We’re the Class of Nineteen ’lcven, Breaking records is our theme, In scholarship and every team. The Class of 1911 had a big task before them when they attempted to outdo the preceding class. Whether they have succeeded or not we leave you to say. The Class Day speakers were: Grace Murray, Historian. Kathryn Abbott, Poetess. Arthur Bleich, Orator. William Scher, Humorist. Julia Fox, Pianist. Noble Sissle, Vocalist. Irwin Glueck, Violinist. The Class Day Committee was as follows: Marguerite Crighton, Marie Finley, Marcia Henry, George Baldwin, Grant Fewsmith, and Denton Swartwout. The following were Faculty choice for Commencement: George Baldwin, Mildred Kaufman, Paul Devor, Helen Ruggles, Denton Swartwout, Rivella Shapiro, Elizabeth Lyman. The class chose Miriam Culp and Daniel Ellinger. The class is much indebted to Mr. Sutton who has proved a good adviser to the class. 22 — program Setting—New Opera House (by anticipation.) Time—Tonight. May 19, 1911. Performers — Class day committee and officers: Philip Darnell, George Baldwin, Grant Fewsmith, Marie Finley, Marcia Henry, Elizabeth Lyman, Bernice Hart, Miriam Culp, Marguerite Crighton. Enter Philip (left box, happy): ' Hello everybody. (He looks blank at discovering empty boxes.) “Oh, how nice of all the officers to come early! Enter Betty and Miriam and Martin Maurer (right). In establishing themselves in the box they place a box of candy on the box railing. They wave to Philip. Philip: “After Mr. Harris has gotten the opera house for us, we ought to be here on time. Miriam: Yon might collect some dues while you wait, for Denton ” Philip (he looks significantly at box of candy) : “The way to a man’s industry is through his sweet tooth.” (Reaches vainly for candy, as the girls offer it teasingly.) Enter Bernice (talking to someone outside. Left box. She bumps into Philip. Both exclaim, “Oh, excuse me. Bernice: “Oh, Philip, is that you? But you know one really couldn’t miss you.’’ (At the same time Philip speaks.) Philip: “Wonder you wouldn’t look where you were going! This isn’t the gymnasium.” Miriam (pounding edge of opposite box) : “Order, order over there!” Enter George and Marie (left box). They wave to the others, exchange greetings; at the same time Grant and Marguerite enter right box. George (surveys the class in the audience proudly) : “Not a bad looking class, is it ?” Grant: “No, since you’re not down there. All look down; point out people to each other. Betty: “There is the class athlete!” Girls (in excited chorus): “Where?” (They lift opera glasses and scan the audience eagerly. Boys exchange glances.) Philip: “And there’s the class beauty!” Boys (in excited chorus): “Where?” (Grant pulls out a huge telescope and gazes through it. The girls exchange glances this time.) Miriam: “What makes this box so empty ?” Marguerite: “Why, Marcia isn’t here yet!” Marie: “While we are waiting, let’s have a speech.” Chorus: “Let George do it!” (Applause, as George steps over the edge of the box and comes forward. He assumes a mock dignity and begins.) “This uncounted multitude before me and around me, proves .the feeling which the occasion has excited. These thousands of human faces, glowing with sympathy and joy, and from the impulses of a common gratitude, turned reverently to heaven, in this spacious temple of the firmament—firmament—’’ (Groans from boxes.) “But your agitated countenances and heaving breasts inform me that this is not an unmixed joy and. therefore, I turn from it.” Chorus: Please do.” He begins, seriously—a real address to the class. — 23 — Class History $reaibent’s: peecf) This is class night, and probably my last opportunity to address the Class of 1911. Commencement night, some dignified member of the Board of Education will preside. Then for once we must be serious. But tonight we can have a good time. Tonight we can lay aside care for the morrow and can recall the pleasant memories of yesterday. Four years ago we came to high school to become wise. Now we have succeeded. We are about to depart. How changed we are! Recall what you were four years ago—so young, so innocent of knowledge! We have learned much, too, from things not in books. The best thing that can come into our lives, at this time or hereafter is, I believe, the personal contact with those around us. In high school, more than anywhere alse, we form those lasting friendships which are so precious now and become more so as the years go by. We shall travel various paths in the world outside, yet we shall never forget the friends we have found here. There are other associations pleasant to recall. We shall never forget the kindly influence of one club or another in this great old school. Many a classmate has been coaxed from his shell of indifference into various other school activities which have developed in him the ability to cope with men and events. This ability may mean his future success in some position of honor in the world — as, possibly, Chief of Police, or a member of the Ohio State Legislature. But we have one friend whom we shall never forget. Who is the one who has in so many ways fostered our various friendships? It is Mr. Harris, who has kept the class together. He has, moreover, taken a personal interest in each one of us. For Mr. Harris, our principal, we have nothing but the sheerest gratitude, respect, and love for all that he has done for us. Whatever may befall us in life, we shall ever remember his guidance and his care. Enter Marcia (left box) breathless. “Oh! I’m late! What’s that about Mr. Harris? I missed it.” Chorus (all): “You missed it, all right; it was great!” All consult programmes. Philip: “Here comes the History.” (He tears his hair in mock alarm.) “I hope Grace will be discreet in relating it.” Class J storp N the high tower of Central High School sits the Belfry Owl brooding. He is puzzled, for it is eight o’clock, and he still does not hear that long bell ringing. There are no sounds of the boys, as they take three steps at a time in their frantic effort to reach the room door before its peal ceases, nor of the girls, as they rush breathlessly in, their hats awry, perhaps only to be greeted by Mr. Bath-rick, who is accustomed to hold receptions in the office for late comers. It is not Saturday nor Sunday, and so the owl is worried. With a sudden flapping of his wings, which sends a shower of dust through the darkness, he leaves his high abode and descends to discover the cause. At the third floor landing he pauses, and peeps into Room twenty. No.merry sound of laughter greets his ears, and once inside, the walls look bare and strange without the usual array of the latest spring fashions. Bewildered the owl flits down to the big hall, where silence reigns supreme. It is dark and dreary, and in the absence of the merry throng of students, all seems strange and unnatural. The office door is closed, and eagerly — 24 — peering through the transom he finds that here too is desolation. The vigilant eyes in the oil paintings now stare only on vacancy. Mr. Freese from his dull black frame looks down with that same calm expression on the Monthly desk, tidy as usual—but alas!—no longer are the books of George Baldwin and Grant Fewsmith strewn over the top, amidst the pile of Exchanges. Where are our athletes, who usually hover around that desk in the corner? Not even Mr. Feil sits working, making out those fatal tardy slips. But he is no doubt busy in the halls. How strange it seems without Miss Thompson’s cheery “Good morning,” as she glances up over her typewriter with a pleasant smile! A sudden sound causes the owl to turn hastily, ashamed to be caught away from his abode so early in the day. He flits quickly back to the stairs and then to the tower again, pausing only long enough to hear the janitor remark, “Yes, last night was Commencement. ‘Commencement’ repeated the owl, perching again in a corner amidst the cob-webs. So that is the cause.” For a long time there is silence, at last broken by words, almost inaudible. The owl slowly muses to himself over the class of 1911. “It scarcely seems four years ago I watched them as they came up the front walk. I sized them up as usual, for who better than I knows the ways of classes that have made records in this building? They were a proud, independent looking set that bright September afternoon. If handsome faces and pretty clothes had been the steps to high scholarship, or gaiety and good humor the requirements for success, I would have vouched for that class anywhere. They had a fearful time of it that first year. Such thoughtless creatures they were. They couldn’t even remember the orders given them regarding the use of the stairways, let alone Latin rules. Day after day they were greeted at the top of the stairs by a stern faced teacher who remarked severely, “How many more times must I tell you to keep to the wall going up, and the baluster coming down? You can’t fall up the stairs.’’ They were slow to learn that they were insignificant ‘flats’ who knew not and knew that they knew not. By the discouraged looks, I judged that sum-esse-fui-futurus and sagen-sagte-gesagt were mastered with difficulty. I knew it would be hard for them” he added with an ' I-told-you-so sort of an air.’ The old owl paused, lost in thought. “But persistency ought to win success,” he continued with a nod of his wise old head, “and again in 1908 they returned to continue their efforts. Sophomores!—wise fools, who still knew not—but alas! knew not that they knew not. Bravely they labored with Caesar in building that complex structure across the Rhine, and when they reached the other side, they gladly set fire, not only to the bridge, but also to all knowledge they had of its construction. Proudly indeed did some few, whose averages had risen and passed that terrible barrier, seventy-five, wear the Psi Omega or Beta Kappa club pins. “I watched them with interest in 1909, that same happy throng, now juniors, who knew but knew not that they knew. Room sixty was then added to their programs for one hour a week, and ‘Friends, Romans and countrymen,’ although haunting them in their sleep, utterly forsook them as they stood on the platform in oratory. Pleasure-loving, they never missed an opportunity for a lark, however. What a merry crowd gathered here for the junior informal! Junior cloak rooms became witnesses of hard studying, but also of light lunches. Some had been admitted to the home of the immortals and were enjoying the pleasures of Mt. Olympus, if sight reading in Ovid might be called such. Others were sharing the benefits of the G. L. S. (originals for instance) of the Art, Shakespeare and Faraday clubs. But as I feared,” continued the wise old owl with an emphatic nod of his head, “pleasure came before study with them. One afternoon, flitting down by chance Class History — 23 — Class History for a look about the building which I supposed to be empty, 1 saw twenty-four boys sitting in Room eighteen. Afternoon session fell with a heavy hand on that class of 1911.” The owl shook himself slightly and after some time continued, “But in spite of all, they came back ten months ago for the last time. Tall and dignified seniors, who knew and knew far too well that they knew. Then indeed began the busy days. Tennis tournaments, senior themes, debates, club spreads, and rhetoricals were constantly discussed. How I longed to go down and enjoy an appetizing lettuce sandwich with those who thronged the hall on the day of the sale! How too I wished that I might enter and discover the mystery of that cosy corner or the attraction in Room four at the senior dance. From conversation later, I judged the Philomatheons must have had a jolly lime at their banquet, where a salad fork so mysteriously disappear- Marie: We have a brilliant past. I wonder what our future will be?” Grant: “That’s easy—this bunch is doomed to a theatrical career.” Miriam: “We’ll start an ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ troupe and let Philip be the bloodhound.” Grant: “I '11 be Little Eva.” Marcia: “I’ll be the ice.” Miriam: ‘Order, order—let the music sound.” Violin Solo. Marie: “That’s as fascinating as the ‘Pied Piper’s’ music.” Philip: “What an opportunity for—” Marguerite: “Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats.” (Girls wildly clutch their puffs. All consult programmes.) George: “I think I sec Mr. Scher in the audience.” (He looks about inquiringly— ed, and after when they visited several dreamy places of especial interest to the boys. As the day went by they talked of the ’Philly’ dance, the Shakespeare play, the home concert and class day, and at last these are all gone, and even Commencement is over.” Slowly nodding the old owl turned with a misty look in his eyes. “But after all, they have achieved more than I predicted that bright September day, and they are going forth well fitted by this worthy school, to take up their duties in the world. With that motto forever before them, ‘Tene bene et alta pete,’ may they reach with success the highest round of the ladder of life.” The last words were almost inaudible, as the wise old head of the Belfry Owl nodded, the eyes closed, and he sank into a sweet sleep which brought him pleasant dreams of the fame and glory of the class of 1911.

If there has, take him out without making a fuss. For this is the night which belongs to the class; 'Tis the last one of fun altogether, alas! Just four years ago, in the month of September, (This is not nineteen-forty, you’ll kindly remember) Great stores of fine knowledge we thought we'd amass, And we started out boldly, this brave, fearless class. And so we assembled, to find out our doom; Our first meeting together, in this very room; Will you ever forget how we climbed all the stairs And sank down exhausted upon the front chairs? And the fall to our hope, when on coming again We took the same seats and were plainly told then: That the place for a Freshman up here, was the rear; And the looks of those Seniors stood out very clear! Still that was the least of our great load of cares: The Seniors’ disdain, and the Juniors' proud stares. Twas the name that they gave us: base Flats we were dubbed. And because of the term were right properly snubbed! The next year we came back to continue our way; No longer “fool youngens” as Riley would say; But this time we entered old Central’s big doors We entered distinguished, as wise Sophomores. Oh how haughty and proud did we stride thru the hall With that look of the Sophomore: “I know it all”; ‘Those Freshman, how tiny! If we looked like that It s no wonder they nicknamed each one of us Flat!’ And next we were Juniors; we hardly believed That so soon such an honor we’d really achieved. Clubs kept us so busy, that scarce time we had To get all our lessons, which made us so sad! Closs Poem — 27 — Class Poem For afternoon-session the Board did hatch-up That pupils delinquent at once might catch-up; A horrid device, which it grieves me to mention. And I fear I am losing all students’ attention. So I’ll leave that and speak of the time when as Seinors, With dignified airs and right lordly demeanors, We strutted about with all things in our rule, Were to all lower classmen decidedly cool. And the parties we had, could one ever forget them, When all went just right, not one thing to upset them? The fun that they caused is most hard to explain And I know I’d attempt that great subject in vain. But memories sweet of the joys we’ve had here, Will recall them again throughout many a year; Soon even this night, our own class-night, will be To each one of us here, a fond memory. Even now looking into the future to come, We foresee a fair day when we all shall come home; And changed though we be, our reunion shall prove We’ve not changed toward old Central, her memory we’ll love. —Kathryn Abbott, 1911. Marguerite: “But where is the prophecy? Aren’t we to know our future?” Philip: “An hour ago ’twas nine, and in one hour more ’twill be eleven. We haven’t time.” Grant: “Deliver me from prophecying one hundred and—fates—my own is bad enough.” Marcia: “I’d rather die young and spare the class the agony.” Marie: “Let’s have the Glee Club Seniors warble us off in lots!” All: “Good idea. Splendid.” (Enthusiastic calls for the Glee Club, who come up and sing the prophecy.) flroptjecp jfeong To the tune: “Kelley’: Now your future you would know, You would know, you would know; What you'll do, and where you’ll go, Oh, oh, where?

From that very first, given during December, to the most recent, the club dance, they have been a success. The very first dance always is important, because—well, simply because it is the first. On this occasion, though snow and rain vied with each other in making it disagreeable outside, within all was gay and festive. The floor was fine, the decorations attractive and that room at the left a busy corner. The dance committee who had charge was as follows: Grant Fewsmith, Chairman Dorothy Masters Letha Touby Erma King Clarence Schwegler Philip Darnell Walter Zucker After this a few informals held sway. The regular “Senior informal' and the club dance were added to our list of social functions. Later a most informal gathering took place after the spread given to the boys who ushered in the “Egyptian Princess,” by the Treble Clef Club. Although no ices were served (for who could wish them after a spread) the participants, even to the orchestra of one, had a jolly good time. The informals have been as a whole, as full of life and fun as one could desire. The last Senior formal, the greatest event among the social activities of the class, was held April 21. Did ever a hall look so inviting and was ever a dance so successful in every way? The lower hall, trimmed in an entirely new style, looked very picturesque. The programs were of white leather with a gold “C.” The very atmosphere of the place urged all to be merry and gay. To the following students we owe the success of this last and long to be remembered dance: Philip Darnell, Chairman Kathryn Abbott Clarence Schwegler Dorothy Masters Ned Downer Reba Carter Douglas Phillips Letha Touby — 34 — Social — 35 — HE gym was aglow with lights. People bustled about, bloomered girls fluttering here and there, boys, balancing themselves for a last time on horizontal bars. At eight the confusion somewhat checked, the audience settled down to enjoy the annual gymnasium exhibition. It was surely to be enjoyed. Leaders Class’ girls danced in their most graceful fashion and the boys formed wonderful pyramids. There were, moreover, several special features in this exhibition. A wrestling and boxing match was held and as a last feature, there was a most unique public initiation of Flemming Blair, Josh Standen and George S. Kelly, the three new members of the gymn committee. Taken in all the exhibition this year was very successful. Among other social activities of the school was a dance given April 15, by the Philo-matheons, at the Colonial Apartments. All present had a jolly good time and only wished that such happenings might take place oftener. According to a notice on the board of Room 9, many are the Seniors who still have visits to pay Miss Bruot. Don’t forget, ye mighty Seniors, that Commencement is but a dream until those all-important visits are paid! March 31, the big day! Maybe that Athletic Association bazaar wasn't about the biggest thing that’s struck Central in a long time! It certainly was a success. From 10 o’clock till 1 the halls resounded with cries of Ham! ham!” or “Lettuce sandwich!” Ice cream and cake!” “Vote for the pretty girl and popular athlete!” The hall was full of people and noise, and classes nearby had a hard time hearing themselves think. At one o'clock an interesting program was presented in the auditorium, in which the Glee Club, a magician, a soloist, a lightning sketch artist, and an amateur troupe vied for the admiration of the crowd. About $86 was realized on the bazaar. The C. H. S. Shakespeare Club gave their twelfth annual big show’’ in the school auditorium on Friday. April 7. A short Civil War time sketch entitled A Call to Arms,” and Shakespeare's “Taming of the Shrew” were presented. Howard Wertheimer and Edna Webster starred as a U. S. army captain and a southern girl in the former, while Jeannette Kanner and Win. Scher played the Shrew and etruchio. The audience was large and appreciative, and owing to Miss Brout’s line training and assistance, the performance went through without a hitch. 30 — Bebating school the size of Central High ought to have good representative material in all its activities. We have put forth upon the athletic field winning baseball, basket-ball and football teams. What is more, we have supported these teams with commendable school spirit. Xot merely the pupils, but also the faculty have given their heartiest co-operation in encouraging athletics. An athletic association has been created to facilitate the organization and maintenance of athletic teams, and it is to this that much of our success in athletics is due. If we have done this in athletics, why should we not do the same in debating? Debating as well as football or baseball requires support, perseverance and training to make it the art that it ought to be. Indeed it is much more difficult than any branch of athletics. A baseball or football player doesn’t need to learn new points, new plays, new rules everytime he plays a game. On the other hand, a debater in the preparation of each debate, must obtain thorough knowledge not only of the subject he is debating, but also of many subjects indirectly connected with it. To do this he must study books for weeks, absorb their contents and extract the wheat from all the chaff written upon the subject. Thus though he may be well trained in the mere delivery of his material, he must at every debate acquire new knowledge. Not so with the baseball or football player who has the essentials of his sport always at hand and who needs practice only before each game. Thus it appears a debater needs great perseverance, much general knowledge and training. In Central High School at present there arc not the facilities for a debater to attain these requirements. Few opportunities are given him to discuss current topics which are often subjects of debate, so as to give him thorough preparation. Not that we are lacking in a good coach, for no better man than Mr. Ozanne can be obtained in the entire city to act in that capacity; but what we do lack is a purely debating organization. In a school like C. H. S. a permanent debating society ought to be established to consist of at least twenty members whose sole object is debating and public speaking. Admission to the society should be obtained by speaking before the leader of the organization, as is now done to obtain a position in scholastic debates. The degree of eligibility for admission might be decided by the faculty and a general standard established. Debates between various members could be held each week. A series of debates should be arranged, as is now done in senior English classes, so that each member may have a chance at debating and chairmanship. After each debate a general discussion of the subject should ensue among all the members. On certain days the leader of the society might call upon certain members to participate in an extemporaneous debate upon some current question. This would be not only interesting but even exciting. It would also disclose the aptitude to debate and the interest that the member has shown in organization by continually keeping pace with the great current questions which confront the nation. In this manner a high standard of debating might be attained and the best ability selected for the interscholastic debates. Surely if such an organization were created in this school, Central would be able to keep pace in its debates with its former athletic victories and would have no cause to lose two debates a year. An organization such as this, supported by the school, would elevate Central High in the minds of its rivals as a force to be feared in intcrscholastic debates. George Weiss, 1911 The Art Club has voted the Juniors as future artists into its society: Ruth Smith, Agnes Corcoran, Howard Findley, Joy Hart, Dorothy Oviatt, Verna Keayes, William Atkinson, William Osborne, Amy Wood. Belfry Owl — 37 — Btlfry Owl N Saturday afternoon, April 6, the Senior girls of the Cleveland high schools were entertained by the Freshmen of the “Woman’s College.” After an informal dance, held in the gym, they assembled in the chapel, where Mr. Clemens gave an organ recital. The classrooms and dormitories were then thrown open to the inspection of the visitors. Returning to the gym, where ices and wafers were served, they brought to a close a very pleasant afternoon. The Glee Club Home Concert this year had one of the largest audiences in the history of the club. The selections were exceptionally good. The “Hungarian Orchestra” brought forth applause after applause, and Fart III presented a very attractive scene. The program was as follows: PART I.

Not long ago a passerby might have seen a crowd of boys straightening their ties and smoothing their hair preparatory to an entrance into the sacred depths of the Treble Cleff Club room. A shove, a push and they were inside. What a sight met their eyes! Sandwiches and cake, salad and candy! The Glee Club girls were entertaining all who had helped them in the operetta! With a sigh of resignation, the boys settled down to work. In a wonderfully short time nothing but empty plates as left to tell the story. Afterward, as a necessary aid to digestion, they assembled in the lower hall for an informal dance. Spring is coming although King Winter disputes it. Count the number of absentees, think of the unprepared lessons! Are these not surer proofs than those of the snowstorms ? The Junior class has had several meetings and elected the following officers: President, Howard Findley; Vice-President, Hilda Mos-kovitz; Secretary, Leah Brathburd; Treasurer. Charles Bernstein; Assistant Treasurer, Hedwig Peiser; Sergeant-at-Arms, William Brett. — 38 — Z )c biation Club N response for opposition to the Lakewood Hi Aviation Club, the only club of its kind in the city, some students at C. II. S. conceived the idea of forming a club. At the first meeting many near ‘‘sky scrapers turned out and the club organized. Mr. Ilgenfritz of the M. T. department was chosen as “coach and the club started. At the first tryouts, despite the high wind, many fine flights were recorded. We then clamored for a contest with our rivals! No responses coming from our many requests the club began to ‘‘breakup.” At the end of the second term only two of the members who originated the club remained, the President, V. Chamberlin and Vice President Armin Parsons. At last a “meet was arranged for but on account of the death of Lakewood's coach, Mr. Clark, it was postponed but it will be held before school is closed. Three cups are at stake, the most valuable being set at $75 and C. II. S. needs one or all of them! The record flight of the large machines is held by our noble Vice President, 310 long feet and the best flight of the small machines is claimed by the President, a record of 243. These can surely be stretched longer at the “meet !!! Any pupil who desires membership in the club, can be obliged if he but demonstrates a model capable of at least 100 feet, the flight to be made before the club. Among pickles and sandwiches and lots of other good things, the Leaders Class’ girls enjoyed their annual spread. “Ye mighty Seniors, after much thought and worry, chose the following students to fill the all-important offices of class speakers: Class historian, Grace Murray; poet, Kathryn Abbott; orator, Arthur Bleich; humorist, William Scher; vocalist, Noble Sissle; pianist, Julia Fox; violinist, Irwin Glueck. The last Senior dance of the Class of 1911 has come and gone, and only the memory of that great night remains. How attractive the hall looked. It surely was a credit to the decorating committee. The music and ices were all that one could wish and as for the program, white leather with an Old English “C, they were beyond describing. ’Twas a dance to be long remembered. As rhetoricals have been rather irregular this year, they have been enjoyed when given more than ever. Especially was this true of the day when Mr. Fagan spoke. His appearance was a surprise to all. His talk was so plain and to the point and cetainly not without humor that it could not but be appreciated by everyone. The following members of the Senior class formed the class day committee: Marguerite Crighton, Marie Finley, Marcia Henry, George Baldwin, Grant Fewsmith and Denton Swartwout. The division of labor was as follows: the girls wrote the play; the boys managed the stage scenery, giving many valuable suggestions as to stage presentation. The annual May festival has had to be given up this year on account of the overcrowded condition of the gymnasium. Girls’ 2ttf)leticg Although the regular gymnasium work • started late, nevertheless this has been a successful year. As usual the upper classmen coached the lower classes in basketball. Last fall the girls became very interested in field hockey and behold! they played it until December. The regular work in Leaders’ Class commenced then and continued until the ’exhibition,” March 31. But alas! no May ribbons or fluffy dresses will parade the gym this year at the “festival, which has been put off, owing to the stress of work elsewhere.

Many of these fail to take into consideration that a meeting must proceed smoothly and quickly and with as little commotion as possible or chaos ensues. It is contended by some that the appointment of tellers by the presiding officer is a fault to be overcome. But if that custom were abolished. there are but two other alternatives: torial either the faculty adviser or group of Junior officers, if such there be, would have to appoint them. Often the presiding officer knows as many, if not more, in the class than the faculty adviser. Consultation with others would consume time and the class would grow restless. It is to be regretted that in a group of classmates anyone should doubt the integrity of a teller or of a voter. Nomination by acclamation also has its adherents. A class meeting is always more or less confused when members are rising in all parts of the house for recognition. Moreover a candidate might have quite a number of supporters, none of whom felt like standing up and nominating him, through timidity or modesty or they might all be waiting for some one else to do it. The nominations would be closed and that candidate would have no show. On the other hand, if a general ballot is taken for nominations everyone has a chance to express his or her choice for office and those receiving the highest number represent more nearly the class choice. Dissatisfaction is often shown over the appointment of committees. Some claim that it gives too much power to the president and that he appoints his own friends. Often, the president knows quite well who is capable of performing certain duties and who is not, and if they happen to be friends of his. that surely is not to be regretted. They will work better together and the work will be done more quickly. Objections are sometimes made that a dance committee decides what shall be done and how much a dance will cost without the class voting on it. At first glance, this appears to be a serious fault. But consider: the committee has been authorized to spend money by the executive committee. Who elects the executive committee? The members of each room. Then surely they must consider the action of their representative as having their sanction! Too many times the charge comes up that a clique” is running the class. Go into any organization in the whole world, business, social, or otherwise and you will find certain ones who have forged to the front. It is the members of a class who have the requisite qualities and abilities who are to be found in these so-called cliques as is shown by the fact that their size varies as the number of capable members of the class increases or decreases. No doubt some mistakes have been made by the retiring class, and for them we are sincerely sorry. Our successors will soon have the opportunity to tackle the same difficulties. We wish them success. Each year as the months of May and June draw near the question comes. Shall we have an Annual ?” In a school which has a regular monthly paper it is difficult to get out an annual, chiefly because the student body does not desire to pay as much for a large publication, which follows a series of smaller ones, as they would if there was only that one publication. Every time an annual is published a debt is incurred and each time the Monthly has to step up and pay the bill. If it should come to a decision between dropping the Monthly or the annual, it would perhaps be better to drop the annual. Everyone knows that a community is much more closely bound together by a daily paper than by a weekly or a semi-weekly publication. So it is in this case. The school is more closely connected when it receives the news month by month than when it gets a summary of the year’s work at its close. Nevertheless, an annual makes a good souvenir to keep in remembrance of high school days. This year we have endeavored to publish a magazine more on the order of a Class Day Book and we hope it will meet with the approval of the student body. — 42 — GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY (girls’ literary Society NITIATION into the G. L. S.—what memories it brings back! One scared girl at a time entered the sacred precincts—she tried to smile at the assembled multitude—a cold, searching stare met her at every turn— in melancholy, sepulchral tones someone addressed her—the trial had begun. We stood the test as best we could, and what a pleasant, social time we then enjoyed! In the following meetings the Seniors set before us a high standard of their literary and musical work. We felt that we would be doing very well if we came up to it when our time came. There was always something cheery and sociable about our meetings. We came to them feeling that here was a rest from the daily routine of school work, and knowing that we would hear something well worth while. Two girls, whom the program committee chose with an eye to their mutual in- clinations planned how best they could make the meeting a pleasant one. They had their choice of anything for which they felt a personal interest, limited only to literary and musical lines. It was the personal feeling in the talks that gave them vim and enthusiasm. Added to this work was the original.” How we groaned at the idea that we must make up something of our own. But it didn't prove to be such a trial and undoubtedly did us good. What spice it always gave to our meetings! We carry away with us dear memories of this society. With the steady hand of Miss Helen Smith to guide us, we have spent many a pleasant hour. To her we owe a great deal. And now, here is to you who take our places, and may you thoroughly enjoy all that is in store for you in the G. L. S.!

Mr. Smith, who has held the position for many years and who has performed his duties well and faithfully, was compelled to resign, as he wa sleaving Cleveland and the United States to take a position in China. The club was quite at a loss for a while to find a successor, but discovered, much to their gratification, an alumnus of the Philo-matheons, one who seemed qualified in every way to hold the position. We have not been disappointed, and we heartily thank Mr. Clarence Leavenworth for his care of the club and express the hope that he may continue with it for many years. During the year we have had talks by various members on current topics, parliamentary drills, debates and other meetings of a more special character. On January 9 a joint meeting was held with the G. L. S. in their club room. Dr. Zeliqzon spoke to us on the Passion Play. Afterwards refreshments and an informal dance were enjoyed. Mr. Ozanne addressed us on January 29 on the topic, Public Questions-’ and I low They Should be Judged.” On March 20 Mr. Lewis entertained us with a delightful account of his European trip. On March 1 we held our annual banquet at Telling's. The occasion will linger long in our minds as being one of the pleasantest we ever spent. Our club room has been remodeled and we now have one which will bear comparison with any of the many beautiful rooms of the school.

The club program was made out at this meeting and it was decided to alternate ancient and modern art at the prospective meetings. Many delightful talks have been given this year for which we especially thank Mr. Oviatt and Mr. Keller. Instead of making the pins it was decided to purchase them, the resuit of which is a neat little flint with an Old English “A” raised on the surface. The memories of the spread will linger long in the minds of the members, as it was bliss to be alive—and eat. Election of the Junior members took place on April 6. As we leave we extend our best wishes to the on-coming class and hope that they may receive as much benefit and pleasure out of the club as has the Class of 1911. Officers; First Term. Second Term.

Illustrated talks were given by the members on places in Europe, interesting to students of Latin and Greek. Some of the subjects were: “The Sculptures from the Parthenon in the British Museum, “The Rhine as the Romans Saw It.” “The Statute of Perseus in Florence, Italy” and “The Site of the Camp of Manlius.” The initiations of the new members afforded much amusement, though it must be admitted that the ordeals were rather trying. The feasts of ambrosia and nectar have added to the good things. It is Miss Campbell’s kind suggestions that have made these enjoyable meetings possible.

The beginning of the year was spent in reading Shakespeare’s Coriolan-us.

The characters were as follows: Sir Federigo.......................Will Sher Lady Giovanna..................Edna Webster Elizabetta ................Jeannette Kanner Filippo .......................Clayton Gibbs The play was very well received by an appreciative audience.

The members declared this a wholly delightful and pleasant task. The result of their untiring work and Miss Brout’s most efficient and instructive coaching was displayed on April 7, when, before an audience which completely filled the assembly room, the dashing Petruchio and winsome Kate, as well as every other member of the cast won laurels such as amateurs seldom succeed in winning in Shakespearean drama. “A Call to Arms” was also presented as a curtain raiser.

We devoted most of our time to the reading of two French plays, La Poudre aux Yeux,’ by Labiehe and Martin and “L’Abbe Constantin. by Cremieux and Discourcelles, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. There has been a marked improvement in our conversation, greatly aided by the French songs to which we devoted part of the time at each meeting. We have also become acquainted with Paris through several illustrated talks which Dr. Zeliqzon gave us. Although our knowledge in French is limited we owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Zeliqzon, who has led us out of the “oui, oui and “non, non” stage. Officers; President ....... Vice-President ..

Talks by our faithful adviser on scientific subjects of the day have been enjoyed by us immensely. He even went so far as to take us with hm on a long imaginary trip to the Philippines, where we became acquainted with the funny little ox carts that go up and down through the streets. Not only has Mr. Peabody given us lectures but the various members have had a chance to air a little superfluous wisdom. We have had only two initiations this year. A new system of initiation was experimented upon. Those who happened to be the uphappy victims will tell you what shocking occasions they were.

We have had some splendid debates, both prepared and extemporaneous. On November twenty-third, we enjoyed a every interesting talk on Mark Twain, given by Mr. Severance, with whom he traveled. The excitement at Christmas time was unbounded. when all were anxiously waiting for the doors of fifty-one to be opened to disclose the great surprise. And it was a surprise! The room was a bower of red and green, and the candy and gifts, with the accompanying limericks were beyond description. We had as our guests on March ist, Miss Sowers, Mr. Lewis and Psi Omega; after the literary work of the day we enjoyed a social time. During the year there have been acquisitions to our club room in the form of a piano and several beautiful pictures. The retiring members wish to extend their heartiest gratitude and thanks to Miss Keflfer and Miss Martha Smith for their excellent advice and help, and to wish the utmost success to the new members who are to take up and accomplish the work of Beta Kappa.

One of the most interesting features of our literary programs this year was a mock trial in which our present president was tried for robbing the Cleveland Trust Co. of $50,-000. He was honorably acquitted. Our picture was taken at Horton’s on April 4, and the annual banquet was held at Telling’s on April 10. After the banquet, the entire club, with the exception of Mr. Lewis, who had another engagement somewhere ( ?) else, repaired to the Hippodrome. Never mind where we sat. A promising lot of sophomore members have recently been taken into the club, and well initiated. They made their appearance as a receiving line, in full regimentals, on Monday, April 17.

The exception was the now-famous Ionic Quartette, so well known in this city, organized in this school about fifteen years ago. In the fall of 1906 the faculty thought that the school needed another musical organization besides the orchestra, and Mr. Reed, a former member of the Oberlin Glee Club, volunteered to promote the project. Among the charter members of the club were Sam Jasper, the News Boy tenor; Ernest McCullough and Noble Sissle, freshmen; Bert Hinton and Fred Van Duser, sophomores; Will Cohen and “Cliff’ Stilwcll, juniors; Harold Gaines, senior, leader, and Vera Kennedy, pianist. The club made its initial appearance at rhetoricals and sang a negro love song, “Honey” and an encore piece “Towser Jenkins.” Thus began the career of one of the greatest musical clubs Central High or any other High School in this state ever had, and I might say that many a college would be proud of. But the question comes in one’s mind, why is it that the Central High School Glee Club is of such high rank and standing, not only in Cleveland, but all over the northern part of Ohio? On further questioning one would ask, have not other high schools in the city and other cities as good singers and individual stars? Certainly, ours is not the only club. Plenty of schools have better singers and have turned out better performers than the so-called stars of this club ever were or ever will be. We have heard of some base ball players who are simply “useless” in one team and when they get in another team they arc the idol of the town for which they play and that town congratulates itself that their coach had the good judgment to know good raw material and had the power and knowledge to develop it. So might it be said of Central High School. We need to congratulate ourselves on obtaining the services of such a faithful and hard working coach or director, as Mr. Fred H. Reed. I have been associated with him for five years in the Glee Club work and of all the musical directors and managers of different companies that I have met and worked under, I must say that Mr. Reed has more personal magnetism and earnest spirit that makes one just feel like working his very best all the time than any of them. And so from year to year the Glee Club has been improving, a fact which is not to be wondered at, when at the first of.each year Mr. Reed and all the old and new members determine that they will eclipse the record of all previous years. And so I hope it may continue. And if Mr. Reed resigns this year, as he firmly says he will, the good work should not stop. The work this year has been very good, in fact I can safely say that this year’s club has been the best singing club we have had in the last five years. The reason for it is that the voices were more evenly balanced then in any previous year. Mr. Reed, naturally, knew better how to get results in a shorter time and it was well that he did, for be it known we gave our first concert with but two weeks rehearsal, and it was an out of town engagement. We did not have to leave town in a hurry but on the contrary we got a return engagement for two months later. From that engagement on, the club has had that courage and confidence that means succ'ss and nothing but success. May this spirit be doubled in all the glee clubs from year to year and may it also spread to other clubs so that that spirit which exists in Old Central may inspire other schools. N.

They entertained the school at Rhetorical and several entertainments. But all those who have heard them at Rhetoricals and Shakespeare Play this year, are convinced that their 'efforts have brought them even better success than formerly. There were sev- eral additional pieces including flute, ballad horn, and drums. The material was good, and under the perseverance of the leader, Mr. Marple, the result has been very satisfactory. There is always opportunity, and we hope that each year the organization may enjoy as successful a year as the one just past. Officers President ..........

Although the team did not win the city championship, they successfully defended the Senate trophy. For a while it looked as if we would have no coach or captain. Merrill Barden, 1909 coach, could not be persuaded to return, and also Capt. Whitehouse managed to make himself scarce at the beginning of the term. But on securing R. D. Elliott as coach and the return of ''Lizzie ’ the real work began, with the result of Central rolling up 441 points to their opponents’ 51. Our first game was with Tech who confidently expected to trim us up. Somebody had to lose, but as long as it was not Central, no objections are in order. Central 15—Tech 5. Next week Commerce suffered. We stopped at 46 to o, out of respect for our friend Mr. Weimer. Following that, South were victims at 10 to o. We made Lincoln dance to the tune of 12 to 3, in a fiercely contested game. After letting West score in the opening quarter, Central braced and played a remarkable game. Halfback kicks, forward passes worked like charms, and there was no stopping Central until they rolled up a score of 24 to 5. Now came the first hard game of the year. U. S. was aching for a chance to secure revenge for the “practice game” of 1909. Throughout the whole game the teams sec-sawed back and forth; first one had the advantage, then the other. The first half ended 6 to 6, Scovif scoring a touchdown, and Barrett kicking goal for U. S., while Coates scored two field goals for Central. In the third quarter U. S. scored a safety, touchdown and goal, making the score 14 to 6. But here Central braced and rushed the ball down the field twice, Coates scoring a field goal and touchdown. 1 his made the score 14 to 14 with a perfect chance for a goal, and but four minutes left to play, Central’s chances were exceedingly bright. The rest of the story is too sad to tell. The goal was missed, and U. S. scored nine points in the remaining time. The next week we met our greatest enemy, East High. It was far from an ideal football day, there being about six inches of snow. Central’s goal was never in danger, but, sorry to say, neither was East's, until the last quarter. Two forward passes worked the ball to East’s 20-yard line when a take kick was tried. This failed and it was East’s ball on their five yard line. Schreiner attempted a punt which Komer blocked and Hiles fell on the ball back of the goal line. Coates kicked goal. Six points looked good with only about two minutes left to play, so Central played safe the rest of the game. Our last local game was with Shaw, touted as the best team in the city. Central drew first blood, a forward pass to McConnell, giving us a touchdown. The goal was missed. No more scoring was done until the last quarter, Shaw getting a touchdown on a trick pass. Shaw’s hopes were high, but when the goal was missed, their players seemed to give up hope and Central scored a field goal and touchdown in quick succession. The final score was 14 to 5. This ended the local season and Central was once again Senate champion. On Thanksgiving Day the football boys had a rare treat, a trip to Detroit to play Detroit Central High. Accompanied by Coach Elliott, Mr. Bissell and several rooters, they left on the Detroit boat Wednesday night and had a gala time. Rough-housing was tabooed so of course there was none. ( ?) The field was in a terrible condition, there being about six inches of mud and slush and to cap the climax it commenced pouring as soon as the game started. This gave the heavier Detroit players a decided advantage. The game was quite a farce, being featured by the headlong slides and dives made by the players. It — 75 — was no unusual sight to see one player sliding on one ear and a shoulder, and four or five other players clinging to different parts of his anatomy, through a small sized lake. When the mud bath was over, we were on the short end of a 12 to o score. Too much credit can not be given Coach Elliott. He followed an extremely popular coach, Merrill Barden, and under such circumstances it is generally hard to win over a bunch of fellows, but inside of a week he had all the fellows “working their heads off” for him.

Our hardworking faculty manager, Mr. Bissell, found the season too strenuous for him and was forced to leave school. We wish him the best of luck and a complete recovery. Last but not least, the team should be given credit for its good work. The members being too numerous for special comment, let’s all join in a wee-ah and three hearty cheers for Capt. Whitehouse and his men! — 76 — Hocfeep This year for the first time hockey was played in the Cleveland High Schools. An Interscholastic league of Shaw, East, U. S. and Central was formed and terms made with the management of the Elysium, for a place to play. The Elysium people paid for the suits and weapons of each team and received all the profit or stood for the loss. Hockey having never before been played by a High School in Cleveland, the game was put on trial. From the start it made good. Central secured for a coach, “Coddie” Winters, the greatest hockey player of them all. From a host of material, innocent of knowing a “puck” from a “goal,” he developed a team which for the first couple of games headed straight for the championship but unfortunately was later derailed into second place. Our first game was with Shaw which was the first High School game. What one of the spectators will forget that game? It was no place for a weak heart. Both teams played like college sevens and kept neck and neck all the way. In the first half Central drew blood twice. This seemed to make them a little over confident. In the second half Shaw came strong and tied the score. Then Central got another, and just before the time would have been up, Shaw tied it again. This forced the playing of an extra period. Well, when the game was over and the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of Central, then only did the Central rooters have calm nerves. The next week we put away U. S. 5 to 1 in another game. Then came the slump. East, supposed to be a rather poor team, beat us 1 to o. Then came Shaw again, this was another heart-breaking game. Central had the game stored away apparently 1 to o when they got fussed for a minute and before they got settled, Shaw had the game tied down 2 to 1. Again we put away U. S. by a score of 4 to 1. Next came East and we got revenge for our loss of the earlier game by beating them 2 to 1. Shaw won her series with us by winning the next game 5 to o. Our last game was with U. S., whom we luckily beat 1 to o. The third game we had scheduled with East could not be played as it was near the end of the Elysium season. So we had won five out of eight games. Next year will find four players back. May they form the nucleus of the champion seven.

Enough men reported though to give promise of another championship team. Central had a great deal of trouble in securing games, having withdrawn from the Senate. In spite of this fact, enough games were scheduled to establish a joint claim with Lincoln to the city championship. Each team lost one game. The first game was with Loyola, which Central won with the overwhelming score of 51 to 9. After this good starter Shaw, South and Oberhn were defeated. The South game was the hardest of the year. It mostly consisted of a wrestling and slugging match, with the advantages on the side of the heavy South players. In fact it was such a “gentle game that one Centralite was just about battered to pieces. We won 18 to 16, so what do we care for bumps. The next game was lost to U. S. 10 to 8. Central was a strong favorite but the unexpected will happen. Our only hope was a chance to beat East. In a remarkably fast game Central came out victor 16 to 13. At no time was the game certain for Central, East leading in the first half 12 to 10 and being only one point behind until the last few seconds. This game finished our schedule. R. D. Elliott was coach and so of course the coaching end was well upheld. Clyde Kortz will captain next year’s team. May they have success! (Officers Coach...........................R. D.

From present indications, the boys will be able to hold up the past records of old Central. Captain Gaines certainly looks good for a first place in the pole vault in every meet participated in and he will be ably backed by Johnson in the hurdles and sprints, Blue and Davidson in the weights, Flaska in the distance runs, Ehlert in the 440, Richardson and Burke in the high jump, and several others about equally good. We shall be contented with nothing but the championship and it looks now as if our wants will be attended to. The meets arranged for so far are the Quadrangular meet on May 13, Pittsburg on May 20, and the Interscholastic on May 27.

Findley, '12 —70 — BASEBALL TEAM PasietmU For a long time it looked as if Central High would not have a base ball team this year on account of the uncertainty of the length of the last term, but through the efforts of Mr. Harris the difficulty was removed by allowing all Seniors to play on the team after graduation, if the entire schedule had not been played at that time. A call for candidates from Coach Elliott brought a squad of fifty promising men from which a strong team was picked that will probably bring home the city championship. Payne's pastures was the place that was chosen for practice, the boys reporting at 1130 daily for an afternoon of stiff practice. Among those who tried out successfully for pitcher are Geartner, Sollie Stern and Phil. Meyers. The men behind the bat will be Rothkopf and Davidson. “Midge” Goodman who is well known by all as a star all athlete, is captain of this year’s team. Hartwell fturt is the student manager with Edward Lindeman acting as his assistant. • Other men who will probably make the team are Coates, McConnell, Kortz and Ryan of last year’s team and F. Korabeck, G. Kora-beck, Rogers, Fey, Schuele and Caldwell. The schedule that has been arranged for this year is as follows: Shaw—April 26. Lincoln—April 28. Glenville—May 5. South—May 10. Out of Town—May 12 or 13. Tech—May iy. East—May 26. U. S.—June 3. West—June 9. - 81 - TENNIS TEAM ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION tEennis A tennis team has been organized with Charles Benton as captain and James Aldrich as manager. The team hopes to boom tennis more this year than formerly. An inter-scholastic tournament has been arranged and Central, with Charles Benton in its line-up, hopes to make a good showing. The personnel of the team! for the first match was: Charles Benton, Walter Zucker, Philip Darnell, Grant Fewsmith, Nathan Post, James Aldrich and George Baldwin. Atljletic Association One of the committees about whose work very little is heard is the Athletic Committee. This committee consists of the officers of the Athletic Association, the Physical Directors and Faculty Athletic Adviser and it is their duty to award letters to the various teams and to decide all questions that may come up in regard to the athletics of the school. This year the committee has endeavored to perform its duties faithfully and consequently Central has enjoyed another year of successful athletics. At one time during the year the funds ran low and for a time it looked as though some of the teams would have to suffer in conse- quence but some of the committee members got busy and worked up a bazaar and vaudeville show. This proved a great success and added about eighty dollars to the treasury. The committee consists of: Charles Benton, President Athletic Ass’n. Miriam Culp, Vice President Athletic Ass’n. Edward Downer, Secretary Athletic Ass’n. Mr. Bathrick, Treasurer Athletic Ass’n. Burton Coates, Member at Large Athletic Ass’n. Mr. Bissell, Faculty Adviser. Mr. Hitchcock, Faculty Adviser. Miss Kennedy, Girls’ Physical Director. Mr. Battersby, Boys’ Physical Director. — S3 — GIRLS' LEADERS' CLASS Girls’ tellers' Class F all the school organizations the Girls’ Leaders’ Class has its full quota of enthusiasm. They enter into it with the vim and spirit that promises success. These qualities did not come amiss in preparing for our “Annual Exhibition,” for our time was short indeed. Miss Kennedy’s illness delayed us, for what could we amount to without her? She worked doubtly hard upon returning and brought everything into shape in good time. Several of the Seniors and Juniors have been coaches for the lower classmen, others have played the piano for different classes, while a lot of us have been squad leaders in our own gymn classes. This means more or less work, but there is connected with it a certain pleasure,—that pleasure we feel when we have really accomplished something. Our banquet is yet to come—enough said. For all our good times of work and pleasure we extend our heartiest thanks to Miss Kennedy.
