It was September 4, the birthday of the class of 1909. Then, for the first time, were opened to our infant class the massive portals of Dear Old Central. We were a big, clumsy, healthy class, often bumping into someone, but always managing to creep out of embarrassing situations. We needed, however, the careful watching which all infants require That first afternoon we were tossed about from one teacher to another, and having been arranged in alphabetical order, we were assigned to our different classes, and soon were walking home with many a new-found friend. The majority of our large infant class was settled in peaceful repose, as all infants should be. But the petted classical division was granted a great privilege. 1 am sure I do not know whether we looked older than the rest or younger, but. anyway. Mr. Harrii granted us this favor: As our rooms, which were at the end of the hall, joining the auditorium with the rest of the building, were not finished, we were honored with a trip. Although quite young then, we clearly remember our journey. To our delight, we were transported to Sibley school auditorium, where each room was given an imaginary boundary line. Here four subjects were taught under difficulty, for often we heard such things “If A plus B equals ans, aupzer, bei, mit,” and “Who was amabnni, amabas, amabatr” The grammar school children disturbed us, and I fear we disturbed them, so we soon went back to Central High to recite in the basement. But. as mothers complained of damp floors, again we gathered our much battered books, almost thread-worn from so much moving, and settled in our own auditorium. Again German and Algebra, Latin and English, were intermingled. After we had endured this a short but seemingly long time, our rooms were finished, and gladly we wandering four settled in our own rooms for the rest of the year, which soon went by without anything of much importance. When the year 1907 dawned in September our class was no longer an infant. What graces we had developed! We were now able to stand alone, without the teacher's careful aid. Most of our clumsiness we had left behind, and knew what side of the stairs to go up and come down, which saved many a collision. We were quite grown up, we thought, as all sophomores do, yet how insignificant we were! Our number had diminished a little, as we left some behind, and some left us behind, for they decided working was so much easier than studying. The end of the second year was an exciting time. The only question heard in the halls was: “Are you a member of Beta Kappa” or “ Psi Omega” ? or some such club. How important we did feel, after having entered the clubs! Of course, the red and yellow ribbons made us look ridiculous, but that had to come with “Beta Kappa.” And how small we felt when we held the door open for some girl we knew, and could not speak to her, but we had to endure that because we joined the “Psi Omega.” Now came the third year, bright and happy, for infancy seemed long since passed. We had started to bud now, and lived in hopes of blooming soon. We were very small buds, to be sure, hardly opened at all. But we did not mind that, because we knew that now was the season for little buds, as well as big ones, to come out into society! We looked forward to having the wonderful privileges the seniors had. which seemed so great to us then, but small when we came to have them. At Christmas time the Seniors had a dance,an evening 22 affair, at that! and some Juniors managed to get in, but that dance was not half so popular as our Junior one. About the end of March the Junior class was called together to organize. There was great excitement. Now we could manage to have an informal, ' because we had an executive committee which liked such things! And we really did have a Junior informal!” It seemed to be quite the affair of the season, for everyone wanted to come. Did you say you saw some Seniors there? Is that so? Why! when I think about it, I hardly think I saw many Juniors—mostly all were Seniors.” Our class certainly must be popular! O, classmates, we are blooming full now. for mighty Seniors are we! When we were Juniors we thought our lirst birthday seemed years ago, but how far back it seems now! Just think, we are four years old! We are happy now, because no upper class is here to look down upon us—we can do the looking down. But we do not wish to be too superior ; remember we. too, were once way down there. It seemed now that we passed from nothing into being. Our Senior class soon organized, and then our good times began. But those awful Senior dues! They were always due, and forgotten at the wrong time. Our Christmas party turned out gloriously. Everyone seemed to be happy and having a good time. The mighty old floor of Central High once more held a crowd of young people tripping on the light fantastic toe.” How many gatherings of young people has it held? Some of our fathers and mothers used to go there, and have danced just where we did. Our Senior year was an extremely merry one. We always seemed to be having a dance. What a great time we had at the dance given to the Syracuse Glee Club-! Then there were the “informals and the many inter-club dances during the year. Our class, too, was indeed granted a peculiar favor. The Board of Education decided to give 11s the opportunity, if we wished it, of using more of the teacher’s time every day. This method of conducting school seemed strange to us at first, but we soon found it very beneficial. When it came time for Senior themes and debates our English teachers were eagerly awaiting us, after school, when we went to see them, in order to talk over subjects. No matter how difficult a subject presented itself, we were sure to find the teacher of that subject ready to help us. For a time the familiar phrase of the faculty of Central High was, “I would be glad to see any of you between the hours two and three.” Those who did not go lost something that they will some time regret. Of course, too, we Seniors had rhetoricals awaiting us with anything but a pleasant thought. There was a general scamper in all Senior rooms when the lists came around with the names of the different pupils for certain rhetoricals. The rooms were filled with Oho” and Ahs.” Some just said they wouldn’t speak, but when the awful day came fear kindly left the victim and visited some other poor person. We gave our last evening dance during April, when we had a musical program as a variation. The evening went by before one realized it. and I believe we would all have liked to stay longer. Commencement will soon be here, and after that—what? Dear classmates, when we look back over our four years together, we seem to have gone a great distance. But just a step has been taken, the future will soon be ours to make it what we will. Tonight we are standing with reluctant feet, where the brook and river meet.” and are looking off into the Land of Dreams.” It is filled with happiness and all things bright, and so I wish it will be for you all Angelina Fisher, ’09. c. h. s. '09. 23 Four years have passed and now. as ne’er Ik fore, We view our class in retrospect, and read Between the lines, of joys and sorrows past. The Belfry Owl. our patron, comes to us, That wise old guardian of Central’s lore And friend of those who strive for wisdom's meed. Again, but four years younger, down the halls We seem to pass. Bright gold the sun, the grass Is green, and all is joy outside those walls; Inside, to us come grievances, alas! Elusive room' bring woe to lad and lass The epithet of Flat our spirit galls. Now each responds with zeal when duties bid. And hears, in June, that one year's work is past Successfully, and he's a Sophomore. Whoever has excelled these Freshmen small In innocence, wise Belfry Owl?'' we asked. ‘And who in ignorance? quoth Belfry Owl. The scene is changed, our second year arrives. In German we converse and Caesar's wars Review. While he. who studies Greek, now learns That Sophomore means wise but foolish one ; Societies are gained by him who strives, Some make the team, while all join work and fun. O precious knowledge gained in that short year! A better knowledge of the spirit of our school, With true devotion for old Central dear, For standards and traditions that endear it; And best, we learn, when troubles hover near, To face the issue bravely, not to fear it. ()nc half the vision’s past, each pupil ends, In two more years, his work. To all is due Great praise. Wise Owl, we ask. Of Central’s sons Now who has e'er advanced as rapidly As these brave classmates? Straight the answer comes To us. those non-commita! words. Who? Who? The third year finds us deep immersed in Greek, With German just to pass away the time, And Physics notebook written up each week. The Junior poem, too. with far-fetched rhyme, In Latin our translations are unique, Yet not on these is spent quite all our time. Societies for literary work And clubs for languages and science, too, We join. And our Athletics not to shirk We give the team encouragement that's due : Of parties, too. we have our share this year. While countless joys we in our mind renew. Reviewing it. we find the class remiss In little. Would wo change them if we could? These visions of our younger selves amiss? Well pleased with them, we thus express our thoughts: “Whoboasts to know a better class than this? The wise old owl. approving, says: 'Who could ?“ This last year Mathematics, German. French, And English, Latin. Greek have busied us, And when desire tor work they could not quench, Our teachers had us write a senior theme, And Fridays, on the rostrum, we declaimed. This year from club work we have profited. And hope that each club's standard we have raised W ith new joy- now, our troubles all are fled: The contests gained, our team by vict'ry graced. The parties, concerts, plays light spirited, Make rival classes own our leadership. This retros|H ct is finished and the class, We trust, is worthy of the school. Anew We question Belfry Owl. who made such pictures pass Before us. Tell, to whom is more praise due, And who can take our place as on we pass?” Then sadly Belfry Owl replied, Who? Who?” Dear classmates, teachers kind, much good we've gained From friendships true ami they, like beacon lights. Will shine, as guides, wherever we may stray. And though to you we bid farewell with grief. We turn with hopeful smile toward coming years And there we sec the future shining bright. Gladys L. Griffith, ’09. Class ong (Tune, The Watch on the Rhine.”) 1. The mem'ry of the past four years To all of us its joy endears: While happy school days, shining bright. Will evercomfort. guide, delight. Chorus: O class of nineteen hundred nine. Thy mem'ry like a star shall shine. Thy sons in every clime beneath the sky Will ever guard the fame of Central High. 2. The joys we’ve gained from friendships true Will ever pleasure bring anew, And as we from these dear friends part. We wish them joy with all our heart. Chorus: 3. Our teachers dear, for guidance kind, Enshrined we'll ever hold in mind; And now, to all a fond farewell, While every breeze with praise we swell. Chorus. 25 G. L. G., '09.

He sat in the middle of the circle (the I’.cl fry Owl. of course, 1 mean) with spectacles on nose—he had tried to wear nose glasses, but they would fall off— and his book spread out before him. 1 suspect he was sleepy, but he disdained to show it. now at lea t. I said they were assembled, but the meeting had not convened—far from it. They sat about in various groups and chatted: the Bluejay. as usual, was quarreling with the Warbler—they were always at it. I heard him say: There were, 1 say, there were more there.” but the Warbler hummed serenely on with a casual wink at the others. The Cardinal kept aloof, as did also the Eagle—they both considered themselves a little above the rest. The Kingbird was making industrious notes over in a corner by himself; and they all looked very important with their notebooks. A sharp rap on the desk to call the meeting to order: the birds bustled forward; considerable chattering, whispering and pushing (I forgot to say that the Magpie was there, too), and. finally, quiet. The Cardinal and Eagle exchanged scornful glances, but dared say nothing, for everyone retained a wholesome respect for the Belfry Owl. Straightening his spectacles and clearing his throat, the Owl began: Gentlemen, we have here assembled to hear 33 the reports of the year from the various departments of our work.” We have heard that same statement,” remarked the Magpie, who never could keep quiet, for the last sevente---------At a glance he subsided. To continue,” said the Owl with dignity, this has been a most successful year in every respect, and I feel we owe the fact largely to the Senior class. lie added, bowing to the Cardinal, who was their Patron Saint, so to speak. I am sure we all regret very much that we are so soon to lose them and will be interested observers at their commencement. They agreed to this with emphatic nods. Put though this has been a line class, I feel a growing interest in the coming Senior class, which, 1 hope, you gentlemen share, and I expect them to make a brighter record. At this the Cardinal sniffed. 1 ask your assistance. continued the ()wl, during the coming year with this class, and 1 wish to extend my thanks for your services during the past year. How well they listened to this speech you may guess, for the Magpie anti Bluejay squabbled all the time. Gentlemen. I desire silence, said the chairman with a rap of his pencil, trying to look dignified, in spite of the fact that his glasses had dropped off. During the reading of the minutes, a duty which the Thrush performed, general confusion reigned, but when the Magpie, as first speaker, took the floor silence fell. Xobody would attempt to talk against him. Chairman and gentlemen. he began, as representing the social interests of the school I have several features to mention, the Senior parties in particular. The last one was the success of the season. You should have seen the girls’ dresses and ---- What more he might have said is left to the imagination, for the Owl remarked dryly: “Mr. Magpie, I beg you to remember that this is an official report, and we have no time for extra.” 1 wasn't talking about extra dances,” snapped the Magpie. They always cut out his glowing accounts. “Well, as I was going to say, the halls were elegantly decorated, the orchestra fine, the floor might have been better, but still they enjoyed themselves immensely 'Phe musical program rendered by the Glee clubs was very acceptable.” Of course it was,” put in the Warbler, “it always is.” This remark was ignored by the others, for the Warbler was thought to be too much on the landscape, anyway. Though the Magpie talked for a full twenty minutes, 1 heard not another word, for the din. Apparently, he took no notice of interruptions, for as long as he had the floor he was happy. The chairman was nodding. Be not shocked, fair reader, for it was nearing ten a. m., and late for Owls to be abroad. He recovered consciousness and his equilibrium simultaneously on hearing the Magpie say: It was so late I really could remain no longer.” How late? he demanded. Twelve,” was the reply. Yes, I should think it was,” he said with emphasis, and it will soon be that now.” he added, a little mixed as to his a. m.’s and p. m.’s. A titter ran round the circle as the Magpie. not half finished, took his seat with an air of injured innocence. Mr. Kingbird next. This gentleman, with assumed gravity stepped forward and addressed the chair, then, with a sweeping glance including everyone, he began: “I have been anticipating this opportunity for sometime and hope to present to you some valuable facts about the Oratorical and Debating interests of Central High. Central has made great success in this line during the past year—a fact which the winning of the Oratorical Contest two successive years proves. The increased interest in this line was also shown by the enthusiastic debating in the Senior English classes.” 34 At this the Cardinal looked quisical, and some of the others laughed outright. Gentlemen, gentlemen,” said the Belfry Owl, again nodding. Although we lost the championship in debating, continued the Kingbird, with a vicious I'll-fix-you-after-awhile look in the direction of the Cardinal. I consider the general increase in interest more than overbalances this loss. The efforts of the Junior class in this line are particularly appreciated, and we can expect much of them next year.” Not waiting for recognition, after the applause had ceased, which was not really very hearty, the Bluejay advanced to the center of the ring. I do believe he tried to make his air Shakespearean, but. needless to say. he failed miserably. Gentlemen, he began impressively, we rejoice to acknowledge your generous appreciation of our efforts, and know you will agree with me when I say that this has been our most successful year in some time. The hard, faithful practice which the club put in resulted in the satisfactory production of Twelfth Night; the house was full. this with a glance at the Warbler, and everyone spent a delightful evening. We are proud of our club this year, and will have some very good material to begin with next year. At this juncture he heard a whispered “Much Ado About Nothing,” and in another corner the Warbler was just saying. “Every time the curtain fell it----” Whatever he might have been going to say he never finished it, for a Warbler is much smaller than a Bluejay. you know. “All’s Well That Ends Well.” said the Speaker with dignity, as he took his seat. The applause was so loud that the Owl awoke, blinked as a sunbeam, which had penetrated the gloom, shown in his eyes, and turned around to get his bearings. Finally, he growled out that the Eagle might take the floor. The Eagle advanced with a lordly air. surveying the others scornfully. His voice was deep and sonorous. He spoke for the athletic department of the school. I noticed he dwelt principally on baseball and track work, and perhaps what he left unsaid is best unsaid, but, however that may be, he received close attention from his co-workers, for it paid to be nice to the Eagle. Next came the Warbler’s turn, and he really could not refrain from favoring the company with a little music as a prelude. Then he began, referring frequently to his notes: As representing the musical side of our school life I wish to report for three organizations, the Orchestra, the Boys’ Glee C’lub and the Girls’ Glee Club. As regards the Orchestra. I would like to say that there has been a marked improvement in their work during the past year, which is the result of hard practice. When they appear before the school they are always enthusiastically received, and in the future it is hoped they may be able to appear more frequently. The Boys’ Glee Club has had an especially good season (then followed a list of the concerts which I shall not repeat), but the best of all was the Home Concert of May 14. This has become one of the events of the year and was a great success this season. The members have put in a year of hard work, not unmixed with fun in shape of out-of-town trips, etc. The Girls’ Glee Club has given several concerts this year, and have materially aided in giving good Rhetorical programs. All three organizations are working now toward commencement and class night programs. Here the applause was so loud that the chair had ample time to recover himself before announcing with dignity. The Cardinal.” He stepped gingerly forward. “I stand for the Senior Class.” he said, and after a dramatic pause, added, “and a remarkable class it is. They have a high standard of scholarship and do representative work in every line.” Here he heard a whisper and tapped with his beak for order. On continuing. he said: “Their meetings have been marked for their good spirit and order. Class Night promises to be an exceptional feature this year, and Commencement as well, if we may judge by the speakers.” Btlfry Owl. 35 When he closed no amount of clapping could have aroused the Belfrv Owl, for the meeting had been long and he was very weary. Therefore, the Cardinal, being used to such proceedings, adjourned the meeting himself, and the representatives flew joyously out. their work over for the year. The Belfry Owl is at present sleeping peacefully in the old belfry until next year, when he will resume his duties as keeper of the archives of C. II. S. Miss Smith was the guest of honor of the girls of Central High at their May Festival, held in the gymnasium last month, at which Marjorie Brooks was the queen. Needless to say, Mr. Bathrick and the other faculty members present helped to entertain Miss Smith and to make that day one of the gala occasions of her life. The interscholastic track meet will be held at University field on June 5. and. while the loss of Maloney, last year's captain, will be keenly felt, nevertheless, Central’s team is just as confident of victory this year as they were last year, and great things are expected of them under Captain Russell. A week previous to our Lincoln day exercises Miss Bruot, while visiting her home city of Akron, was present at the Lincoln day ex- ercises held at Akron High, at which Senator Dick presented the school with a magnificent picture of Lincoln which had been in the White House for many years. After the exercises Miss Bruot. who has long been a personal friend of the Senator, had occasion to tell him that Central had no picture of Lincoln to use at her exercises a week later. Senator Dick very magnanimously came to the rescue and sent us from Washington, in time for our Lincoln day. a really fine engraving of Lincoln. as a gift to the school. This year, perhaps for the first time in Central's history, the baseball team has not been a burden on the Athletic Association, and all the credit is due to its manager, George Kerr, and those of the boys who have helped him to finance the team. It was Kerr's idea to pass pledges around to all the boys, he originated the season tickets at Central, it was thanks to him that the senate has a pennant to play for, and all through the season he has been the one to encourage the fellows on the team to play their best all of the time. We shall hope for better things in football next year under Midge and Krug. 30 The annual inter-class meet on March 26 was won by the Senior Class with a total of 64l i points. The Junior Class was second. Earl Mead, ’09. was the high man of the meet. He had a total of i8 }4 points. The following new school records were established: By Russell, '09, 11 14-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash and 26:3-5 seconds for the 220; by Kerr, ’09, 58:3-5 seconds for the 440. Mr. Tomlins greatly interested and delighted us at rhetoricals on May 14 with an illustrated talk on the cultivation and adaption in every-day life of the voice. Mr. Tomlins has only recently returned from a tour of the slum schools of England and Scotland, where he has been doing a great work, and it was a great kindness for him to visit Central at this time. Our lecture course this year was extremely interesting, a fact which will be attested by all who attended. Much credit is due Professor Harris for the large number of excellent speakers whom he has brought before us. ■'Doc” Battersby introduced a new wrinkle in the afternoon gymnasium work. This was the Pentathlon contest, a series of athletic tests which created great rivalry among the different classes. Although closely followed by the Sophomores, the Seniors finally succeeded in obtaining a decisive lead and in the end they won the loving cup presented by Spaulding Bros. Kenneth Means, '09, who was high man in the entire meet, broke the world’s indoor long-dive record of 14 feet 8 inches by covering a distance of 15 feet 7 inches. Austin Hart '10, also passed the record distance. It may be of interest to note that Central’s laboratories, both in Physics and in Chemistry, are among the best of their kind in the country and. thanks mostly to Mr. Bathrick, are completely equipped for all regular class work. The Girls' Glee Club has improved greatly since last year. Their songs have been enjoyed a number of times at Rhetoricals, while they have sung also at Willson. Sibley and Sowinski schools, where they were greatly appreciated. The Glee Club's home concert on May 14 was a great success from an artistic as well as a musical standpoint, the camp scene in Part II being exceedingly well executed. The star performers were the quartet, composed of McCullough. Hinton. O'Connor and Harrow. taken both individually and as a whole. MitcheiKT and A. kers in “.Vo, sir!” did very credible work, while Sissle appeared at his best and reccivel an ovation that proved him the favorite of the evening. The baseball team certainly is fulfilling its end of the contract by its showing so far this season and. after we meet East, we have good reason to think that Mr. Krug and his “Casey’s Revenge” will be in order. 37 bonnet Many a dreamer who can never stray From crowded streets, although he never sees The opening violet or the budding trees Leaving lor lovlier robes their winter gray, Vet does his childhood memory display Bright pictures from the time of youth and peace. The God of Poets. King of Dreams, decrees That he should know in dreams the joys of May.

Helen Truesdale, ‘09. On May 5th a May festival was held in the gymnasium. It was for the most part an exhibition of the work of the Girls’ Leaders’ class, interspersed with selections by the Orchestra and Girls' Glee Chib. After the choosing of the May Queen, and a speech by Mr. Elson, the Sophomores gave their Russian Polonaise. This was followed by the dance of the Jumping Jacks, the Sailors' Hornpipe, Tyrolienne and American Beauty. The last were the Trallon and Holiday Dance of the Freshmen. Central failed to win the debating championship this year for, although East was a comparatively easy victim for our team, the Lincoln aggregation brought forth such fine arguments and rebuttal that the judges de-sided against Central. The subject in the debate with Ea-t High was, '‘Resolved, That the United States should maintain as large a navy in the Pacific Ocean as is maintained by any other nation in that Ocean. Arnstine. Haas and Strauss for Central upheld the af- firmative of the question. In the debate with Lincoln High, Cavan, Steucr and Darnell upheld the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the United States should establish a system of ship subsidies.” The Soccer Team scores: Saturday, October 17, 1908, Central o; Buckeyes, 3.

Of course, the following remarks on the commercial schools in England represent only a small part of his entire report, and of the great care and labor necessary in preparing it. The observations and impressions of commercial and other schools of England by Irving R. Garbutt. As there are no distinctly commercial schools in England, iii isit there were iuurc of a general nature. The education in Eughiiid in the past has been in its spirit and cinphasi- purely classical. The more recent diversion ha been along technical and trade lines and they Intve just begun to awake to the needs of commercial instruction.

No prescribed time is given to these courses, they are completed only when the student can pass the examinations given by the Council.” A typical school of this kind is the Stanley” Evening Commercial Science and Art Center. Medburn St. One of the most interesting educational features undertaken by the London County Council is the establishment of the Trade Center” or technical schools for both day and evening classes, there are a large number of the schools throughout London, the most notable of which i the Northampton Polytechnic Institute. This is a Technical, Social and lb-creation Institute for both sexes with day and evening classes. The educational aim of the Institute is to protide classes in technical and trade subjects with special attention to immediate requirements of the district in which lh - Institute stands. The subjects and work of this wonderful school are so numerous and varied that it is impossible to give it in detail, however, its influence is tar reaching, there arc about three hundred students attending the day classes ami nearly two thousand attending the evening clus'es. Another notable school of this class is the .Shoreditch Technical Institute. The studies of this school arc arranged so that in the first year two-thirds ol the subjects arc aeedinic and one-third technical, in the second year one-half academic and one-half technical. and in the third year one-third academic and two-thirds technical. From a sociological standpoint the London schools are doing a wonderful work, and they are strong in their pedagogical features. Their equipment, however, is inferior to the German or American schools. Of tlie other schools visited in England, the School of Geography at Oxford University is notable for its splendid equipment of maps, charts, lanterns, and other apparatus for presenting the subjects. The line plant of the University of Itirmingham is a model of its kind. Aside from the extensive scope and splendid results of the Itirmingham Evening School the interesting feature was the return to the original plan of retaining tin fees collected from the students at the beginning of the term, the plan of returning the fee at the end of the year having been tried and considered a failure. The American teachers, who visited European schools, should fool greatly indebted lirst, to Mr. Mosely, who conceived this great plan and made these visits possible, second, to Mr. Isrnay, through whose generosity it has been largely carried out, and last and not least, to the English teachers whose courtesy and untiring effort. made these visits pleasant and profitable. Through the efforts of Dr. Zeliqzon twelve large diamond case maps have been added to the department of history by the Board of Education. The girls’ team which won the most games in the girls’ inter-class basket-ball games this year was that of Room 12. Therefore, the Juniors who compose the team have the distinction of being champions in basket-ball this year. The Girls' track meet, held in April, proved very successful this year. The school athlete of the girls is Lillian Stephenson, of Room 44. who had the highest number of points of all the contestants. 40 In the Shot-put, Josephine Rice was first; Helen Caul second; Marguerite Schmidt third. Goal-throw, Lillian Ryan first; Babette YVeidenthal second; Jennie Gunnison third. The Potato Race was won by Irene Zal; Lillian Stephenson second; Hazel Wreck-third.

The Freshmen won this girls’ meet by 944 points, the Sophomores next with 595, Juniors next with 473, and the Seniors last with 3- The Spalding Company promised a banner to the class winning in the girls’ meet. The Freshmen girls are now the proud possessors of this banner. tHje junior Class The class of 1910 has always worked to obtain high scholarship and to further the interests ol the school. It has obtained a place to be proud of in the school work, not only in athletics, but also in all the clubs and organizations. Whatever has been attempted has been accomplished with great credit to the class. Last fall when the 'varsity football sejuad was picked it was found to contain a goodly number of Juniors. Although the team did not have a very successful season, these men worked consistently for the team, and now seven of them are wearing the football “C. The class was, likewise, well represented in basket ball, where four of its members obtained their letter and helped to make the numerous victories possible. Baseball and track have been well supported by the class, several men having won 'varsity honors. Many Juniors have also done good work in the Pentathlon and other contests which have been carried on throughout the year. The girls, likewise, have been well represented in athletics. They have had leaders— class, basket-ball teams, track work, and even baseball. The class has also taken great interest in the different literary, technical, musical and dramatic organizations. Some of its members have been of great service to The Monthly, and have helped to make this publication a success. At no time has the class of 1910 been unmindful of its duties to the old school, and has never failed to join in any movement that would bring honor to the old red and blue. Xow, at the close of this year, our class stands eagerly awaiting the responsibilities which the coming year may bring. The officers that have been elected are: President, Austin Hart; vice-president, Mildred Smithnight; secretary, Edith Taylor; treasurer, Walter Akers. 41 £s opf)omore NO wonder we all stepped so proudly, As we strode into Central’s hall; We were freshmen of undoubted wisdom, And nearly five hundred in all. IN an instant our fond hopes were shattered— Just “fiats’’ or just D’s as you please. What’s meant by that queer “three-star special ?” (We began to feel weak in the knees.) Never go up or down on the left side, This, the Monthly’s first issue declared, Was one of the cardinal virtues, If for high-class men’s value we cared. Ever heard of that process called flunking?” 'Twas what some of our class did in June. It’s hard on the temper—this flunking”— As some of us learned all too soon. Time came when our tests were all over. And our first year of high” at an end; Almost sadly we turned from its presence. It was quite like the loss of a friend. Every ''flat looked ahead to September. When a soph’more, a wise fool he'd be; But he found it was just like the freshman, He was only a common C. Even the queer three-star special (No longer a mystical sign) Was just the same as it used to be. What its meaning is. you may divine. Nine clubs, and all anxious for soph’mores, A chance for each one to belong To the Farady, Civics or Art Club. And D. L. V., too. or I'm wrong. Class history Except when permission was granted, Xo rhetoricals gladdened the D’s; But now we all go every Friday, For surely you see we are C’s. Leaders' classes in gym. work and strength tests, Calisthenics and folk dances queer; An occasional spread or an outing, Other privileges of our C year. Every joy that belongs to a soph’more, Every woe that’s the lot of a C; All the prides and the hopes of a freshman, All the trials and wrongs of a D. Very well we remember and keep them, They are pages in history for us; I'he history of our education— The first years at Central were thus.” Ever since that first day in September (We were graduates newly commenced ) We have looked to that next graduation. When our learning has all been condensed. Not till after we all have been juniors Can we hope to be seniors at all; So we’ll wade through our soph’more exams now And come back with our hopes in the fall. Marcia Henry, ’ii. 42 history of Class of 1912 Belfry Ctrl. (Only three manuscripts were received as contestants for the $2.00 pri .e offered by The MONTHLY for a Freshman Class History. The awarding of the prize was, therefore, very difficult, especially as each contained many good points, but none combined all those necessary for a good class history. In printing the history, however, the liberty was taken of uniting the best parts of each of the three contributions, and hence we arc equally indebted for the following article to Edna Dueringer.Marklcy Drown and Herman Segcr.] On the afternoon, for bless your heart, we insignificant, no-account flats were not allowed to present ourselves until post-meridian on the afternoon of Tuesday, September S, 1908, our class of 500 Hats was formally enrolled as pupils of Central High School, proud to become students of the oldest high school in the State of Ohio. We were escorted to the auditorium by a proud and haughty senior and there assigned to our classes, scientific, classical or commercial, as our tastes—or, our parents—dictated That was all for the first day. When about two weeks had gone by we, like “old hands.” began to single out the “Gym.” for the chief place of amusement. The Pentathlon contests soon took place. The Freshmen, represented by basket-ball teams and on the track, made a very respectable showing while on the “gridiron.” The second football team, which had several Freshmen players in its line-up, accomplished a great deal. These same Freshman players will be back next season, and, without doubt, some of them will play on the ’varsity team, helping Old Central. Many of the Freshmen boys joined the Boy’s Leader's Class. The Girl’s Leader’s Class docs not take in Freshmen, but Freshmen boys and girls took part in the Gymnasium exhibition. The girls also joined in the gay May Festival. The Freshmen girls won the track meet in a contest with Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors. The girls, moreover, formed one basket-ball team in each room. Each of these teams played all the other teams for the championship. Room 34 won the championship and Room 46 second place. The races, which followed the basket-ball season, were won by Room 35. A great deal of material was found in this Freshman class for the (Irchcstra. Among the Freshmen members of the Orchestra are the violist, two first violinists and the ’cellist. I11 our class work we learned that Latin had its troubles and that algebra was no “cinch,” but with history and English we had many diverting remarks. In history one pupil stated “Elizabeth was the second female king of the Tudor period,” while another bright youth, when asked for a contrast between the reign of Mary and Elizabeth, said: “Mary reigned five years, Elizabeth forty-five; contrast, forty years.” One little boy confused English History and Mythology in his mind. When he was called upon to recite in history he jumped up and said: “Father Heaven married Mother Earth.” “Well,” laughed Mr. Jones, “our lesson does not begin quite so far back.” So. with pleasure, as well as work, in the classroom, and with exercise and amusement in athletics, our Freshman year has passed. Let us hope that the remaining three years of our High School course may be as happy and interesting as the first year, and that we may all graduate from dear old Central as fine young men and women as our principal and teachers can desire. 43 Ct)e jfflontfjlp IBoarb Kenneth W.

The Monthly was founded early in the year 1900 by Horatio Ford, '00. He, as first editor, assumed the responsibility for the success of the new paper, and to his energy and enthusiasm Cleveland owes its only High School magazine. The names of the Editors-in-Chief since Horatio Ford are: Edwin Chesnutt, 01; W. Clarence Malin. 02: Allen Brett, ’03; F. Charlton Mills, 04; Elbert Peets and Malcolm Vilas, 05; Baird Tewksbury, 06: Robert Coltman, ’07; Joe Connolly. ’08. Since its establishment only two radical changes have been made in the form of the Monthly, namely, an enlargement in the size of the pages and the abolishing of a stock cover. During the past year the editors have given their best work to the Monthly, and Volume Ten. Nos. 1-9, is a record of the earnest and thoughtful efforts of the Monthly Board: but to Wallace G. Dunbar, before all others, is due the fact that the Monthly, in the face of adverse financial conditions, has passed with great success through the year ’08-09. Though not equaling, perhaps, on an average, the high literary standard of some of its predecessors, the Literary Department for the past year has been well worth the expediture of time, effort, and money, which has been necessary in its publication, and has contained many original and novel features, such as the special Travel and Old Central numbers. It has tried to give all the news of the school, in a brief and attractive fashion. Prizes of fountain pens, instead of cash prizes, were offered at the beginning of the year for the best prose and verse contributions. The prize winners, as decided upon by the Faculty members of the Board, are as follows: Class A—For the Best Prose. First Prize—Marie Sherman, for her story, Mariar and Little Sambo.” Second Prize—Gertrude Gager, for the articles signed “Poky.” Class B—For the Best Poems. First Prize—Freida Cuba, for the poem Goodnight.” Second Prize—Galdys Griffith, for her translation from the Iliad of “The Prayer of Chryses. Class C—For Best Literary Work Submitted by a Boy Lower in Grade Than the Senior Year. Prize Winner—Clayton Gibbs, for his story, “The Dinner Party.” Class D—For the Best Literary Work Submitted by a Girl Lower in Grade Than the Senior Year. Prize Winner—Marguerite Crighton, for her story, “The Defender. For the best Sophomore Class History submitted to The Monthly Marcia Henry received a prize of $2. The same amount was given to Edna Dueringer for her History of the Freshman Class. 46 ®ljc (girls’ Httcrarp Society We, the girls of the G. L. S.. have always tried to make our society the host of its kind by becoming acquainted with the best in literature. This year we spent one meeting a month in reading from some of the shorter plays of Shakespeare. The other meetings were spent in studying the modern short story-writers of our own country. Occasionally this pro- gram was slightly varied by a musical program or an illustrated talk. We have also had several of the teachers address us and we have greatly enjoyed the talks which they have given. We extend to them and to Miss Smith, the best of our advisers, a hearty thanks for the many ways in which they have aided us. We leave to those who will succeed us our best wishes and earnest desires for the future prosperity of the society. Officers of tlje O. H. £ . First Half. Second Half.

This club seemed to be on the down-grade, when a suggestion by our Principal. Mr. Harris, brought it back to its former standard. The “Congress’ plan was suggested, the Pliilomatheons representing the Senate, with the Psi Omega acting a the House of Representatives. The members of the Philoma-theons acted as Senators, each one representing a State. A President and Secretary of the Senate was also elected. The noble Senators' of Tlie United State'” framed laws which were to benefit the school, city, State, and nation. Each Senator felt the responsibility which rested upon him in this important position and often raised his voice in heated debate. The adoption of this plan has truly proven a success. This success was also due to Mr. Smith, who showed great interest in the club. _nd Mr. Ozanne. who instructed the club in the Rules and Methods of the Senate. We hope that the Senate will become a permanent part of the club's work, and that the future will receive as much benefit and enjoyment from it as the present club.

Until very recently, we held our meetings every other week, but finding that we could not accomplish very much in so doing, we have ended the year in meeting every week. Perhaps the most important event in the club’s career was the combination formed with the Auctochthones to make one classical club, which still kept the name Olympian. This combination besides being very successful, has proved most enjoyable. A new constitution has been adopted, making some needed changes for the better. The work of the Club has been the reading of Ovid’s “Metamorphoses. For several meetings each member prepared translations. Under the kind supervision of Miss Campbell and Mr. Tanner, the work was found very interesting. It is the earnest wish of every Senior who leaves the Club that those, who have been chosen to carry on the work next year, will spend a most profitable and agreeable time.

At the first meeting which took place in the early part of the fall, the following officers were elected: President, Walter Haas ice-President, Margaret Finney Secretary, Pauline Harris Treasurer, Charles O’Connor Scrgeant-at-Arms, Henry Jenks During the first term, the club had quite a novel scheme, which proved intensely interesting as well as beneficial to the members The programs at the meetings consisted of papers and reports by the individual members. which together with the debates, afforded excellent entertainment. At the beginning of the second term, the newly elected officers who resumed the duties of the club, were as follows: President. J. N. Darrow Vice-President, Gertrude Allison Secretary, Ruth Hutchinson Treasurer. Deane Crawford Together with the change of officers the work of the club was turned into a different field. It was decided to adopt Looking Backward” (by Bellamy) as a source of study and pleasure, which aroused much fervor in the discussion ol numerous passages. Soon, however, the many duties of the ever-busy Senior began to multiply and the well-known, time-worn soliloquy, “To study or not to study, was oft repeated by their mind’s tongue. But as some one has said. “Discretion is the better part of valour,” and as the fear and dread of examinations hovered over the brave Seniors, the majority decided in favor of the affirmative. Thus, not to interfere with the duties of the Senior, the Civics Club, after a prosperous year, was formally discontinued. At the time of such action the following names appeared on the roll: Walter Haas, Margaret Finney, Pauline Harris. C. W. O’Connor, Gladys Poppleton, J. N. Darrow, Henry Jenks, Robert Bower. Raymond Buell, Sylvia Spurney, Virginia Waller, Louise Tettlemeyer, Burt Weiss, Ruth Hutchinson. Gertrude Gager. John Marsh, Deane Crawford. George Kerr. 54 ClVK .''-111 fjaUcgpearc Club Founded 1898. Just as long as the Shakespearean dramas remain as the highest ideals of classic literature, the work of the Shakespeare Club will remain a the most beneficial and pleasing that a school society might take up. It is surely a valuable year’s work if the members thoroughly familiarize themselves with at least one of Shakespeare's plays; for in no other man’s works is to be found so much truth, wisdom and beauty as in his. Cpon the opening of the fall term the club began with a little diversion from the regular course of the year’s work by preparing a one-act farce. My Lord in Livery. for Christmas Rhetorical?. The cast of characters was: Lord Thirlmere..............Jonas Ivopclowitz Spiggott............................Jay Ilalle Hopkins......................Wallace Dunbar Robert .................................Ralph Mock Sybil Amberley........................Angelina Fisher Laura..................................Gladys Poppleton Rose....................................Leila Dueringer The play went off without a hitch, and seemed to be greatly appreciated by the large, enthusiastic audience. Retween labors, however, the members are wont to enjoy themselves in various pastimes. On the afternoon of February the 5th. together with the Civics Club, they entertained several other clubs at a dance, while a very pleasant evening was spent at the home of Miss Bruot. Then commenced the real work of the year, which the members, however, claimed was not work, but a delightful recreation. At any rate, they went at their recreation with great earnestness and zeal. The result of their efforts and of Miss Bruot's valuable instructions was shown at the performance of Twelfth Night given April 30.

AKI 0 IX B Z )e Upcec Jfrancate The work of the French Club of the class of ‘09 has been found by the members to be most interesting and beneficial. The meetings have been devoted partly to the reading of two French plays, partly to talks on Paris by I)r. Zeliqzon, and also to practice in French conversation. We finished “La Poudre aux Yeux by Labiche and Martin, and followed it with L’Abbe Constantin by Cremieux and Deseourcelles. We have found them both very interesting—the fact that Dr. Zeliqzon explained the historical references in such an interesting way. added much to our enjoyment. His talks on Paris, some of which were illustrated with views of that city, were also a source of great interest and benefit to us. As a result of our practice in answering questions in French, although we by no means claim to be fluent conversationalists, we feel that we President: First Term—R. Heinmiller Second Term—C.

On March 3. by the invitation of L'Alliance Francaise (t° which the “Lycee Francais is affiliated), we attended a lecture by M. Marcel Poetc. on the Boulevards of Boris, at the Colonial Hotel. On March 5, we were one of five clubs which acted as hosts at an informal dance in the main hall. Furthermore, this club of '09 has established a precedent which we sincerely hope will be continued by the members of “Le Lycee Francais in succeeding years. We have presented to the “Lucile Library” of Central High School, a set of French Poems, La Lyre Francaise. Officers Secretary: First Term—M. Maloney K.

However, the election of some Juniors into the society remedied this deficiency and the customary round of debates, speeches, mock trials, and parliamentary drill proceeded with vigor. Xeedless to say, we got ourselves most beautifully tangled up in the latter. One day late in October, a youthful Weston proposed a jaunt to Chagrin Falls. At about eleven o'clock on the appointed day, a solitary youth might have been seen tramping over the hills and far away, his only companion. a package of lunch. He was the Psi Omega journeying manfully to Chagrin Falls. But to return to Cleveland. The annual banquet of the society was held at the Colonial on the evening of Friday, January the eighth. The attendance was much larger here than at the promenade of the preceding October. The repast was unexcelled in every particular and the conversation brilliant. to say the least. Most of the banqueters afterwards decided to improve their education by a visit to the theatre, and they proceeded forthwith to enjoy the improvement process After the Xmas vacation the society took up the plan proposed by Mr. Harris, of the Psi Omega becoming, in effect, the House of Representatives with the Philomatheons as the Senate. It has been so successful that we all feel capable of assuming the responsibilities of real Congressmen if the chance were presented to us. Late in March two Congressmen conceived the highly commendable plan of a House of Representatives for two and a crowded visitors' gallery. I n fortunately the scheme did not find favor with these thus summarily relegated to the side lines and it was promptly squelched. In closing the club wishes to express its sincere thanks to Mr. Lewis for his help in the work which has been accomplished and which will doubtless be of great value to us in future years.

One meeting of each month has been devoted to debates, one to book-reviews, one to parliamentary drill and one to current events. In extemporaneous debating we gained much confidence as the year advanced and we have also been progressive in parliamentary drill. The current events were always interesting and entertaining. Two exception- ally entertaining book reviews were given on Holmes and Barrie and besides the reviews selections were read from these authors. The club is very grateful to Miss Keffer through whose care and advice the meetings have been made more helpful and interesting. On March 5, the long expected dance was given, which was pronounced a great success. We feel sure that the work will be carried 011 next year with the same faithfulness by the new members and that they will live up to the high standard of the Beta Kappa as we Itave tried to do.

A strong nucleus of last year's members returned to the fold with the coming of September. and 'round them there has been builded what is undoubtedly the finest glee club that every represented Old Central, or indeed, any other high school in the State. Unceasing practice and steady, consistent effort on the part of both Director F. H. Reed and the members, resulted, as was to be expected, in turning out a club fully capable of upholding the high name which Central holds in almost every field of student activity. If the clubs to be shall equal or surpass the mark set by the members of naught nine” in the years to come, then shall they have achieved a measure of success which is rarely attained within the limits of a high school student body. A list of the club's engagements for the past season speaks far more eloquently than mere words of the name and reputation by which the Central High Glee Club is known, and is certainly a record which any like organization might well be proud: Ashtabula, Elyria, North Amherst.

Darrow, O’Connor. Hinton and McCullough. Their rendition of a varied repertoire takes rank among the best quartet singing in the city, and, truly, there awaits them a career of success when class days and “naughty nine” shall have passed. 04 mt . %. v.

W Jfarabap Club The Faraday Club, of Central High School, was formed in 1907. for the purpose of continuing the work of the classroom in the science department of the school and has proved very interesting and instructive to its members. The meetings, held every other Tuesday, are devoted to experiments, discussions, talks on scientific subjects, biographies of noted physicists, illustrated lectures by honorary members, and an occasional debate. We have subscribed to three scientific magazines that the members may be acquainted with up-to-date scientific conditions. However, beside the scientific meetings, several spreads, excur- sions, and good times have been indulged in by the members. Many thanks arc due Mr. Peabody for the assistance he has given us, by good advice and many interesting talks, and with his help and that of our presidents, Louis Brickner and Joseph Newman, the Club has flourished. We also wish to thank Walter Fecker for his very interesting lectures. We now look forward to another successful year and the Seniors leaving it in charge of the Juniors wish that the future members may successfully carry on its work and receive from it all the benefits we have enjoyed as members of the Faraday Club.

The loss from graduation was heavily felt, depriving us of Senta Rosen-thal, pianist; John Paine, saxiphonist; Harold Neale, bass player; Arthur Keetcli, first violinist. and Harold Davidson, drummer. The vacancies at piano, drums and violin were easily filled, but a bass player was not obtained until the first of March. Considering the new material, the orchestra has done remarkable work. This year it made its first appearance outside of school and school attractions at a dramatic recital at Channing Hall, in December. During this year the orchestra was organized and a constitution was formed, thus making it a society in every sense. The officers under the new constitution were as follows: J. Woodruff Richardson, president Anten Cooper, vice-president Frances Caldwell, secretary Joseph Avalone, treasurer Raymond Buell, sergeant-at-arms The new constitution provided for special meetings held the first Tuesday of the month, at which the lives of the great composers were studied along with their compositions. A selection rendered by a member of the club concluded each literary meeting. The composers studied were Beethoven. Wagner and Ver- di. The orchestra also broadened in its social line this year by inviting the Art Club to a dance held in the lower hall. The orchestra is comj osed of the following instruments: One piano, seven first violins, eight second violins, one clarionet, one flute, two cornets, one viola, drums and traps. The following are the names of the members: Joseph Alvone. clarionet Raymond Buell, flute Louise Cafarelli. first violin Blanche Caldwell, bass viol Frances Caldwell, first violin Lloyd Challinor, first violin Mabel Clarke, piano Etta Cohen, second violin Anten Cooper, first cornet Llyod Fedor, first violin Irvin Blueck. second violin Louis Kustein. second violin Harry Xavoves, first violin Benjamin Xiedel, second violin Joseph Pellich. second violin Albert Akers, first violin J.

Marple, faculty, member and director 70 in Orchivtka Cl)t rt Club Some branch of art, especially mechanical drawing, has long been a part of the course of study in Central High School. Two years ago a class wa formed for pottery work: last year applied art became a regular part of the school course and holds a popular place there now. At the same time several Junior and Senior girls, realizing the true worth of art effort, organized the Art Club for the purpose of promoting the interest of art in Central. This year, with the influence and help of .Mrs. Harris and .Miss Henry, the club was reorganized and work was begun immediately. Membership was opened to boys as well as girls. At present we number twenty members—we began with six. Early in the year the study of the History of Art was taken up and was pursued with interest from Primeval Art to the Italian Renaissance. Part of each meeting was spent in the designing and making of the club pins The design made by Henry Jcnks was chosen, a perspective view of an Egyptian pyramid. As a whole, the club has experienced a most successful year and it is our hope that the members of succeeding years reap the same benefits and pleasures which we have enjoyed and maintain the high rank of the club in the school.

Admission was only by a vocal test and no limitation as to class was imposed. An effort is made not to admit so many Seniors that graduation would cripple the club. Last year the club appeared several times before the school at rhetoricals and also gave a number of outside concerts. The most notable outside appearance of the organization was before the Musical Section of the Nation Educational Association, where a distinct triumph was scored for unity of tone. elasticity of rhythm and spirit. This year an altruistic spirit has pervaded the members to such an extent that they have sung in one down-town mission and given several concerts in the series of entertainments provided by the Board of Education in their Social Center Course. These efforts have been so well received that .Mrs. Hyrc has already asked for additional engagements for next year. The sentiment is strong in the club, that its chief office is in every way to contribute to the musical advancement of the school. Officers President: Winifred McLane, ’09.

Cur Ci.i'b WHERE - SHALL - HE-GO • IN -THE - BIG • CROOL-WORLK 76 Jfootfaall The football season tor 1908 was a striking one to say the least. Unhappily, the unusual part of it consisted in the number of times Central came out with the small end of the score. Seven times out of eight the team left the field “unhonored and unsung. and in that one exception they tied the score in the second half. When practice began in late September there were candidates of assorted sizes and lots of them, but in all that motley crowd from the smallest “flat to the largest Senior there were only two veteran varsity men: Captain Earl Mead and Bob Smith. Coupled with this lack of experienced men was the fact that “Doc” Battersbv, although he had the reputation of never having coached a losing team, was a new man in the school and had no knowledge of the peculiar qualities of the various candidates. The season started with an unexpected defeat from South High and after that there was no stopping them. Once in the West game they rallied and, through the splendid work of Midge Goodman, succeeded in ticing the score. In the East game they showed their real ability and rolled up more points against that undefeaetd team than any other team had during the season. Too much praise cannot be given to George Kerr for his helpful work as assistant coach. We can even now hear his “Hurry up, fellows!” Also, the second team comes in for a share of the praise. The “scrubs came out faithfully for practice, and played most of the High School second teams. They had a more successful season than the varsity. Midge Goodman has been chosen to captain the team. Here’s hoping he will lead his team to victory in the old-fashioned Central style! Officers Louis II.

Captain Bobby Smith, however, was the only varsity man back and once again Coach Battersby faced the same problem, that of making a varsity team out of entirely new material. The season had hardly started before “Doc had the large squad weeded down to four teams. W e easily won the Chagrin Falls game as a starter. The next week University School gave us the small end of the score in a hard fought game. The team rallied then and successfully defeated Glenville, Lincoln and South High Schools. The last half of the season was not so successful. We won from “Tech High, but were defeated by West, New Philadelphia, East and Shaw. The team had one trip—to New Philadelphia, where they lost by one point with a score of 24 to 25. The East game was equally disappointing. The score at the end of the lirst half was 8 to 4 in Central’s favor and the joy of Central's rooters was unbounded. In the second half Central remained ahead until the last half minute of play, when a basket from the field gave the game to East. Central captured third place in the Senate race. Dave Schulman has been elected captain for next year. Yolk. Jake Schulman and “Midge Goodman will be “also present. and with this nucleus there should be no difficulty in capturing the uppermost place.

At first it was indeed doubtful whether Central would be represented at all. but some of the old spirit that in former years won many games and made Central famous manifested itself by the student body subscribing $125 and putting itself on record as desirous of having a baseball team. Another wise move of the baseball management was the issuing of a season ticket to all home games for the nominal sum of 50 cents. Again the students rallied to the help of the team, and 200 tickets were sold in about twenty minutes. Some were claiming that the cause of poor attendance at games was the lack of Central spirit, but when a student body of a school the size of Central raises a sum of some $250 it surely indicates that school spirit is still there and only seeks a chance for expression. When spring finally came around it was found that only five of last year's team were in school, and that R. Smith. J. Schulman, Gentilly, Hirschfield and Wade were the remnants around which Central’s 1909 team was to be built. At the first call for baseball candidates sixty-five boys reported, among whom there was some excellent material which, with the experience that will be gained this year, bids fair to give Central a championship team in 1910 and a contender in 1909. We were fortunate in having back this year as captain and pitcher R. Smith or “Bob,” as he is better known, who has the distinction of earning more C’s than any other single athlete who has represented Central in the past, but owing to sickness and other urgent calls for his services, Sisel, last year's catcher, had to quit, and it was found necessary to switch Hirschfield from his old place at second to behind the bat, and from present work this battery bids fair to rival those of years gone by. Taking Hirschfield from second left but one old player in the infield, and J. Schulman, by his great work in the early tryouts, made his place at first base. The remaining infield positions, second, third and shortstop, were left vacant by graduation. and so practically an entire infield had to be built up. The competition was keen and long until, finally, Goodman at third, Coates at short, and Means at second won out, and were selected as regulars. The outfield started with Gentilly and Wade, last year’s regulars in center and right field, and Seaman in left, but the superior hitting of Wilcox and D. Schulman soon won them a place, and now they are regulars in left and right field. Fieg, by his ability to hit in a “pinch.” is carried as a utility infielder, while Seaman and West have the call as utility outfielders. The second team, made up entirely of undergraduates, are putting up a strong article of ball, and some bid fair to beat out the regulars for their positions, which means that ’varsity members have to be up and doing or one of the “subs” will finish the season in their place. The pitching department this year bids fair to develop several “stars” for next season, and Barnes, Spurney and Fertel ought to develop into some of the best twirlers Central has ever had. With victories over South and Lincoln already packed away, with decent weather for practice, with a continued development as that exhibited so far this year, Central ought to be a foremost contender, if not winner, of the Senate championship this year. 82 I$A5£ 15 M L Crack The chances of having another championship track team seem quite bright this year, even though we shall miss Maloney in the long runs. H. Fussner in the high jump, and Mc-Omber in the hurdles and pole vault. After training faithfully all winter the team had its first tryout in the interclass meet which was held here at school March 26. This meet showed comparatively well the ability of the members of the team. Floss and Smith looked good in the long runs. Russel. Mead, White-house and E. Fussner in the sprints. Smith Gentilly and Heinmiller in the weights. Smith and Gentilly in the high jump. Gains in the pole vault and Mead in the hurdles. At the time of this writing the meets scheduled are the Quadrangular meet on May 29, between Shaw. East. University and Central, and the Interscholastic meet on June 5. The track team holds the trophy given by Governor Herrick for the High Schools in the State, and if we come out first in the Quadrangular meet, we shall hold for another year the trophy for that event which we have now held for one year. The track team has held the Interscholastic championship for many years and deserves the support of the school as being our most successful branch of athletics. With this support it should have another successful year and hold its title. Officers Clayton Russell, captain Guy Gray, manager Walter Akers, assistant manager armors Russel. Mead. Hilberer, Seeley.

This committee was first organized about four years ago. It was formed to protect the rights and privileges of the students in the boys’ locker-room, and did such commendable work at that time that it has become a regular organization in our school. Backed by Mr. Harris, this group of students has practically unlimited power in dealing with misconduct in its department. It also has a large and good influence with the boys. To these two facts may be attributed all its good results. For the past four years the most upright and reliable fellows in the school have been selected as members of this committee. It has been a special honor and mark of trust to be a member of this body. The fellows selected have felt this ami lived up to that standard. Two of the members, Russell and Baker, deserve special praise for the excellent work that they have done. The committee as a whole has worked well, and accomplished much. It has honored and respected its members of the past; it passes on a clear record and hearty congratulations to its members in the future. W. Geo. Kerr, Chairman, Geo. Whitehouse, Secretary.

The girls gave an exhibition of their apparatus work, after which the Sophomores gave their dance, Russian Polonaise, the Juniors and Seniors their three dances. “Tyrolienne, ’“Waltz Minuet and American Beauty. Besides the exhibition, the Girls’ Leaders’ Classes have had a May Festival, Indoor Track Meet, and Relay Meet, as well as three or four cross country walks, which all the members have enjoyed greatly.
