What good will it do you? Why not study a modern language or science? You will forget your Greek in a few years. These questions are frequently put to a student of Greek. We admit that very few ‘students study Greek, that the modern languages and sciences are studied with great enthusiasm; but why not study Greek? The pupil who chooses a science or modern language chooses that which will give immediate results, money or ornament. Is money to be the aim of the twentieth century civilization? Will a man’s dollars benefit the world? But the pupil who wishes to raise the standard of living, to uplift his fellowmen, looks to a more permanent and more valuable result to life. This pupil chooses Greek as a foundation for further education. He realizes the good obtained by studying the language of the most gifted race the world has ever cherished,—for what other race can boast of a literature created quite without models, complete in all its forms, in many unsurpassed, in some still unequaled? He chooses Greek for the mental training it affords. He knows that no other language has the virtues and all the virtues that Greek has; he knows that no other study will produce the results desired and obtained through the study of Greek. He knows that, “Greek is Greek, there is no Greek but Greek, and Greek is its prophet.” The student who has really studied Greek cannot and will never forget it. The study of Greek is a great educational instrument. It develops the intelligence. It is a key to history; it is necessary for a study of the New Testament; it promotes exact thought and a philosophic mind; it gives an understanding for scientific terminology. Do we not owe our science, our mathematics, geometry, astronomy, geography, anatomy, and medicine to the ancient Greeks ? What learned profession has not a vocabulary derived from Greek stems? How many times is a member of the English class forced to turn to a Greek mythology for a better understanding of his text? How many times is he compelled to say, “That comes from a Greek word...........” but what is that Greek word and what connection has it with the English? Is not tlie •study of Greek then the “royal road” to the study of English? The student who elects Greek studies the ancient religion of a race whose method was inquiry, whose aim was to understand and express; he studies their art, history, civil and domestic life, their science of warfare. The architecture and sculpture of Greece together with the Homeric verse still remain unsurpassed. Has any artist since the time of Zeuxis been able to deceive his rival by the Page Four perfectness of his art, as Parrhasius did Zeuxis? With a knowledge of Greek literature one can better understand Greek art. The laws and government of ancient Greece are studied by statesmen of to-day. What piece of English literature can surpass the pathetic scene described by Homer of Hector's leave-taking of his wife and little son? Xenophon in his Anabasis has shown the world what should be the tactics of a retreat; how to command a rear guard; and the flexibilities of Greek tactics. Lieut.-Col. Dodge says, “More tactical originality has come from Xenophon’s Anabasis than from any dozen other books. .. .. After twenty-three centuries there is no better military text-book than the Anabasis. Through the study of Greek the student becomes acquainted with some of the world’s best literature. Professor Jebb says, “Of all the things which the Greeks created, their own language was the most beautiful.” In Greek were written some of the best epic and lyric poetry. The most nearly perfect drama we have was written in Greek. Great skill is shown in handling all oratorical arguments. In all Greek literature there is a pervasive humor, a “delicate irony, and stateliness of narrative.” Why did the Greek boy learn his Homer by heart? Why do you reach out your hand with eagerness for the English translations of Homer? Why have the Iliad and the Odyssey been preserved through more than two thousand years? Because to quote Dr. John Ira Bennett of Union College, “Greek books are fresh and vigorous; they came from life and they have life eternal.” You admit the superiority of Greek over other languages, then why not study Greek ? There are three ways to study a language: first, with reference to the subject, to make use of it later; second, with reference to the form, that is grammatically and analytically; third, with reference to the grace of expression. The first two ways give mental discipline, the third culture. Yes, Greek is hard because, of its various and diverse ways of expression and similarity of forms and its fulness of inflection. In Greek there is an optative mood, a middle voice, an aorist tense, a dual number, all of which are not found in Latin. With this fulness of inflection the Greeks made many fine distinctions of meaning, which cannot be expressed so clearly in any other language. Although many forms are very much alike, Greek syntax is simpler than the syntax of Latin. With a close observation of forms, translating becomes an art when the translator understands translation must make sense, for Greek is logical and expresses an idea exactly as it is to be conveyed; it is exact and can mean omy one thing. The study of Greek is a means of accurate expression and clear thought. Is this not something our country longs to develop in her citizens? Since Greek civilization has influenced our civilization, has given an inspiration for our religion, our literature, since it has enriched the resources in the use of our own language, since Greek literature, art, science of warfare is still unsurpassed and considered worthy to be a model, since “everything that moves in this world of ours, save only the blind forces of nature is Greek in its origin,” is Greek not worth studying, gentle reader, though “the immortal gods placed toil in the path to excellence and though the road to it is long ana steep ?” Mary Hathaway Bolles, ’08. 8 J$lotor=poat ftace ilmpromptu This incident occurred last summer at the St Clair Flats. I may mention here that this part of the country is ideally situated for the use of all kinds of launches, inasmuch as there are hundreds of miles of waterways, widely dispersed in direction, but in no place out of landsight. Notwithstanding this, it is not an uncommon occurrence for boats to get lost in some of the complex channels and passages. Among the many rival boat owners up there, one of them, a friend of mine, was very talkative, nay, even boastful concerning the merits of his boat. It might be argued that he had good cause to think well of it for in the numerous brushes between the “Arab’' and the local boats, he had been a constant winner. But to him that vaunts, there always comes a day of reckoning. On account of his excessive talking, every man on the river who owned a fast one,, was “laying for him” and was keen for a chance to “show him up.” At last the opportunity came. It was on the occasion of a short run to Algonac. Smith, one of the prominent men of the town and a boat builder by profession, had just finished a six-cylinder racer of new design for one of his Detroit customers. He was testing it out with a few short runs when my friend, not suspecting anything, passed him. Smith advanced his throttle to the three-quarter position. The engine responded beautifully, bringing him within twenty meters of the other boat. My friend was unmistakably worried as was evidenced by the fact that he turned his boat three points to the starboard, heading directly for the gas-buoy at the head of Russel Island. Smith, however, was not to be shaken off. He likewise changed his course. The sight of these two annihilators of distance, their polished nickel parts scintillating with the rays of the rising sun, their engines running with chronometer precision,—the syncopation produced by the cadence of their even, unmuffled exhausts,—the field of green water upon which they were maneuvering,—its background of tree-studded islands,—made an impression upon me never to be forgotten. To resume our story, the “Arab” seeing that it was being slowly overtaken, now turned completely around, doubling on its course, heading for Algonac. Smith, putting his helm hard over, hung on like a bulldog. In turning at a sharp angle with the line of direction,, at a speed close to eighteen knots an hour, his boat listed so much that a considerable amount of water was shipped. In spite of this she steadied up, and in full view of an interested crowd on the White Star Line dock, the “Six,” with a terrific burst of speed, shot way past the “Arab,” slowed down, and tied up at its mooring. Van R. Schermerhorn, ’o8. Page Five Page Sis Clas :Poem Our school life lies behind; its happy hours, Are buried in the dim and distant past; And memory brings us now naught but the flowers, Of those four years that sped away so fast. Yet turn we for a lingering look tonight, To that dear Past’s departed pleasures bright. We see, as now we take a backward view, A bright September morn, whose balmy air, And grasses sparkling with the undried dew, Speak parting Summer’s message everywhere. We see old Central’s portals open wait, To greet the coming class of nineteen-eight. We see ourselves as trembling Freshmen stand, To know our fortune in that ample hall; We feel again that sense of foreign land; That sense of strangeness, loneliness, and all: As, looking up with dazed, affrighted frown, We saw the upper classmen looking down. We see those rooms like catacombs of old, That puzzled with their non-adjacency; We vainly strive to seek the numbers told; With scornful, Sophomore-like complacency, We strive to enter every class room door, And “make our levels” on the proper floor. But memory forever will hold dear, And give an honored page in her great book, That bitter-sweet, that studious Freshman year; Yes, in our hearts it has its sacred nook. The thorny green must e’re surround the rose, Before its fragrant petals shall unclose. A year has passed; and now, as Sophomores proud, We go to rooms assigned without a guide; What privilege to Freshmen not allowed, Shall from henceforth be ours! Fond, foolish pride,— For, looking up with smile instead of frown, We find the upper classmen still look down. But there are compensations: Freshmen now, Look up to us, as we were kings of men, And on the street the Juniors almost bow, (Disdainfully, and look away again!) And lessons do not seem such awful bores, And bluff is tried and oftentimes it scores! And so this year goes on. Societies Begin to come our way, and contests, too. We’re learning now what High School really is, Its meaning, and its spirit, brave and true. Exams and tests concern us more and more, That we have good reports when they are o’er. In sports we take a growing active part: We even have our players on the team. If Central loses, we lose hope and heart; When Central wins, with joyousness we beam; Though we have not yet perfect bliss attained, As Sophs, a worthy measure we have gained. And yet again old Central’s doors swing wide, Upon a glorious morn in early fall; We feel a new, a glowing sense of pride, As Juniors, entering the well-known hall. And with half kind and half disdainful frown, We join the upper classmen looking down. One-half our course, two precious years, we’ve passed: Before us stretch two precious twelve months more: We’ll strive to make them better than the last, To learn more than we’ve ever learned before: We’ll study hard and all the time! but lo, What games and parties, — surely, we must go! The Psi Omega, Beta Kappa, too, Greek, Glee and Shakespeare clubs now take our time! Class meetings, well enough while something new, And Junior poems, (rhythm, thought, sublime) ! And books exchanged for many a midnight dream, When we’ve been “out to help support the team,—” Then Physics, with its note book once a week, And other Junior joys unqualified! And Cicero, and William Tell, and Greek, And many a text to English work allied! So long as memory holds our School life dear, We'll think with joy of this our Junior year. And now three years are gone, and we again Upon a fair September morning bright, As Seniors, honored of the world of men, Return to dear old Central with delight. And now with pitying smile, not scornful frown, We are the upper classmen looking down! How eagerly we follow Virgil’s trials, And give to French and Greek our utmost thought! We learn of intersected spheres, with smiles, Absorb all Physiology we’re taught. We store our minds with German, Botany, Grow wise in lore of Ancient History. We hear “When do you speak?” a sad refrain, And sadder still, we hear in answer, groans. Class dues and club dues come and come again, Demanding every pocket piece one owns, Class meetings with their long and tedious hours, Debating contests, just to show our powers. The Senior dance,—a grand affair, indeed; Our disappointment that we can’t have more: And games with other schools,—fair fame, their meed, Our joy when dear old Central manes the score And at the last, our state of hurried cram, For that most telling, final dread exam. O, these four years, how sweet each one has been, Since first we blithely entered Central’s hall! The honors that we’ve striven hard to win, Our triumphs and our failures, one and all! For every day, though joy or grief it brought, Has in its fullness, some sweet lesson taught. And to the principal and teachers dear, Through whose kind labors we have reached this day. And to the parents whose best hope is here, A debt we owe which we can ne’er repay. But gratitude and love to them we give, We’ll try their teachings in our lives to live. We feel a pang of sadness as we part. From kind, dear friends we’ve known these four short years, Great aims and hopes cannot console the heart Nor stop the flow of severed friendship’s tears; Yet as we turn from this sweet past tonight, We see the distant future, shining bright. Harriet A. Ives, '08. Page Seven Clasft ihatorp History, so learned men tell us, is divided into two classes, Sacred and Profane. When I first began to consider our history, I was at a loss to know how to classify it. No one would call it Sacred, and we would be loath to call it Profane, so I came to the conclusion, in spite of the learned men, that history was divided into three parts and that Class History constituted the third division. It seems but a few months instead of four years ago that we began the making of this history. We entered in September, 1904, five hundred and seventy-six in number. There were several unique features about our class, aside from the regular green tint which they say all freshmen have. First, we were one of the largest, if not the largest class that had, up to that time, entered Central. Then, we were the first Freshman class to derive the many benefits of the new gymnasium and auditorium. And lastly we entered and are departing during leap years and years of Presidential elections. . Just what we did in that first year, aside from the studying in which we so deeply indulged, has grown rather dim in the busy rush of the later years. We do remember, however, the bitter defeat our freshman team received from the haughty sophomores. In the second year, things began to look a little brighter for us, although our ranks were considerably depleted by some who had left school and others who had decided during the summer to take a five-year course. In the inter-class football game we easily defeated the freshmen, and thought we were well avenged. It was in the latter part of this year that the school first began to notice us. We had our share of members on the football, basket ball and track teams, who did very creditable work. At the same time the different clubs of the school were on the lookout for desirable members and those sophomores who were fortunate, were given a deeper conception of the word initiation. As Juniors we took on a new dignity but at the same time rather lost our identity. We could no longer so ostentatiously lord it over the under classmen, and, as for being ourselves persecuted, the Seniors were too much engrossed in their own affairs to notice us. However, the year was spent very profitably and enjoyably, and to the credit of the class. One of our members took the second prize in the Leader oratorical contest, even though we were not represented on Central’s team in outside debates. Also the Juniors took the initiative in founding the new club of the year, the Faraday Club. At last, we were all detained in the auditorium one Friday, and Mr. Harris told us that it was time for us to organize. Oh, the importance of that organization and what weighty business wc discussed in our meetings! Also, we made many plans for dances which did not materialize, and instead, many of the Juniors found their way to the Senior party in May. When, finally, the year closed, it was with many happy memories and hopeful expectations that we looked forward to returning the next year. Derby hats, lengthened skirts and a faraway, preoccupied air, marked the new Seniors in the fall of 1907. At last we had come to our own, had reached the goal so long anticipated. Here we met the bug bears so often described to us by former Seniors, the senior themes, and Rhetoricals, but we found them not as bad as painted. The Senior year was the shortest year of all, so full was it crowded with work and pleasures. Hardly were we well started when the holiday season was upon us with its many festivities, also the mid-year exams. Uur Christmas party was the event of the year; il was unusually successful. There have been two afternoon class informals held since then besides numerous inter club dances. Three new clubs have been founded this year by members of the Senior class, with help from the Juniors, the Civics, Commercial and Art Clubs. Altogether, we feel that our class has left its mark in the school and a record of which we may justly be proud. After four years of pleasure and labor togethmer, we are to be separated; a few more days,—then Commencement and the final dissolution. After that what? Who knows? Joseph P. Connolly, ’o8.

While this number is still on the press, elections will have been held which will determine the board of next year. There will be a new Editor-in-chief chosen and several new members will be elected as assistant editors. The departing board wishes to thank the school for the support they have rendered the Monthly during the current year, and hopes that they may give the same to next year’s board, to whom we offer our best wishes. There will be some disappointment felt by the school when this number is issued, because, in spite of what we have repeatedly said, they have been expecting such a number as was issued last year. Owing to the great cost of such a number, we cannot run the risk of financial failure. However, by printing the Roster, as we have done, we hope that this will prove an acceptable memento of the class in later years. Page Nineteen May 19, 1908. To the Advertisers and Patrons of the Central High School Monthly: During the past two years, covering my connection with the Monthly Board, we have endeavored to publish a magazine satisfying the tastes and the desires of its patrons. Whatever success we may have attained is due, first, to the good support given by the advertisers which aided greatly in supplying the necessary funds. To them I extend my sincere thanks for their assistance, without which it would be almost impossible to publish a magazine such as ours. Thanks is also due the patrons and writers who have aided us greatly. To all these I feel greatly indebted for assisting me while serving the Monthly Board. Most respectfully yours, Colman Schwarzenberg, Bus. Mgr. Saturday, May 9, the Olympian club planned a delightful excursion into the country for the day and some favored mortals were asked to join them. Preparations went briskly forward and through the day a special meeting was held to decide final details. Every one was wildly enthusiastic. Saturday everything went off beautifully and everyone had such a good time the only trouble being they did not go. The gods and goddesses await the pleasure of the weather. Among the recent school affairs was the dance given by the G. L. S. for the edification of the Glee club, P. D. C. and Shakespeare club. The afternoon was pleasant to everyone even though the program was cut short. The refreshment room seemed especially popular. “Have you seen the Beta Kappa girls this morning?” This question was the prevalent one on the morning of April 29 and those who had seen them did not need to ask why. But alas, for their beautiful red and yellow ribbons ! They were doomed to oblivion for they created too much excitement and Mr. Harris objected. At his objections, O doubt not, the fair wearers were secretly pleased. After several weeks of secret practice during which time our curiosity increased with every day the night, of the Annual Glee Club Concert duly arrived. A little advertisement given at rhetoricals in the morning did not serve to lessen our interest. In the evening we found the stage decorated with palms and gay banners looking its festive best for the Page Twenty occasion. The program rendered was excellent. The continuous performance and the selections given by the quartet were especially good, at least so the applause indicated. But it was all good even Sissle’s bow. On Friday, May 8, after many trials and tribulations often attendant on elections, the Junior class succeeded in electing its officers. The results were as follows: Edgar Arnstine, president; Ethel Kennard, vice-president; Winifred McLane, secretary; Raymond Buell, treasurer; Hilda Scothan, assistant treasurer; Dean Crawford, sergeant-at-arms. The executive committee were also chosen: Richard Tage, chairman; Helen Curry and Walter Hass. We were entertained at rhetoricals on the eighth with a selection from Dido in the original Latin, excellently rendered by Miss Florence Dueringer. The translation was first read to us by Miss Sacheroff so that we might have some idea of the meaning of the lines which we could not otherwise have had, for at yet, our ability to translate has not reached very high degree of development. We could, however, well appreciate the swing and music of the poetry which was so well given. A great deal of credit is undoubtedly due to the teacher who drilled Miss Dueringer. The members of the Glee club received this year sweaters similar to those given last year. The sweaters were white with a small red C, and were presented to the following members: Director Reed, Messrs. Sissle, Darrow, Krebs, Hudson, Scher, Morse, O’Connor, Schermer-horn, Hinton, Zdara, Cohen, Clark, Maccul-lough, Mitchener, Swayze, Leonard. If you had been in the vicinity of Room 5 Monday, April 27, you would have seen the remnants of a feast royal of which the basket ball teams of Rooms 21, 3, 5, 37, partook. Rumor dares to assert that there were those there who were not in the strictest sense mem- bers of the aforesaid teams. We doubt this very much and prefer to think either that there are some boys on the teams or else that one of the rooms mentioned has recently, very recently been changed into a boys’ room, a Junior room. The Glee club has had, this year, a season most successful in every way. Last year, when the club was organized, it took some time to bring the material up to the standard of excellence which the director, Mr. Reed, desired to maintain, in order that the organization might be fully capable of upholding the honor of Central in this new field of activity. This year, however, the task proved a much lighter one, inasmuch as several of the old members returned to form a necleus 'round which this year's club has been well builded, and concerts were given as early as November. The engagements were as follows: Hudson, Goodrich House, Lane Memorial, Euclid Heights, Elyria, Euclid Church of Christ, Bolton Presbyterian Church, Pythian Temple, Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, Doan School, Home Concert, Sibley School, and North Ridgeville. It can easily be seen that the club did not lack offers for engagements,—the name of last year’s Glee club was such that dates were readily scheduled. Fare more than expenses have been put into the club’s treasury, and, indeed, in the matter of self-support, it is one of the most successful of the organizations in the school. All in all, we may rightly conclude that the Glee club which has this year well proved its worth, will remain a permanent feature in Central’s wide field of student activities. The Girl’s Glee club, organized this year under the direction of Mrs. Parr, has proved a great success, and there is no doubt but that the work so well begun will be carried on to completion in the future. The fact that the time was ripe for the organization of such a club was shown by the enthusiasm displayed when the call for applicants was sounded. Half a hundred candidates were presented, and the number of members—thirty to forty— which at present composes the club, certainly proves no dearth of material. The club concerts given have without exception been well attended, and the advance toward excellence has been encouragingly rapid. It is probable that both Glee clubs will appear together at the Commencement exercises in June, and the concert given at that time will mark the close of successful and promising records for both organizations. It is not generally known, we believe, that within the very walls of our storied building there exists a thriving and enterprising little village—that is, city. Tis true, however, and a little after-school tour of inspection to Room 47 would certainly prove interesting and suggestive to anyone hitherto uninformed of the hamlet, village, town, burg,—whichever you will—known as “Reed City.” You will find among the ah—ambitious Freshmen youths who spend their study hours in said room, a complete municipal organization, comprising a mayor, a council, courts, and department of street cleaning. It was noted in these columns some time ago, that Mr. Reed was deeply engrossed in the mysteries of Blackstone and his successors, and this will probably explain the origin of this unique idea. A set of bylaws has been drawn up in due form wherein it is expressly stated that the object of the officers who are elected each week, shall be to promote the interests of Room 47, and preserve therein continual, everlasting, blessed, and universal peace. Truly the intention is most laudable, and it is to be hoped that if proved successful, the idea may be taken up by other ambitious rooms. Mr. Peabody has lately organized a seventh hour class in Physics of such students as intend to take the Case School examinations this spring. This work in review, in which important and salient points in the study receive especial attention, should prove most valuable to the members of the Physics classes. Announcement was made some time ago of an athletic meet to be held from April 1 to June 1, in which all students may participate. A silver cup was offered by a former graduate of Central for the highest total score at the end of the scheduled time, and trophies and ribbons will also be awarded. Four events, which will be made out by Director Freeman, are to be held each Tuesday and Friday and a contestant may enter as many events as he chooses. In each, there is a certain standard qualification which counts ten points, with corresponding addition or subtraction of points for better or poorer records. The events so far have proved unique and interesting and the race for first honors promises to be close. Had anyone happened to be in the basement one Thursday afternoon while the devotees of “Parlez-vous Francais?” were making merry in the hall above,.he might have been led to doubt the truth of the widely-advanced theory that civilization is ever advancing towards a state of idealism. Some forty conspirators so ’tis rumored, were busily engaged there in investigating personally the palatabil-ity (Webster p. 11031) of certain congealed ices with which our clubs are wont to regale themselves. There was great dearth of suitable instruments for promulgating the luscious food from the cylindrical receptacles, but there seemed to be no hesitation upon that score. In fact it was quite an occasion, nor was the joy of it all marred by the sudden appearance of justly wrathful officers of the law' from the realms above. With this issue the mysterious Belfry Owl climbs down from his lofty perch and hoots his last hoot until we return again to our storied halls from the flowery fields and running brooks of vacation. Perhaps there may be some who feel that in his long and varied career, he has hooted too loudly or too sharply in certain instances, and to all such he offers most humble apologies. Selah! Vale! Page Twenty-one Pace Twenty two (jfave C ubs £. 31. . ott During the past month, we have enjoyed talks by two of the teachers. Dr. Zeligzon spoke to us about “The Dreyfus Case” and Miss Adams on “Sidney Lanier.” At'our last meeting we laid aside our work and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in dancing. 5). C. Jioteg “Little beginnings have great endings.” Such was the case with the Philomatheons this year. Starting with almost no club at all, at the beginning of this year not having enough members to form a quorum, the membership has grown to swelling numbers. The following Juniors were elected during the past month: Dudley Hawley, Alvin Seith, Donald Abbott, Stanley Bates, Rogers Jewitt and Donald Wilson, who were initiated at the last meeting. During the past month the club was entertained by the G. L. S. and the Lycee Francais at dancing parties. The annual banquet was held on the twenty-third of May at Telling’s. It was well attended by the members and invited alumni. Speeches and jokes were indulged in, with Mr. Harris acting as toastmaster. All present will certainly not forget the good time which they enjoyed at this last meeting of the P. D. C. of 1907-8. JBeta appa The club has been enjoying very good programs of late. A very interesting debate was given, “Resolved, That woman should be placed on an equal basis politically with man.” Mr. Walter Fecker also gave us another set of views, this time on Germany. The following members have recently been taken into the club: Louise Bauman, Helen Foote, Frances Lindgren, Irene Love, Helen Ploeger, Nettie Schuenaman and Florence Timendorfer. Jfaratmp Club On April 25, the club enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the home of John Paine on Euclid Heights. On May 5 we were entertained by the Civics club; Mr. Ozanne’s talk on Life Insurance was very interesting and the refreshments which followed were greatly enjoyed. Joseph Newman has recently become a member of the club. bakc0P?are Club Since the successful production of “As You Like It,” on May 1, nothing of great moment has occurred. Soon, however, elections will be held, after which the Juniors of the club will assume authority. S lpmptan Club iiotejs The Olympian club held its last meeting for this year on April 28. We are sorry to break up after a very pleasant and profitable year. S. I. V. iiotes The last meeting of the D. L. V. was an especially interesting one. It consisted of a journey on the Rhine, illustrated by stereopti-can views. Stops were made at the chief cities and most interesting places on the river, and the legends and history of them told by members of the club. E )t Cibica Club The Civics club has had some very enthusiastic and pleasant meetings this month. Reports were read by the various members of the different social settlement work at the Alta House, Goodrich House and the like. A spread was given, in which the Faraday club was invited. Mr. Ozanne gave us a very interesting talk on Insurance. Hereafter, we shall know to insure ourselves, and provide for ourselves in our age. The last meeting of the club was on the 19th of May. Commercial Club The Commercial club held a mock trial at its meeting. Our last meeting ended with a visit to the life saving station. reeb Club The club has now finished its pleasing and instructive work for this year, which chiefly comprised the reading of “The Persians.” We have, however, had several diversions from the regular routine, in the way of spreads and social gatherings. The interest displayed by past officers of the club is hoped for and expected in those of next year. They have been elected as follows: Blanche Watkins, president; Randolph Payne, vice-president; Helen Stevens, secretary; El- vene Zdara, treasurer; Woodruff Richardson, sergeant-at-arms. Jtei Omega The past year of the Psi Omega has been of great value for its members both in a literary and social way. During the first part of the year, great interest was taken in the extemporaneous debates and talks on the subjects of the day. After the admission of the Sophomore members, Parliamentary drill was taken up, in order that they might know something about it for next year. The officers for the coming year are: President, Randolph Payne; Vice-President, Austin Hart; Secretary, Walter Akers; Sergeant-at-Arms, Sterling Graham; Executive Committee, Henry Rogers and Albert Akers. He Hpcee Jfraneaitf The Lycee Francais has had a very successful year. “La Poudre aux Yeux,” by Labiche and Martin, an interesting humorous play was our first literary attempt. For our subsequent literary meetings “L’Abbe Constantin,” a dramatization of the book by the same name, has taught us much of French country life. With the money in our treasury we expect to purchase a set of books on French literature for the C. H. S. library and thus make it the first High School to have a French corner. Near the end of the year a dance was given to the Philomatheons, the Shakespeare club and the Boys’ Glee club. A pleasant time was had, greatly enlivened by some starving mortals, who had not been invited. For their revenge they secretly devoured most of the refreshments beforehand. All in all, though, we’ve had a very progressive year. Page Twenty-three POf 8 Twenty-four Central 8; Wt t 6—Spril 29. Central's baseball season opened Wednesday, April 29, with a victory over the West High team. This victory evens up the two defeats of our basket ball team. Both teams secured two runs in the first inning and from that time until the finish the game looked very doubtful. Central obtained three runs in the fifth which put them in the lead. West braced up but tried in vain to gain the lead. Smith of Central did some fine pitching, striking out eight of the West Side team and allowing them but six hits. Central obtained eight singles and a double from Murphy. The main feature of the game, however, was the base stealing of both teams. Score: CENTRAL HIGH. Players. AB. R. H. O. A.

Until the last inning it seemed that Central would shut out her opponents but a little slip gave Lincoln three runs at the finish. The game was played in the rain and the field was in very poor condition, nevertheless, the game was well played. Krebs of Central pitched a very clever game and was well supported by the remainder of the team, especially the fielders. Hulmek of Lincoln would have proved more effective if he had been given good support by his team-mates. Score: CENTRAL HIGH. Players. AB. R. H. O.

Central’s baseball team won their third victory of the season on the afternoon of May 6 at Reserve Field. Shaw High’s team, the conquered, never succeeded in getting the lead and the game was Central’s from the start. In only one inning, the fourth, did the opposing team get more than one run. At the beginning of the sixth inning, Orr replaced Johnson in the box and after that the Central team got only four scattered hits. Central’s line up had been shifted somewhat, Ford and Hirshfield exchanging places. Smith of Central pitched a very clever game. Score: CENTRAL HIGH. Players. AB .R. H. O. A.
