BENTLEY MACKINTOSH, counselor for the Class of June nineteen hundred tortyative. Because of his thorough understanding of young people and their frequent problems, his untiring efforts in our be- half, and his constant interest in our weltare, we have come to seek his worthy advice and to appreciate the wisdom of his friendly guidance'. In years to come, when even the fond- est memories of high school days may have faded from our minds, we shall always remember his warm encouragement and sympathy, his sterling character and outstanding leader- ship. It's the song ye sing, and the smile ye wear That's a-making the sun shine everywhere. Editmiae Did you ever stop to think that it takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed? Too many people are defeated before they ever venture out into the world alone. Call it llhard luck if you will, but the proper name for it is laziness. Everyone of us has a tendency to be lazy. This laziness is a type of physical and mental inertia. Like the inertia described in science classes there are two kinds prevalent in everyday litee'qnertia of rest and inertia of motion,ll The first is the one that readily describes those who never do today what they can put off until tomorrow They do things by halves, and more often than not it is the wrong halt. The second inertia accompanies a positive way of thinking. As Bing Crosby said in a recent moving-picture, llToo many people have negative thoughts. It they want to succeed, what they ought to do is 'Accentuate the Positive'l ln other words, when you have a job to doeget busy. Almost before you realize it, your mission will be accomplished Now that you seniors are ready to venture out into the world to make your way along the highway of life, you will want to know how to succeed. It you will remember about the danger of wrong l'inertia , you will be ready to answer the door when Opportunity knocks. PHYLLIS PETERSON Times change and we change therewith. So quoted Dr. Walsh, that good friend of yours and mine, in his message in the last issue of the Black and Gold. After a long period of faithful duty as your principal, Dre Walsh has retired. And with that Changing of the timesy the honor has fallen to me to succeed him It is my hope and desire that I may do this well; that I may be helpful to you in your search for that foundation which will tend to prepare you best for a full and useful life.

Thousands ot wheels are revolving, each revo- lution spelling progress of mankind against the ruthless enemy I operate a power presswhich blanks out parts tor incendiary bombs.

Progress will be shown with better cooperation.ll I leave the plant with that thought in mind. No one speaks on the way home, for all of us feel the inner satisfaction of a deed accomplished, of putting our shoulders to the wheel with mil- lions of workers, the world over. lVly Obligation As a Good American By Helen Anna Stahowiak Awarded girlsl honorable mention in Anthony Medal Contest America to me is the light of the world, cast- ing a democratic radiance upon the universe. Under her skies live the offspring of a union of many different nations. What shall be my obli- gations to her now and after the wheels of war have made their last revolution? I should have upon my lips the eloquent truths of the American Creed, and in my heart should be the beliefs of my foretathers that this coun- try is a mighty fountain from which gush the practices of the four treedoms. Since I am an American citizen, I should prove myself worthy ot this title by getting the most trom my education. I should master English in order to speak and write it correctly, as a good American should. My belief in equality should be so protound that I should never question the rights of my neighbors. I should participate freely in community service and be alert to new Changes that would better it socially. l should educate mysehc through the reading of newspa- pers, so that I can speak intelligently about the economic changes of the world in general and my country in particular. When I have reached the legal age and have the privilege of voting, I should do so readily, so that I can help to put in ottice those men who can best serve my country. To my fellow Americans who have the power to create master- pieces of literature, I should give words of en- couragement, that they may continue to en- lighten Americans with their doctrines and be- liets. Whenever among my friends there are disputes over political questions, l should, to the best of my ability, try to settle these debates to the sat- isfaction of all; for how can this country be suc- cessful as a democracy it there is friction in its very foundation? I should ask myself from time to time, lll-lave I done enough? Am I doing enough? Can I do more? The success of other Americans should stimulate my initiative and beckon me to contribute to a greater successe that of my country. I ought to be a shining examole of American youth capable of influenc- ing immigrants to become American citizens. At present 1 can alleviate America's financial burden through the purchase of war bonds. My contributions to Charity will also aid my country. l should at all times endeavor to preserve the American standard ot living God gave me this country, and to me it is the gift I hold most dear To show my appreciation, I will prove to you, America, that you are my country, right or wrong. Compulsory Military Training For Youth By Bruno Peter Baldini Awarded boysl honorable mention in Anthony Medal Contest One of our most vital post-war problems is whether or not we should have compulsory mili- tary training for our youth. This question, al- though it has been asked many times in the past year or so, still has not received a definite an- swer. Military authorities say compulsory mili- tary training of youth is what this country needs. 32 Religious and educational groups have a different opinions Their stand is that military training is not what this country needs, because it would make this nation militaristic Polls have shown that the general public is in favor of such a plan. Secret polls taken among our soldiers have shown that two-thirds of our fighting men favor compulsory military training. Army and Navy authorities do not plan to have our youth see actual military service, but they do propose to give our youth extensive military training. They do not plan to have our boys gain experience in garrison duty, barracks duty, etc. The plan which such experts propose is rather simple They claim that when a youth is eighteen years old, he is best suited for military training. Therefore, it would be the duty of local Selective Service boards to see that our youth is ready for military training at eighteen or upon graduation from high school. Militarists have agreed that one year is sufficient for such military training. No extra time would have to be allowed for in- duction, furlough, and discharge. Included would be time enough for maneuvers. At the time of induction the youth would have to take tests to show that he is mentally and physically fit for military training. He would also have the ooportunity to state whether he wants to be in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, or Marines lf tests shOWed that a trainee had the mental or mechanical ability to do a certain job in civilian life, he could do that same job in the branch of the service of which he is a member Figures based upon official Army rerords show that at least seventy-tive percent of the trainees require technical training besides the basic tune damental training. This means that the men will probably be sent to factories, ordnance plants, etc, to learn how to repair motors, trucks, guns, etc. Authorities state that such a plan would aid the youths tremendously in obtaining post war jobs Their point of view is that an Army tailor is still a tailor, a Navy watchmaker, a watch- maker in civilian life. Facts show that some Army jobs include as many as eight civilian jobs. The instructors and officers of such a training army would not be regular army men, but civilians like the trainees themselves. If a trainee shows high mental ability, he can apply for entrance to officers training school. 'The government would be willing to finance the college training of such a trainee. Strategists believe that if another war occurs, the attack would be by air. The nation most likely to be attacked would be the United States. It is a well-known fact that a considerable amount of time is required to train a pilot, navigator, bombardier, etc. Therefore, compulsory military training would decidedly benefit the air forces, because if war were declared, it would take only four or five months to retrain these men. Many citizens in this country today want to have the question of compulsory military training for youth decided immediately. Others want to wait until the peace comes. This question will be discussed and debated for a considerable length of time. It is my own personal opinion that this question should be settled immediately. I have no doubt that in whatever way the issue is settled, the American people will accept the deci- sion as just and wise. l'll Wait By Esther Tillinger He shone above the others, Clad in his navy blue, As he whispered to her softly That his love was strong and true. The moon was shining brightly i And high up in the sky; With tender glance and trusting, She answered with a sigh: No matter how long, darling, l'll waitayes, wait for you. I'll be the very truest Girl you ever knew Write often to me, dearesta Please let me know youlre well, While we can both look forward To hear the Liberty Bell. The boys will be returning; Then you and l will be ln a little seaside cottage Just for you and me. 33 Then shrill the whistle sounded; In haste he took his leave. Goodbye, he whispered fondly; But, darling, do not grieve, Even in far Alaska-a Perhaps in sunny Rome,- llll be thinking of you always, Dreaming of, you-.at home'l She turned and wandered homewardy Her face aglow with pride, Remembering the mission Of him who'd left her side, To fight the force of evil, To make all wars to cease, To liberate all peoples, . To gain a lasting peace. Some sacrifice, some heartbreak, Some loneliness, some pain; And then the glad homecoming To love and peace again! CHEERLEADERS First Row, left to right: A. DiPahEi, M.

An ideal boy, in my opinion, would be tall, at least a head taller than 1 am in high heels. He would. have blonde hair and blue eyes. Of course an ideal must have a physique similar to Super- man's. He must be well dressed, whether he is in sport togs or a tuxedo, and he must always have that scrubbed clean look. My ideal would probably play basketball, football, and a few other competitive games, being a star in at least one. He would be a regular fellow with the boys and a gentleman with the girls. He would know what to do at a formal and how to be the life of the party at a picnic. Everyone wants to have a com- panion who is intelligentenot a walking dic- tionary, but someone who is attentive enough in all his classes to get an A or B. These are the most important characteristics of a high school boy that I would consider my ideal. MY IDEAL lFrom a boy's point of viewl By Victor Kane Since I am writing from a masculine vieWpoint, I hope that my description of Mah ldeel, as Li'l Abner would say, will conform somewhat to the opinions of my fellow classmates. First of all, I believe that such a girl should be four or five inches shorter than I. It might be wisest at this point not to state definitely whether I should prefer this girl to be blonde, brunette or redheaded. You may be sure, though, that white or grey will not be considered! This dream girl should be slim and must know how to the girl who possesses an effervescent wit, but dress becomingly and neatly. I always admire who can also be serious when the need arises. If she is a graceful dancer and has that rare ability to mix with many types of people, she will always be a military objective at parties and dances. A love for most outdoor activities would be another quality necessary for a rating as dream girl. Lastly, l believe Mah ldeel should be one who can converse intelligently on many important topics. Who knows, maybe I've been sitting near such an unusual girl in study hall for the last year and never realized it. JUNIOR RED CROSS First Row, left to right: B. Mullaney, E. Bender, D. Fawthrop, E.

What a Girl Thinks About a Boy,s lcleal By Evelyn Carol Saglio Now that I have read this description of a dream girl, I feel as it I could make a tew cor- rections that might make the dreams last longer. In the first place, why wouldnlt a tall girl be ideal? Think how handy she would be to do :se ond story jobs or to reach out over the crowd to grab bargains and such As to being blonde Or brunette, well why not be modern? Let her change with the seasons. After all the Holly- wood Pin-Up girls do. There is nothing so dull as a llOne Type. Why do you dream of a slim girl? If she's slim she no doubt eats like a canary and prob- ably cant even boil water without burning it. They say the fatter, the jollier. Although she may cost more to dress, she's probably a good cook. A graceful dancer? Well, thats how you'll lose her. The day your foot drags, she will start looking for a better dancing partner. About conversing intelligently. Horrors! You know what that meansea walking dictionary. She'll probably talk you down, in and out of situations Well, I'd better not go any further or your dream girl will seem more like a nightmare to you; but cheer up. Love is blind, they say, and that explains it all, What a Boy Thinks About 6 Girls loleal By Victor Kane Tall? That's whereyou'rewrong. You'llnever boss him. Choose a shortyH and tower over him. Blonde? Oh, but what vanity lurks in him. Helll never admire anyone but himself. Watch him smile at himself in glass bookcase doors. ln- telligent? Then he'll know the dumbness of others. Can you stand that? Superman phy- sique? Tarzan is as Tarzan does! Superman goes right through walls. Hels hard to hold on to. Good dresser? You bet he'll spend all his money on himself. Athlete? Prepare to bow and applaud, then. He's asking for it. Life of the party? Then he's everybodyis favorite. Youlll continually have competition. Now, perhaps, you can see that such a seem- ingly perfect ideal as you have pictured does not excel our own common turnll here at Central TRAFFIC SQUAD First Row, left to right: E. Macgonagle, M.

How many times have you heard that statement telling you that it you will send the tops trom boxes of Krispy Krunchy Krackers, you will receive a replica of the bed George Washington slept in or a lock of the bald leading man's hair? Millions of people all over the world are eating food they never liked, because they can obtain something for practically nothing. IVlost Ameri- can people are always hunting for bargains. Those who are not vulnerable to that magic word l'bar- gain send for any advertised product from curi- osity, This curiosity is born from the description of the article. The sentence that l'clinches'l the inquisitive nature of the people isa'Never be- fore has anything so spectacular been offered! America wishes to know: why is it so spectacular? what makes it different? - The young people of the nation usually look to Superman, Tom Mix, and Terry Lee of 11Terry and the Pirates as the ideal men. Therefore, whenever their particular ideal advertises some article for only a box top and a dime, the young- sters are not content until they have it. Box tops are as much a part of American life as ham and eggs, and probably will always re- main so as long as there are radio serials and the people of the nation remain just that. THUMBNAIL SKETCHES By Robert Durkin l. A Horse Race ' The horses were lined up at the starting-gate aeager, anxious, nervous, for they too sensed the excitement of the coming races The clang of a bell cut through the crisp air, and the animals broke forth in an uneven lines They headed down the track in huddled forma- tion. The thunder of their hoots could be heard distinctly ab0ve the enthusiastic response of the multitude of spectators The nervousness of the crowd was not greater than that of the horses, for both man and animal felt the thrill of the race. The jockeys, manoeuvering their horses into more desirable positions, were cheered by the crowd for their display of horsemanship. 2. .Night Raider At exactly eleven o'clock the entire household retired to their bed-chambers tor a night of com- fortable rest. Everything had been securely locked and Checked. Along about two o'clock in the morning I was awakened by the whining of my pup. Sensing something wrong, I slipped out of bed and moved stealthily toward the head of the stairs, listening intently for some noise that had aroused the dogs After standing quietly for some time, I heard the sound. It must have been made by someone 41 As the race was drawing to a close, three horses shot ahead of the rest and made a superb effort to reach the finish line. One of the leaders, in a great burst of speed, forged steadily, inch by inch, ahead of the two others. The jockey, show- ing wonderful skill, kept his horse close to the railabending over, rigid and tense, his mind fixed on that one aimato win! But now the second horse was drawing closea in tact, too close Realization of this spurred the leader to even greater speed, and, straining every muscle, with the roar and tumult of the frenzied crowd ringing in his ears, he crossed the lineathe winner! groping about in the dark. I felt a peculiar sen- sation racing up my spine, all the time trying to steel myself for the ordeal that ltknew was before me. Slowly, quietly, carefullyeal made my way down the stairs. On reaching the bottom, I pulled the kitchen door ajar and gazed upone One of our guestsea gleaming knife in one handa And a chicken leg in the other! Our Trip Across the Country in 1955 By Arlene Silva and Mary Ladefian Mary and l, employed as secretaries in one or the Prowdence insurance companies, happened to receive a rare privilege in the business worlo: six months' leave trom the ottice tor a bit ot DUSI- ness mixed with pleasure. We are gomg to tell you only about the pleasure. Well, it started one brisK morning in Decem- ber as we were boarding the train at the Union station, headed tor New York. Atter a porter had taKen our baggage, we settled in our seats and opened our magazme. It was the latest issue or Hashy l-ashions, edited by Mary lVlagarian and picturing stunning gowns oesigned by Mary Michael and modeled by lrma Bowen and Theo- dora Swazye. Halfway to New York we overheard the couple seated behind us talking about the new radio comedienne, Marguerite Deignan, who was ap- pearing at Duttyts Tavern under the name of Peggy Dane. We weren't surprised, because back at school Marguerite had been known for her comical remarks. We finally reached New York, only to be caught in the Christmas holiday spirit and also in the throng of shoppers. We, ourselves, wanted to make some purchases; so we entered the near- est department store. Walking through, we passed Toyland and glanced up, to see seated on Santa's throne none other than Central's own Fred Smith. We figured it must have been a part-time job, which Fred tilled well. After our shopping tour, we stopped for lunch- eon at one of the swanky restaurants in the down- town district, which featured l'The Sax King, Victor Primavera, with his vocalist, Bob Constan- tino, The music was very enjoyable while we ate the delicious toocl prepared under the direc- tion of Evelyn Carol Saglio. The newspaper we purchased after leaving the restaurant proved to be of interest to us. When we had a chance to read on the subway, we turned to the society pages and saw an article which read: Famous lecturer Claire Antonelli, known for her elocution lessons which students all over the country have taken, will be the guest of Helen Stahowiakv Her topic is lWhy we should have Public Speaking' Miss Stahowiak will play a few selections tor guests, among whom will be De- lores Duorey, Rosemary Burlingame, Beatrice Ja- cobson, Marjorie Luncl, Patricia Nardozzi, Lucille Piatt, Kathleen Simpson, Eleanor Swanson, Filo- mena Tanzi, Joyce Yeadon, Gloria Giampietro, Anne Allen and Constance Allen lsuccesstul in business, some in housekeeping, others socially prominentl. Barbara Gunn, Kathleen Barnes, Jeanne Jalbert, and Jeanne Kelly will also enter- tain the group with their tamous haimonIZing. It was interesting to see what our classmates had accomplisheo since they had Iert scnOOI. We lett the train and hurried to our rooms at the Waloort Astoria in oroer to get reaay tor the ice Lapades that evening. Atter the usual primps, we tound ourselves amid a tasci- nated audience. All eyes were locusecl on a gracetul tigure encircled by a blue spotlight. she glided over the surtace ot the comma ice with the ease and pertection which years 0t ex- perience had brought. -l he star or the show was pretty Louise Larkin, one of our old triencls trom Central. The entire show proved to be most interesting. As we were leaving the arena, we bumped into a tew ex-Centralites; Lucia Uvalles, winner of the International Typing Lhampionship, Albina Pano, and Claire bexton. Tl he two latter told us that they were employed in an advertising concern and that they enjoyed their work very much. After we left the girls, we boarded a bus, and, to our surprise, seated in the drivers seat was John Pharnes, a Central graduate. The usual greetings took place, and we left the bus at our hotel. We enjoyed ourselves in this wayeseeing entertainments and appreciating the New YorK sights immensely, until we departed for Chicago via plane in late February. it was a pleasant day when we arrived at La Guardia Field to board the large passenger plane in whose doorway stood a petite air hostess l'Why, we exclaimed, itls Betty Smiegel, and what is she doing here? Well, we found this out, along with other things that she told us dur- ing our trip. She told us that the pilot of the plane was another of our classmates, Ray Thorn- ton The advancement of these two proved sur- prising and interesting. Ray brought the plane down on the long runway of one of Chicagols airports with efficiency and ease Once in Chicago and on the way to our hotel, we met Kay Regan, Betty Connaughton, and Mary Grady, who were ship hostesses on a week's vaca- tion. They invited us to their alumni party which they had planned for the following evening. We naturally jumped at the chance of seeing so many of our other classmates, and the appointed night found us having a grand time. We hardly re- alized that a party of this sort would enable us to talk to boys and girls of our class for the first time and to others whom we had known all through our three years at Central. Among those dancing we saw Lillian Alexion, Julietta Amoroso, John Criscione, George Campbell, Marie Coates, Frank Giorgio, Shirley Armstrong, Doris Brown, Francis Foye, and Nick DiNezza. We strolled through the ballroom to the iounge, where small groups were chatting. We looked around and saw Esther Fischer, Esther Tillinger, George Damiano, Paul D'Agnenica, Betty Greene, Laura Hyman, Edward lacovino, Louis Geremia, Robert Kimball, and Olga Mama bro. From there, we made our way to the dining- room, where a buffet luncheon was beng served to Rose DjArrico, Josephine D'Amico, Vincent Melluccil Norbert Stamps, Florence Fallon, Mary Hudsonl Vahan Melkonian, Joseph Murphy, Lucy Palumbo, Bernice O'Brien, and Thomas Uciterro There were others who were still coming in, among them Dorothy Mathewson, William Rot- ter, Rose Renzi, Concetta Susi, Albert Casali, Virginia Boyajian, Angelo Carnevale, Ralph Ca- duto, Radcliffe Carnes, Madeline Chine, and El- vina Tavares. We found later that they had been successful in the business world, the in- dustrial world, and the domestic world. As we went to get ourselves a glass of punch, we came upon Paul Loverridge, who said he was a reporter and was writing up the party. During the course of conversation he told us that Ann DiMicco's play, Corn on the Cob,1' was currently billed at the Such and Such Theater. The cast included Anna DiPanni, Marie Bellini, Ray Co- meHa, Mary Ricciardi, Etta Ferdinandi, Victor Kane, and Robert Tortola. We were happy to see the successful height that these students had reached. Although we wanted to see the play, time didn't permit; so we left for Denver, Colorado. Once in Denver, we made a point of visiting the Newsy News, a leading newspaper in that city. Editor-inachief, Mario Altano, showed us around the spacious offices with clicking typewriters, calculating machines, duplica'tors, and comptom- eters Operated by Doris Vick, Ruth Bloom, Anna Ceprano, Sue Ciaraglia, Matalda Ciolfi, Dora Col- arusso, Angelina DeFiHippo, and Josephine An- nese. We entered the art department and werenlt surprised to see seated at their easels, sketching the delightful characters of the comic page, Rich- ard and Robert Boyajian, Charles Okerbloom, and Robert Beckett. v The latest scoops of local, national, and world events were being brought in by Edwin Cockroft, Elias Badway, Gennaro Russillo, Gerald Grebstein, and Howard Payne. In a small office occupied by four or five peo- ple, Alfred Belotz was seated at his desk, writing his daily medical article, Your Stomach and You. On a nearby desk-top, society columns were being written by Phyllis Peterson and Shir- ley Johnson. a A few minutes later John Williams came rush- ing in with an article about George Spirito and Ray Venditti, basketball and wrestling coaches. William Golish, Joe LaFauci, and Al Girard, physi- cal education instructors, were on the commit- tee with Lena Martellini and Peggy Williams, and Lorraine Purcell, also gym instructors for the erection of a new gymnasium; therefore, they made news in still another office we found Muriel Ander- son, Pauline Durfee, Antonetta Conte, and Anna Colaneri, working as filing clerks and proof read- ers. Ruth Headley, Norma Griffin, Ruth Jerome, and Esther Esposito were other members of the group. As we toured the building, we came upon Ev- erett Larson, Richard Pinney, John Slocum, Al- bert Watt, and Edward Rodman, who were roil- ing the afternoon editions off the presses. This ended our absorbing visit to such an in- teresting enterprise. We were reluctant to leave, but our minds were anticipating the events to come in the city of Las Vegas. Late May found us on one of our famous tours, This time it was in a manufacturing concern. In the course of our visit we saw blueprint read- ers, pattern makers, molders, sheet metal work- ers, and mechanics. Filling the jobs were Edward Andreas, Richard Bagge, Leonard Buckler, Anton Christe, Harry Nield, Edward Raymond, Owen Read, Anthony lasimone, and Nathan Wadding- ton. Our six months' vacation was drawing to a close, and we had to make one more stop: Cali- fornia. So we departed from Las Vegas. Sunny California was beautiful, with exquisite homes, shops, schooIs, and theatres. Speaking of theatres, one evening we went to a well-known movie house. While we were standing in line in front of the theatre, Janice Rich came up behind us, When we inquired where she was working, she said she was a nurse in one of California's hospitals. She also mentioned that Ruth Schul- theis, Margaret McCormick, Rosemary McLaugh- ton, Gladys Robinson, Bertha Vanner, Barbara Davies, Marjorie Stein, and Barbara Russin were on the hospital's staff. At the boxeottice, we bought our tickets from Robert Angilly. Once inside, we were ushered to our seats by Edward Woodbine, who told us the movie operator was George Budlong. His school experience had helped him to qualify for the position, Because of the capable acting of Edward Tor- gen, Gloria Ferri, and Dixie Kalfanian, the film proved to be enjoyable, The stage show which followed was colorful and exciting. The star dancer was Central's own Carmella Gizarelli, and the little singer who had reached fame was our own Barbara Nash, During the intermission we went back-stage with many other visitors to see the girls. The scenery was being changed by stage hands William Hoar, Oscar Leonhardt, and Rob- ert Riccir Nancy Wesley and Lois Washington, two of Barbara's friends, were make-up girls, hairdressers, and wardrobe girls, putting last- minute touches to the stars' make-up, Girls busy at these jobs were Frances Cosgrove, Lucille La Mont, Theodora Mihopouios, Doris Monez, Helen Northup, Emily Russo, Regina Walsh, and Joyce Wayner. After the show, we left the theater, enthu- siastic over the good entertainment we had seen. In the lobby we saw milling about Benny D'Acunto, Mina Comella, Marguerite Constantini, Richard Headley, James Hughes, Vincent lasi- mone, Emily lde, Mary Kanelos, Peter Kayajanian, Viola Lancellotti, Ethel LeBelle, Ruth Morse, Mu- riel Fong, Ronald Place, Harry Snitkotsky, Nancy Thomas, and John Vitulli, Fate had brought them to jobs in aH lines of work, in the business and industrial worlds, in the arts and professions. Some were in heated discussion, others making no comments, but all seemed to have enjoyed the show, and all were enjoying life. We hope that you have found enjoyment in reading our prophecy. It may be not so good, it may be com, but please, please doth put it to scorn. BUDGET COLLECTORS AND S. A, 0. First Row, left to right, all 5. A. 0.: T, R. Mansohllo; 2, E. TiHinger; 3, J.

Jalbert Something New at Central By Frederick Smith Since about the middle of last term, a sort of vibration has been noted hereabouts. Some of the hepsters have defined it as jump, Cen- tral's jumping, they say The reason-? Our new dance orchestra, of course! Don't call it a jazz band, swing band, or the like, because Mr, McCabe, the instructor, will correct you. It's an all-round dance orchestra with a definite vocational purposes Mr. McCabe, who has had many years of experience in symphony, theatre, radio, and dance music, says it teaches the play- ers all phases of modern music. The book in- cludes VTennese wa1tzes, show tunes, rhumbas, sambas, begu1nes, popular tunes of the day, and a few jump numbers. The instrumentation is five brass, tour saxoa phones, piano, bass, drums, and two vocalists. John Barbarita is the student leader. After re- hearsals, the players sometimes indulge in jam sessions as the pictures below illustrate. The orchestra has played at athletic events and other school functions. By providing music for danc- ing after the basketball games, the band has helped to increase the attendance at these games, and enlarge the school treasury. And so, dear readers, when in 1956 you turn on your television set, you will see, instead of Harry James, John Barbarita and his Stream- 11ners. As they become Americas most popu- lar dance band, we shall be proud to think of them as former Classmates and former Central- Ites. BABY PICTURES PAGES 35, 36, 37 1, J. S1ocum, 2, B, Gunn, 3, K.

Anderson When I was a little girl, I loved riding in the sleigh on a cold winter's day up to Grandma's house in the country. The air was clear and snappy, but I was con- tent and happy snuggled down between Mother and Daddy underneath the great fur rugs It was nice to feel so snug and warm and watch the horse, Beauty, prancing along on the hard crusted snow with her breath clouding the air. Finally Beauty would turn down a side road, and even though l couldn't see much by this time, for l was halt buried under the lap-robe, I knew that we were approaching Grandma's. When the sleigh halted, as quickly as I could l scrambled out of the sleigh and ran into Grand- ma's arms. As l snuggled down into her ample grasp, the sweet smell of spice and the luscious odor of apple pie filled my nostrils Then Grandma would quickly pick me up and carry me into the house. The next thing I knew, I would be propped up in the rocker with a spicy, sweet smelling apple turnover clenched in one small fist. After I had finished my tart, and while the older folks were gossiping, I would quietly slip out of the room and make my way up to the play- room that had once been my own mother's nurs- ery. Quietly I would open the door and, with an awed, happy look, run straight for the rag doll propped up in the tiny rocking-chair near the fireplace. l had lots of dolls at home, rag ones, China ones and rubber ones, but beyond all these, I still loved poor, ragged, worn-out Polly, that had once been Mother's. I would sit there for hours, contentedly rocking and singing to Polly, and even when twilight came and it was time to start home again, Grandma always knew where to find me. Sometimes, besides singing Polly to sleep, I would quietly nod myself, and Daddy would have to carry me out to the sleigh in his arms, and by the time l woke up, we would be home again Some bobby-sockers had the scare of their lite when they read, Allied Fleet Blasts Su- matra , and thought they were referring to Fran- kie.

Pop: ln my day the Board of Education was a group of husky neighbors who helped the teach- er whip some sense into the bigger boys who thought they were Bored with Education.

Davison. 58 Basketball Becoming rather bored at always finishing just out of the Championship Basketball Playoffs, Mr. Kutneski decided to get his boys to work early. Even before the football season had ended, sev- eral boys were earnestly getting into condition. With the end of football, the squad started at once to get down to business. Two games a week were arranged, starting the first week in Decem- ber. The team lost only one pre-season contest. This was to Durfee High of Fall River. The game was very Close, and, incidentally, Durfee went through its regular season undefeated. Central was ready for the opening of the League, and wasted no time in dropping a good Rogers team. Then came a defeat by East Provi- dence's powerhouse. This team, incidentally, eventually became Rhode island State Champions. Hopey Mt Pleasant, and Cranston proved easy Then after obtaining a very comfortable margin against Pawtucket East at Pawtucket, the team seemed to fall to pieces, and was defeated The next game was at La Salle, and the boys were in there pitching However, they fell one point short of victory, but were in the game every min- Lite. Now came graduation and with that, the de- harture of the hard-working, inspiring Larry Smith. Before his uniform had dried, Larry was wearing a Varsity uniform of Rhode Island State This is truly a tribute to any high school boy. All eyes were on the Central team to see what it would do without Larry. Two exhibition games were dropped. Then two league defeats were registered by Rogers and East Providence; Smith's height and spark seemed truly needed. However, Central was still in the thick of the league scramble, Victories over Hope and Mt. Pleasant encouraged the team. Then came a most disappointing showing against the same Cranston team that in the first round had proved so easy, Central, La Salle, and Cranston were now matching point for point for a play-off post. Then came a bombshell. Rogers announced the forfeiting of nine league games. This gave La Salle a boost, as Rogers had defeated her twice. With only two games left on the league sched- ule and with the race virtually tied, Central went to work and won two solendid victories over Paw- tucket East and La Salle The La Salle game was a thriller; Bill Golish's foul shot fifteen sec- onds before the gun, meant victory and first place in our division The qualifiers for the State Championships were Central, East Providence, Pawtucket West, and Cranstoni STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS The Rhode Island State Championships opened at lvlarvel Gymnasium on March 9. Central drew as its first opponent a heavy favorite, Pawtucket Wests This game proved a thriller. William Golish was the leading scorer, scoring l8 points in a little more than a period. He fell on his face and was forced from the game. This did not daunt the team. They matched Pawtucket West point by point, With two min- utes to go, Pawtucket led 42x40. Constantino tied it, 42-42, with one minute and thirty-fiye seconds to go. Then Central began to fight The play was entirely under the Pawtucket bas- ket, but no clean shot could be taken Then the ball was fed to Mansolillo, and a corner shot swept cleanly through the hoop as the gun re- sounded. CENTRAL 44h PAWTUCKET WEST 42 The following Friday, Central met East Provi- dence The Townies were not to be denied, and the fire of the previous week seemed lacking in the Black and Gold Quintet Central, for the third time this season, lost to East Providence by fifteen points, 46-3l, The final game of the season was played the following night against South Kingstown. When time was announced for the Central team to take the floor, only six boys were present. This neces- sitated the starting of the game without three regulars. This team of Mansolillo, Golish, La Fauci, Patrick, and Spirito did well and obtained a first period lead of l3-l l. The regulars began to arrive, and were infiltrated into the line-up, only to lose the lead and at half-time South Kingstown was in front, 22-l9. 59 The regular line-up was intact at the start of the second half, but seemed to show the effect of insufficient warm-up, and could cut the Kings- town lead only one point at the end of period three. The score stood, S. K 30, Central 28 Central went ahead for a brief time, only to have South Kingstown refuse to be denied, and the final score read: South Kingstown 43, Central 36. The season is over. The boys played good and bad ball. One of the highlights of the Champion- ship Tournament was the support given the team by the Central student body. It was said by Mr. Lanning, cartoonist of the Providence Journaly To Central High Student Body Goes First Prize for Support of Their Team Something Called Sportsmanship By James J. Hughes Before entering Central, I had little interest in athletics, mainly because I was not a very good athlete myself. After seeing some of our toot- ball games, I became an avid tan and decided to see all the games I could possibly attend. Work after school prevented me from seeing all the games l wished to see and also acted to banish any ideas I had about joining some teams I am sure that the memories of those games will live on with us. Let us look over some of them. 1 remember away back in l943, on Arm- istice Day, when Central played against La Salle in football. That was a memorable day! It was raining, and the football field was as slippery as ice, La Salle won by a score of 6 to 0, but it had to tight very hard. I remember that the La Salle line bucked into our Central team three times on the one-toot line. Our team stopped them three times Then there was baseball. This sport is my favorite, although basketball is a close second. I remember how well Dick Gosselin played in spite of bad situations. That boy, I feel, must have been a workhorseH when I remember that seventeen inning game he pitched against East Providence, I think that is the schoolboy record for the longest game played. All this was in l944, When we played against La Salle at East Providence field lour home gamel, something happenedian incident I shall remember long. A pretty blonde girl was sitting in front of me. A baseball came whizzing itno the stands and hit her. Danny Sarro, a January T945 graduate, became the hero of the day. He kissed the sore spot on her forehead and then ran for a cold, wet Cloth to soothe the bad bump. When we played a return game with La Salle at its field, we won it by a score of 8 to 5. The game will be remembered long by those who saw it. I can still see an argumentative man in a soldier suit ll still don't know whether he was a soldier or notl. l can see two red-taced coaches yelling on both sides, And I remember a cer- tain baseball bat and a green bench. Yes, that was a game to remember. From baseball we shift to basketball, where we really shine, The date is also changed; this time it is T945. There are four games I have in mind as the best. Two of them were with La Salle, and two were with Pawtucket East. ln the first game with La Salle, our opponents won 37 to 36. Larry Smith sacrificed his prom to play his last game with our team. We had 49 seconds to score, but failed However, we made up for it in the second gamel This time 7 seconds made the difference, and a foul toss won the game for us. Everyone was practically in hysterics, and the Centralites were mad with joy when the final score was tallied! l could hardly speak when I left the gym, because my voice was hoarse from yelling No game will ever match the basketball game I saw that night! The two Pawtucket East games were exciting, especially the first one, Many Centralites will have unhappy memories of that game. Not much can be said about our l944 football team or our l945 hockey team. These teams fought hard, but had bad breaks; that is all. Our football teams showed up well when they battled Mt. Pleasant to a 0-0 score and when they came from behind to tie Hope l3-l3i The cheerleaders should be given special men- tion here. All through stormy weather, snow or rain, the loyal Cheerleaders were there cheering our teams and making us cheer for our teams even in defeat. In memory we still hear the school songs and cheers in the trolley car coming home. HOCKEY The hockey season rolled around again, and Central went on its annual hunt for a coach. Finallyy Mr. Norman Feiter reluctantly agreed to till in, in the emergency. The only victory of the season was registered in a hard-tought contest against our rival, Crans- ton. In spite of consistent weekly defeats, the team did not give up, but was in there fighting throughout the entire season. Three boys were outstanding and received hon- orable mention in the AIl-State selections These were George Padien, Dick Connery, and Joe Ricci. The winning of his Major C in hockey made George Padien a tive-letter man with the pos- sibility of making it seven before the end of this term. It is with regret that we learn that Dick Cone nery has found it necessary to leave school in order to go to work. Central has lost a fine ath- ete. HOCKEY First Row, left to right: J, Cairns, G.

Because of the unusually small number of boys who reported to Mr Beachen, it at first looked rather difficult to round out a good team How- ever, what the squad lacked in quantity, it made up in quality. The group went to work whole- heartedly and conscientiously, Improvement was shown each week, and while team victories were outnumbered by defeats, every match was always Clean and hard fought.
