms his slip and listens to the proceedings with the arm of the rules on bis side. These picturesque denizens of the halls airily command you (with numb hands) to remove your overshoes immediately upon entering the building. They ask you to stand outside in the sunshine and absorb vitamin I) until the first bell. They do not hold with the advert izers of Wriglcy’s products. They whip out their pads upon detecting the slightest straining of the vocal chords. W histling is out. It is their contention that walking is more dignified than running. They are definitely patrollers in every sense of the word. Seriously, though, a reasonably quiet, clean, and orderly pedagogical institution makes for better scholarship, and, after all, part of our education is knowing how to behave. Carl Gruhn, founder of the organization in Central, lends his help and suggestions when they are needed or requested. Chief Monitor Bobbin Stevens was assisted by Jeanne Murphy and a force of 20 monitors.

Clerk Thiel look amu»ed. Judge DeVey scared, and Jurors Calene. Barber, and Smith slightly bored ax the culprit mixes hix right hand ar.d swears to tell the truth. TELL THE TRUTH, BROTHER By If' a Id on Thiel 8 IIIK SHAME-FACED DEFEiNDAN I' shuffles into the court room he is greeted with: “Step forward and raise your right hand , boomed out in a baritone voice of the presiding justice. After the defendent has been sworn in, he is tried by a procedure much like that which is used in our municipal and state courts today. Students are called before this court for any infraction of a set of rules enforced daily in the halls by Central’s policemen, the monitors, and deemed necessary by the administration. Every Tuesday and Thursday it is part of the routine of the court personnel to pull their tousled heads from beneath the sheets and at an unthinkable hour wend their weary way to court to mete out punishment to those luckless individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally violated the hall rules. The rat-a-tat-tat of the “Girl at the Typewriter comes from the desk of the court stenographer, whose duty it is to take down the testimony and facts of each case. Such records are kept on file for reference. Cases are tried before a jury of seven members comprised of students in the upper one-fourth of their class. The cases of both the defendant and the plaintiff are heard. Student lawyers are instrumental in ascertaining that the jury is the possessor of all facts which have any bearing on the case. A sergeant-at-arms maintains order and demands that the “silence, which is golden”, prevail. I he function of the court is to maintain certain disciplinary measures which must continue if Central is to hold the national ranking that it now has among coeducational institutions throughout the nation.
