SPENCERIAN SCHOOL View of Court and Building—Euclid Avenue Entrance After fijigl) £ rbnnl—Mtat ? When you have completed your studies in High School you have acquired an excellent foundation fora successful career, but only the foundation. Without a special training you will find no worth-while position awaiting you in the world. Thousands of capable young men and women drift into the ranks of poorly paid labor every year 6imply because they lack toe special training necessary to secure employment where their natural ability will be seen and appreciated No matter what your immediate plans are—College, Teaching, Business Life—a commercial education will safeguard your future and protect you against the possibility of financial failure. You will need but. to seek employment in some business office to realize how indispensable is a commercial education. The successful business man has little time and less inclination to attempt the teaching of employees. He insists on the TRAINED young man and woman and is willing to pay well for their services. More than 200 calls monthly for Spencerian graduates to take responsible positions at good salaries in the best business houses, emphasises the truth of: “ill is hpttpr to attend tljr S nrman tljatt to utiolj you Ijai.” THE PRIVATE SECRETARY DEPARTMENT IS RESTRICTED TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES AND COLLEGE MEN AND WOMEN.

Close by his books were lying, He did not heed their call; The sun was more alluring, It almost caused his fall. Alas! he rose with eager haste, His cap from the rack he took; But a stately form stood in his way, And held him with his look. “Sum Aeneas Trojanus, Novas terras petivi; Di immortales miserunt, Te me nunc comitari.” 0 Jungling, folg’ der Sonne nicht, Sie leitet dich zum Bosen; Auf Tauris bin ich Priesterin, Hilf mir, Orest erlosen. And then a prism beckoned him Come on and play with me; Please help me find my altitude, My base is thirty-three. The boy did shout with angry voice, “I’ll do nothing of the kind!” The prism then went off alone. Its altitude to find. “No,” cried the boy, “I will not go With you whom I do hate.” Aeneas sadly stepped aside, The boy ran to the gate. At last Chief Uncas sternly said, “Your sloth I’ll not excuse; Immediately perform your tasks, Or else your scalp you’ll lose.” The boy did tremble like a leaf, That’s shaken by the wind; And slowly he retraced his steps, His hated books to find.

Entered at the Po t-081ce as second class mail matter. 22 To graduate from the school of which one has been a pupil for four years, is a novel experience which inspires in one a feeling of awe mingled with joy and disappointment. We have joy over whatever we may have accomplished and disappointment over what we have failed to accomplish. However, if we could imagine our emotions as personified in the forms of two different persons; one person expressing all joy and the other nothing but disappointment at the completion of a task, we would not go wrong in judging the disappointed man as the one who must have had the highest ambitions. So at the completion of our Monthly Board Year and on the editing of our last Monthly, we do not feel ashamed to say that we have cherished many disappointments. We have set ideals before us which we have not been able to carry out to our complete satisfaction. We are thankful, however, that these uncompleted ideals can harm no one and can probably be handed down to the next year’s Board for completion. Among some of our aims have been: 1. To interest the school more in our Literary Department by directing its thought along some particular line each month. 2. To establish a closer and more systematic union between our school paper and other school papers by means of our Exchange Department. 3. To enliven our paper with more pictures and cuts. The next year’s Board will undoubtedly do its part toward the fulfilment of these aims, but it is likewise the business of each pupil of Central to support them in every possible way. The Monthly Board this year experienced a great loss on the resignation of Miss Mary E. Adams as faculty adviser of our paper. Miss Adams has been for many years such a source of strength to the Monthly that we felt at a great loss to learn how to do without her. 23 Editors: Marion Cleaveland, AdelbertHeinmiller, Elizabeth Mock, Sylvester Traub, Marion Cowin, Isidore Helfand, Louise Moyse. SEPTEMBER 14. School begins. The day of changes. A change from vacation to hard work, a change from junior to senior, a change from one study to another, a change from one teacher to another. This year the greatest alteration in the school itself was the succession of Miss Adams to the late Miss Bertha Keffer as assistant principal. The many students who knew and loved Miss Adams were very pleased to hear of her appointment. 18. Monthly Board was entertained at Miss Adams’ home. The plan of work for the coming year was discussed. Some of the members proved themselves competent waiters, dish-washers and cake consumers when the faculty were not aware. 23. The October Monthly went to press. 28. Central began its practice games for the championship. Kindly notice the score. Central 13, Lisbon 14. OCTOBER 1. In October we settled down once more to our daily routine. Those that began with a spurt quieted down into their ordinary pace, those that always work hard were grinding away again. The clubs began, each one starting with a new interest and much hope for an enjoyable year; the class-meetings and informals were dis- 24 cussed with a few rumors of the formal. Most interesting of all was foot-ball. We spent part of our Fridays in rallies, half our Saturdays at the games, half our Sundays reading paper reports, sometimes— few and far between we spent one period of our Mondays in rallies, and all the rest of the week doctoring our throats for the next game. 2. At the beginning of the year Mr. Ruetenik was determined that Central should not only come out ahead in athletics but that the school as a whole should back the efforts of our team. So on this all important Friday we held our first real rally to tune us up for the East Tech game. Vernon Burke and Floyd Flick, the two newly appointed cheer leaders, were much in evidence. 3. Central 16—East Tech 0. The playing of Tony, our captain, and Sommers was creditable. Some of us were disappointed on being refused a rally, but then, mayhap, it was for the best. 6. Initiation of new members into Faraday. 12. Had a holiday to give Columbus a chance to discover us. Impossible! 13. The Treble Clef Club held its first rehearsal. Notice the date. 16. Already our Friday recreation period begins. All glory be to the brave seniors who made their first appearance at rhetoricals. 17. On this memorable Saturday, be it proclaimed how near ye Central High School came to being defeated in a plucky game of football against ye rivals of said school, namely; West Tech. Remember ye one and all the ancient moral that runneth, “Pride cometh before a fall.” Namely, a fall from ye score of 16—0 to ye score of 0—0. Take heed, therefore, I warn ye. 20. Contributions collected for the Christmas ship to be sent to the Belgians. 22. Report Cards distributed (or sent home) ? 23. This fall the Northern Ohio Teachers’ Convention met in Cleveland. We put on our company manners and behaved well all day long, and even consented to give them an exhibition of our gymnasium dancing at East Technical in the evening. 30. David Dietz was elected the senior class president, Dorothy Goddard, vice-president; Helen Mendelsohn, Secretary; Wm. E. BenninghofT, Treasurer, and Herbert Neubauer, Sergeant-at-Arms. 31. Hallowe’en brought with it this year, among other fruits, a plum in the pie of Central, namely, the neat little score of 20—14 rolled up against U. S. NOVEMBER 2. We were all summoned to the auditorium for the first big rally of the year. Literally, it was a foot-ball rally; not one of those affairs at which the fellows get together and cheer for the game that has just been won, but on the contrary, a big meeting of the entire school at which we rally our forces for the next game. 3. Extra! Extra! All about the big election, paper. Central High School goes solid for Governor Cox and for Woman Suffrage movement. Paper, mister? 5. The monotony of the regular school day was broken when we attended a special rhetoricals to hear an interesting talk by Mr. Robinson, an international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. He held the closest attention of the audience throughout the entire address. Especial emphasis was placed on the point that one must first form a mental conception of oneself attaining his ambition in life, and then in the face of all adversity stick like a bull dog or a postal stamp until that ambition has been realized. 6. Enjoyed another big rally for the East game. Central felt the need of a new class song and, “presto chango,” behold the transformation of “Tipperary.” 7. Vacant space to let. Nobody but undertakers need apply. 11. Art Club initiation for I A’s. Ask Hugo Wheelock if he likes huckleberry pie. Florence Stief proved to be a modern cubist artist by drawing with much skill some cubic boxes of candy. 12. “Backward, turn backward, oh time, on thy way, Make me a child again, just for today.” Pig tail day. (Did anybody see Edytha's curls?) 13. Central High beat Lincoln. This game gave us the Senate championship. 24. By the new ruling the senior class was allowed two formals, one to be held at Central, and two informals each year. On Tuesday, the twenty-fourth, we enjoyed our first informal. Vernon Burke was chairman of the dance committee. 25. The day before vacation we all enjoyed the shortened periods, the Shaw vs. Central game. (Notice—Shaw lost), and our German play, “Einer Muss Heiraten.” Kenneth Morse, Joseph Futterman, Marie Bleiweiss and Carrie Kromer were our newly converted Germans. 27. Thanksgiving. ’Nuf stated. DECEMBER 9. Kenneth Morse elected valedictorian of February class. 10. Glee Club initiation. There was a little boy, And he had a big red tie, Right in the middle of his collar; And when he strutted ’round He had a look profound, Resembling a classic German scholar. (Poetry a la Shakespeare). 25 11. The annual visit of the Fortnightly Club impressed us this year more than ever. We do not have the opportunity to hear a harpist every week, nor is it a common occurrence to be able to hear the wife of our city's mayor, Mrs. Newton D. Baker, sing. 23. As we notice two of the members of the Shakespeare Club walking about the halls, we wonder how they could have changed so much since the twenty-third of December. Neither Harry Kirtz nor William Sindelar impress us as being exceptionally timid now, but we have only to recall the Christmas play, “Les Deux Timides,” to realize how great their development in self-possession is. JANUARY 1. The Central High School alumni who joyfully made their way homeward from the dance which they had held in our hall, New Year’s evening, little imagined what a disastrous effect would arise from their gaiety. For the first time in his long and faithful career, the Belfry Owl, special reporter to the “C. H. S. Monthly,” turned in a false report. This may seem trivial to many, but there will be a few who will recognize its seriousness. If the Owl reported Mrs. Ruetenik as a chaperon of a dance at which she was not even present, what is to be expected in the future? However, our confidence in him is slowly being replaced by the accuracy of his subsequent efforts. As for Mrs. Ruetenik, she has certainly pardoned him because of her interest in owls in general and the Belfry Owl in particular. 2. “Didn’t you have the best time?” “Weren’t the girls’ dresses pretty and wasn’t the music good?” Hundreds of questions such as these might have been heard as the group of girls and boys streamed out of Glick’s Dancing Academy the night of January second. Undoubtedly the mid-year Formal was a great success. No one had any complaint to make except a few against those boys who took their lives in their hands and wore dress suits. Even these have probably been forgiven by this time, and none but the pleasantest memories remain. 4. Christmas Holidays! How far away they seem! We have almost forgotten that there is such a thing as Christmas and even the presents have slipped the minds of most of us. At any rate, we are positive that no one feels it necessary to hold an auction to get rid of any superfluous Christmas presents that he may possess. 8. Junior Harmonic Club, under the leadership of Alfred Swearingen, entertain us at rhetoricals. Monthly Board banquet was held at the hotel Hollenden. Ask some of the members what is the tendency of the gymnastics which raw oysters perform. 15. Owing to the semi-annual commencement, we have semi-annual everything now-a-days. The February class night occurred this year on January 15. The performers were, Carl Hauser, Gertrude Gibbons, Dana Moyse, Ethel Clem, Hugo Prucha, Mary Bleiweiss, Max Samolar, Vernon Burke and Gladys Van Tress. 22. “Don’t talk about it,” is the usual request when the 22nd of January is mentioned. We do not like to remember our defeats, and therefore we will not even remind you of the Shortridge Debate. So let’s talk about the Detroit-Central Debate, for we won that two-to-one. 29. As we recall the commencement of the class of January, 1915, it seems that it was not unfitting that the first mid-year class should have established the precedent of holding their comencement in the halls of their Alma Mater. What more suitable place could be chosen for their start in life than that in which they have been trained for their life work? A class with such broad ideas can certainly be relied upon to furnish more than one illustrious man or woman to honor Central High School. FEBRUARY 1. A new set of freshies have arrived. They are rather shy, meek as little lambs, and gaze around like so many Peter Pans in Never-never Land. 26 12. Doctor Ashmun gives an interesting lecture on Lincoln, including personal reminiscences of the great American president. Heard immediately after lecture. Freshie 1: “Gosh, I’m glad the teacher caught me skipping rhetoricals.” Freshie 2: “What’s the reason?” Freshie 1: “I saw Abraham Lincoln, and he made a big speech.” 19. The school has a most enjoyable time at the auditorium. A special program is given in honor of Washington, which includes songs by the Glee and Treble Clef clubs. 23. A pleasant diversion was planned for us in the form of a victrola concert, given by a representative of the Edison laboratory. 25. Senior Class officers elected: President. Floyd Flick; Vice-President, Elizabeth Mock; Treasurer, Sydney Kline; Secretary, Jean Ashkenas; Sgt.-at-Arms, Herbert Zdara. 26. Annual gymnasium exhibition. Some very fine work done by the boys. MARCH 1. We heralded the new month in by the first defeat of our basket-ball season— Central 12, East 14. However, as East lost a game the very next week and had already lost one, we received the basketball championship. 3. The Monthly began a rally for midyear subscriptions in which the boys won with a total of 467 to the girls’ 435. 9. Shakespeare Club banquet. 12. Foot-ball rally to officially receive Senate championship. New rag time hit. Try it on your East High friends:— There was a little school That had learned a little rule By dint of much observing and some practice. Whene’er we’d won some play, Then they would always say: Chorus— We are sorry that we lost it, They would say with voices cool. But if it e’er must go from East High May it go to Central School. 15. Owing to the death of Mrs. Rockefeller, classes were excused for one hour today and an assembly meeting was called which was devoted to her memory. 18. Ivanhoe at rhetoricals by Alex Marcus and company. APRIL 7. The cross-country race. This was the first of its kind in the history of our school. The purpose, mainly, was to arouse enthusiasm for track work. In this respect it was certainly a success. About thirty-five fellows took part in the race, all of whom finished the three and one-half miles of hard running. This shows there is some good material in the school. The course was from Case field to Cedar and East 107th St., and from there down Cedar to the school. Part of the running was up hill, a fact which made the race all the harder. Nine prizes, consisting mostly of articles for track use, were given by some of the leading stores of the city. 9. The first Senior Informal was such a great success, both financially and socially, that another is to be held soon. The gym was secured and decorated. Programs were printed by our new “Economy Printing Co.” A new idea was introduced when some side shows were put into play. The well-known Kazoo Club gave us a performance, and at the popularity contest, Katheryn Lucas was voted the most popular girl, and Gerald Howland most popular boy. To the informal committee, namely, Emilie Vinnedge, chairman; Kathryn Lucas, Everett Loeb and William Rothen-berger much credit should be given. The informal committee wishes hereby to acknowledge the receipt of the pennants used from Browning King. 15. First real practice of the recently picked track team. Although practically no men were back from last year’s team, the material seemed fair, so that a team 27 worthy of representing Central may well be expected. About fifty men showed up at the first try-out. 16. Perhaps you wondered on April sixteenth why so many girls wore white dresses. Well, I’ll tell you, but don’t let it go farther. Those girls belonged to the Girls’ Leaders class. They had a banquet on that day and had arranged to wear white dresses for the purpose. Soph to Senior: “Our geometry teacher gave us a proposition for tomorrow in solid geometry.” Senior: “Let’s see it; maybe I can do it.” (The Proposition) : “Find volume of triangle when the four sides are given.” The Senior gave up after working two hours. 30. On this evening the school was given a treat in the form of the Shakespeare annual play. Instead of one play, as usual, three comedies were presented, “A String of Pearls,” “Indian Summer,” and “French Spoken Here.” “Indian Summer,” a play but recently translated from the French, was but once before played before an audience in the U. S. The plot was very interesting and was well given. Olyn Shaw and William Sindelar took leading roles. “French Spoken Here,” was the play that probably brought the most laughs. In the course of the play everyone becomes mixed up, but in the end all becomes straight again. The part of the French dude was especially well acted by George Roberts. MAY 7. We were entertained by Mr. Henry Oldys in an interesting lecture on birds. Mr. Oldys’ excellent imitations of songs of different birds amused us all very much. 21. On this day was given the Senior Formal. This is the first time that a Senior Formal in this school has been a combination of a dance and a banquet, the former ones being only dances. It was very successful and was enjoyed by every Senior present. 21. The Annual Oratorical Contest. It certainly was a compliment to Miss Bruot who showed her ability in coaching the boys. Those taking part were: Harry Kirtz, speaking on “Tenement Betterment”; Sydney Klein, on “American Neutrality”; Sydney Selman, on “Co-operation”; Sydney Weisman, on “Commercial Jealousy”; Ralph Hertz, on “The Snares of Moloch.” Ralph Hertz was given the medal offered by the Shakespeare Club, honorable mention going to Sydney Selman and Harry Kirtz. The judges were, Atttorney I. Grossman, a Central graduate and winner of several contests at Harvard. Prof. Findley of East High and Prof. Murray Hill of Western Reserve. The Senior Formal also held the attention of all. “Some dance!” One thing more. The Annual goes to press. 28. For the first time in the history of the school has a joint concert of the orchestra and Glee Club been given. The orchestra and the songs of the Glee Club members made the presentation a great success. I have written the last word I shall write On the Belfry Owl for many a year. But that the Belfry Owl will cease to exist I entertain nary a fear. 28 000 0 0 OUR PRINCIPAL The memory of whose earnest efforts in behalf of the Class of 1915 shall never be forgotten. 29 Xtrtnt Athlrttr0 TRACK The Cross-Country Run Our gym teacher and track coach, Mr. Lewis, started a new thing in the Central track squad by having a cross-country run. The course was as follows: Beginning at Adelbert College athletic field, cross country to the Cedar Ave. Y, down Cedar to 55th St., to the Central Gym. Leonard Parker, a dark horse in Central Track circles, wfon, making the required course in 15 min. 5$ sec. Vende-land finished a close second, making it in 16 min. 1 sec. The other prize winners finished as follows: Ferrier, Rivard, Pecha, Dobrick, Chandler, Seith, and Steward. The last three to finish, A. Miller, Prochaska and Kaftel, were handed a nice, red bottle of catsup. Here’s hoping they will profit by their experience and “ketchup” before the next run. The starter was Dr. Von Stein of W. R. U.; timer, Sol. Weinberg, a graduate of Central now attending Reserve; judges, Mr. Ruete-nik, Mr. Green, Mr. Blaser and Mike Hayes. It spoke well for the runners when it became known that our gym instructor who rode a bicycle down the course, could not keep in touch with the first man. THE INTER-CLASS MEET The annual inter-class track meet was held Saturday morning, May 1st, at Western Reserve University athletic field. The Seniors won the meet by massing up a total of 47 points. The Sophomores ran them a close second and secured 43 points. Next came the Juniors with 22, while the Freshmen footed the list with 18. Russell Davis, our husky shot putter, succeeded in smashing the High School record by making 41 ft. 5Vfc in. From this result we are highly confident that Davis will make a creditable showing in the Quad meet. Yogovone succeeded in tying the record for the 100 yard dash, making it in 10 3-5 seconds. James Ferrier, a Junior, won the title of school athlete by one point. Howland, Cheatham and Garrett ran him a close second with 12 points each. Most of the events were hotly contested, except the 220 yard dash, which Garrett easily ran away with; and the mile run, in which Ferrier far out-distanced his opponents. Leo Johnson, who has been a low hurdler, pulled a surprise by turning high hurdler and winning first place. The results of the meet: Mile run—Ferrier (J.) won, Vendeland (S.) 2, Rivard (S.) 3, Welker (S.) 4;Time, 5: 12 3-5. 100 Yard Dash—Yogovone (S.) won, Garrett (S.), 2, Johnson (S.), 3, Cheatham (F.) 4.

The athletic girl is usually more popular than any other type. On the fifth of October the girls began their gymnasium work for this year. As instructors we had Miss Mosher, who has been with us for' several years, and Miss Watkins, her new assistant. In the second week of October we began hockey, and although no teams were organized we enjoyed our hockey games in the gymnasium classes. When the cold weather arrived, we were forced inside, and hence we changed our entertainment from hockey to basket-ball. On the ninth of November the room teams began their practice. After a month of practice the inter-room games began. It was unusually early to commence the games, but on account of the mid-year promotion, we desired to complete the schedule before the promotion took place. The games this winter were some of the best basket-ball games we have had. Although sometimes they were rather rough, yet there was great excitement and much fine playing. It gives the Seniors great pleasure to claim the championship. They go out with a more friendly feeling toward the school than as if they had been defeated by their inferiors in their last year at high school. As usual the Junior Reds defeated their old rivals, the Blues. The Seniors won every game and the Junior Reds lost but one. Room 21 made the best showing of the Sophomores, while Room 41 won the championship among the Freshmen. On Friday evening, February the twenty-sixth, was held the Ninth Annual Gymnastic Demonstration. The performance was a pleasing success and much credit must be given to Mr. Lewis, Miss Mosher and Miss Watkins, who spent many toilsome hours training those who took part. We wish especially to mention the fine work done by the boys, because we feel that it surpassed anything we have had for several years. The first two weeks in March the interclass games were played. The teams were very evenly matched in most of the games, and most of the scores were very close. The result was as follows: (1) Juniors, (2) Seniors, (3) Freshmen, (4) Sophomores. So although the Seniors won the inter-room championship they were surpassed by the Juniors in the inter-class games. At the end of March the basket-balls were laid aside and a track meet was held. The meet was quite a success. The events were: 50 and 75 yard dashes, distance throw, traveling rings, running high jump, running broad jump, and goal throw. Room 21 won the meet among the upper-class teams, having entered seventeen girls. Marion Wood was upper-classs athlete with thirty-two points to her credit. Room 41 won the freshmen class meet. They entered sixteen girls. Elizabeth Grun was freshman athlete with thirty-two points. The winners of the first four places in the freshmen meet were: (1) Elizabeth Grun, 32 points; (2) Irene Esch, 30 points; (3) Roselyn Meltzer, Adeline Lavine, 21 points; (4) Lois Seith, 20 points. After the track meet the weather became so warm that we could no longer remain inside, and so we brought out our balls and bats and commenced base-ball. It took a few weeks to get in practice, but after we did get started we had some very interesting baseball. At the close of this another year, and the Seniors’ last year, we wish to thank Miss Mosher and Miss Watkins for their unceas-in effort to help us, and we want to wish them the greatest good fortune in the future. Our best wishes go with Miss Mosher as she leaves us and are with Miss Watkins as she remains with us. 31 ®lfp Annual Soarii D. Ralph Hertz...............Editor-in-Chief Sydney Klein ...............

Foster Lewis Marcia Henry 32 Among the many strange productions of the typewriter (or of the. pen) we find the editorial in the High School Annual. With all due respect to these offerings, it seems that very often one is inclined to smile, if not even laugh, at some of the expressions that are f ..nd in many of them. This is probably because of the marked tendency among publications of this kind, to look upon themselves as pieces of work for which the world has long been anxiously waiting. We find many of them looking back on the “four years we have spent in earnest pursuit of our- studies with a complacent air. It seems th tn many of them the spirit of concentrated egotism is manifested. They often deal with the great value that the class has been to the school and even seem to feel contented with the petty honors won at high school. In short, the average editorial that makes its way into an annual seems to say, “Look at me, a high school graduate, fresh (truly so) with all the glory of high school! I am a product of four years supposed to be spent in study, and I am putting myself on display without charging a price of admission. Look me over thoroughly, for you will not look upon my like again. The tenor of these so-called “editorial expressions seems to carry a cocky assurance that the graduating classes, armed with diplomas, carrying their club or team insignia on their breasts, have but to announce their readiness to the waiting world without, to conquer it. No one was ever foolish enough to deny the advantage of having confidence in one’s self. Nevertheless, it seems that such a display of egotism is uncalled for. We must realize our true position in relation to the world without. It is unwise to discourage youth, but in looking over this class of confident boys and girls, one cannot help but wonder sadly how long it will be before this innocent self-assurance will be shattered. The world is not waiting for the “Conquering Class of 1915. It can struggle along without our valuable services. It fails to recognize our great worth, nor does it beckon us for aid. But rather, it looks critically at us as if “sizing us up. It is anxious to receive our sincerest and greatest efforts, not our favors or assistance. We must therefore, at the close of our high school days, lay aside all ideas of self-importance, and, looking society squarely in the face, resolve to offer it our greatest efTorts, not our kind aid. 33 Att Ancient rnblnn anb f mn 3t Hag i$ki It may seem strange to the readers of this column that the discussion of an “ancient problem” should find its way into an Annual. However, since this is merely that ancient question of “How can we raise money?” it seems that most of us will not regard it as a strictly ancient one, but rather as one that is embarrassingly “up-to-the-minute.” To the members of the graduating class in particular this applies wtih surprising force, for the past year has been one of many financial problems. To begin with, the present senior class is unusually small. This most likely is true because of the mid-year Commencement. Nevertheless, both custom and tradition demanded as much of us as it did of the larger classes of bygone years. Thus, the problem of raising enough money from a class of less than a hundred and fifty, to support the activities usually financed by a class of about two hundred and fifty, was a problem that made itself uncomfortably important at the beginning of the year. However uncomfortable it may have been, the puzzle was solved. The class of June 1915 has had its Formals (and what Formals they have been!) We have had our Class Exercises, our Informals, our activities, and finally we now have what was at first thought impossible, an Annual. We believe, in all modesty, that we have upheld all the traditions and customs that the school’s history demanded of us. It is therefore evident that there must have been some particular force, some factor in our march that has taken upon itself the task of solving these problems, and of working out those puzzles, that for a time threatened the life of certain customs and institutions that every true and loyal Centralite should hold as almost sacred. That factor has been the unceasing patience of our principal, Mr. Ruetenik, and of our adviser, Mr. Hayes. It is not necessary to enter into the lengthy details of their work. It is understood that every member of the Class is familiar with the story of the long struggle to overcome those financial problems that stood in our way. To begin with, Mr. Ruetenik’s suggestion to amalgamate with the February Class was a wise one. It enabled us to have our Senior officers and to enjoy two Formals where we have usually had only one. Much thanks is also due Mr. Hayes, whose active interest and valuable suggestions have resulted in making the Seniors more interested in Class affairs than they have ever been before. A consequence of this interest was the swelling of the fund in the Class treasury, money which has made this work a financial possibility. The story of the Annual is an instance that particularly shows how Mr. Hayes’ active interest has been of indispensable advantage to the interests of the Class. For a while it was thought that the customary Annual would not have a 1915 edition. However, Mr. Hayes found a way, and the present book is the result. The Class is therefore indebted to him for this work, for the success of its Formals and for the many things that will make us look back at our Senior Year with a satisfaction in having known Mr. Hayes, and our principal, Mr. Ruetenik. 35 QJIje (Kiris’ IGttrrarg i nnrtg The past year has been one of great success to the G. L. S. We have adopted a new plan and the year was spent in the study of not only literary works, but of different fields of art. Our success is due wholly to the efforts of our leaders, Miss Henry and Miss Hastings. Among the features of the year, was the banquet tendered to the visiting debating-team from Shortridge High of Indianapolis. It was attended by the football men, our own debaters, and several members of the Faculty. OFFICERS First Term Olive Schleman .. Helen Mendelsohn Marion Benjamin Marion Cleaveland Elizabeth Alvord .

At their banquet this year, the club invited its alumni to attend. The Philomatheons may well be proud of their alumni. This society and the Dorian at West High School are the two oldest and best known debating clubs of the city.

(Olympian (Club Although the athletic world believes a “comeback” impossible, the Olympian Club has demonstrated that, in other fields, it is entirely feasible. For, after having disbanded in 1913, the immortals have returned this year to their former position among the most active clubs at Central. Credit for the rehabilitation of Mt. Olympus is due to Mr. M. Foster Lewis, whose active interest made the organization a success. The year was spent in the study of the lives of the Latin poets and in a review of their works.

Owing to the large number of vacancies, the club was a little later than usual in organizing. In order to create an interest in attendance, the member absent in each part was recorded and at the end of the term the losing part, which was the first soprano, furnished a spread for the whole club. On March fifth, the club sang “The Enchanted Swans before the Fortnightly Club at the Knickerbocker Theatre. At this, our second Annual Concert before the Fortnightly Club, we were assisted by the following artists: Harp, Miss Carmela Caferelli, a charter member of the club; Mrs. E. Strong Hatch, soprano; Miss Marie Lehman, mezzo-soprano; Mr. James McMahon, bass; Miss Ruby Hall, piano. The twenty-third of March found the girls of Central Treble Clef entertaining those of Lincoln Treble Clef with a dance and stunts for those who did not dance. All voted the afternoon a delightful one. In the near future the club will sing and dance in minuet, Kate Greenaway and Spanish Gypsy costumes. THE OFFICERS. President...............

In the same month we had concerts at the Hiram House and at the East Madison Church. Our next appearance was at the February Graduation Exercises, which was followed by a concert at the Kinsman-Union Church. We then adopted the slogan of “On to Amherst” and reached our goal February 12th. The hospitality and “eats” given us by the “Kleo Klub” made such an impression on us that we’ll always remember them fondly. We made several other appearances here in town, all of which prepared us for the “big” trip of the year, to Sandusky. The old soldiers must have liked us as well as we did them, for they extended an invitation for next year, which we hope to accept, thank you. Our third out-of-town trip was to South Euclid. There are five more concerts waiting for us, as well as our home concert, May 28. So here’s to the Club of 1915, with all its memories and fun. Director.............. President.............

Jede Woche gab es kleine Programme, die ganzlich auf deutsch gegeben wurden. Dann lasen wir auch Schiller’s “Der Neffe als Onkel,” sowohl wie Hans Arnold’s “Ein Regentag auf dem Lande.” In der ersten Halfte des Jahres hielten wir unsere Versammlungen noch in Zimmer 36 ab. Seit dieser Zeit hat uns der “Philomatheon” Verein sein Zimmer je-den Donnerstag freundlichst zur Verfiigung gestellt. Fraulein Bruot wurde einstimmig zum Ehrenmitglied ernannt. Ihre freundliche und unermudliche Hilfe trug viel zur erfolgreichen Auffuhrung unseres Lustspiels bei. So liegt denn wiederum ein gliickliches und erfolgreiches Jahr hinter uns, und voll froher Zuversicht blicken wir in die Zukunft. 48 (Stria' Idraiirra (Dlaaa The best time of the school year is spent in the gymnasium; at least so it seems to the girls of the Leaders’ Class. We had to work hard, yet we have enjoyed it. The first meeting was held November 5th, and the year’s work closed with the annual exhibition, Feb. 26th, 1915. Under the faithful guidance of Miss Mosher and Miss Watkins, the exhibition was a huge success. We also wish to thank Dorothy Myers for her faithfulness as accompanist throughout the year. The senior and junior girls have been busy this year in coaching basket-ball teams, assisting Miss Mosher with freshman classes or playing the piano during some gymnasium hour. The fitting close for this pleasant year of activities, was the important event of the annual banquet on April 16th. The good time spent there helps us to keep in memory the Girls’ Leaders’ class of Central High School. 49 Slotrs’ ffipatora QHaaa During the winter season there is probably no club that accomplished as much as the Boys’ Leaders’ Class. Under the guidance of Mr. C. B. Lewis, the boys trained In apparatus work, athletic dances and drilling. Then came the Gymnastic Exhibition. In this the class took a prominent part, not only in the presentation of several numbers, but also in directing all the participants in the exhibition. Later the club demonstrated its ability at dancing at rhetoricals. In all, the busy year spent by this organization insures a bright future.

In the Tri-State League, all of the schools taking part, won and lost a debate, the visiting teams being the fortunate ones. As all of the schools have a similar record, we still retain our position which was won last year. In the Interscholastic Debates we encountered two of the strongest teams in the city, Commerce and South. The Tri-State teams were made up only of those graduating in February, Ben Philips, leader, Emrich Fried and Joseph Futterman, being those who went to Detroit and returned with a two-to-one decision over Central High School of that city. David Dietz, leader, Herbert Neubauer and Sydney Weisman made up the team that met defeat at the hands of the strong Indianapolis team after the close contest had brought about a divided decision of the judges. In opposing Commerce, we met the city champions, and although we “fought hard all the way through, Commerce was the victor by a divided vote. Central was repre- sented by D. Ralph Hertz, leader, Nathan Botwin and Harry Kirtz. The season closed with a victory against South High. Here again the judges handed down a divided decision, and in Central’s favor. Alex Miller, leader, who was the only member of the team as originally chosen, D. Ralph Hertz and Hugo Wheelock, made up the Central team. How creditable Central’s record has been in debating, a table recently compiled by the president of the Interscholastic League, shows clearly. Summing up the results for the last three years, three schools of the nine led the league,contesting keenly among themselves for the mastery, but distancing all the other schools. Glenville stands first with six victories and fifteen judges’ decisions in its favor. Commerce is next with five victories and fifteen votes, and third is Central with four victories and twelve votes. With as good a record as this, Central should rally to the support of its debaters and help to make our school a school that will be second to none. 51 A $omtg Atlikte's Aspirations By the school, about one-thirty, Paused “a flat” to watch in flight, A lithe figure, as it vaulted O'er the bar at perilous height. Watched with eyes agleam with envy Yogovone the track around, Run a hundred in ten seconds, Hardly seeming to touch the ground. Now the jumper, high in midair, His most awed attention drew; A run! a jump! and over clear, A wondrous height is five feet two. “Suppose,” he mused, “I lost my weight?” The very thought, it thrilled him queer, But not my bulk; it would be great; Straight for Lewis, I would steer. “Mr. Lewis,” I would say, Holding up my sleeve the trump, “Excuse my boldness, if I may, But what’s the record for high jump?” Lewis, then, would rack his brain, Puzzled he’d scratch for thoughts dead, Look at me with proud disdain. Then point somewhere above his head. When at six feet, before the crowd He’d put the bar, they’d mock and jeer But when I jumped, they’d gasp aloud And break out in a rousing cheer. Then to the vaulting posts I’d glide And lightly make a ten foot jump. “Wow,” would gasp Lewis, petrified, “A poleless vault, the little chump.” I’d round the track lap after lap, So fast, I’d make a Ford look slow; When I’d put Central on the map; With a final jump, to the “Feds” I’d go. Willard R. Connolly, ’15. 52 3R-carr 54 The football season opened a little earlier this year than usual. This was due to the preliminary training held in a camp near Willoughby. The first team that Central encountered after the return from camp, was that of Lisbon High School. The Lisbonites barely defeated our men by the score of 14—13. Then came our first scheduled tilt in the Senate championship race. The alert East Tech team furnished the opposition. The Central squad showed to the best advantage and “played rings around” East Tech. Central's scoring was due to the varied and powerful attacks of its backs, and the fine defensive work of the line. The score was 16—0. The next obstacle in our onward march to the championship, was West High. Our hearts were at low ebb throughout the game, but we managed to win by a score of 7—0. The third struggle was with West Tech. Anxious to wipe out the disgrace of last year’s defeat at the hands of the West-side Carpenters, the players fought with vim and vigor. In one of the most fiercely contested games in the Senate, Central was held to a 0—0 tie. The following game marked the opener of the quadrangular championship race, Central and University being the contestants. The red and blue, knowing well the opposition that U. S. always puts up, entered the contest with the determination to conquer. The game was interesting and thrilling throughout. Central first broke the ice by a pass from Handler to Porus. The score was raised later through a pass of 30 yards from “Junk to “Avy, to the ten yard line, whence Smith took the ball over. University then scored two touchdowns before our boys regained their wits. Central finally scored another touchdown, making the final score 20—14 in her favor. We next stacked up against our most formidable rival, East High. We entered the game determined to overcome the old “hoodoo which, for years, has prevented us from defeating East. But we found to our sorrow that it seemed an impossibility, and that the “jinx was just as potent as ever. As a result. East took us into camp with the score 15—0. Although our boys tried hard, the superiority of the East High “heavies proved too much for the red and blue. The playing throughout was of the old style of line plays. Very little of the new game was attempted. We next encountered Lincoln, and easily defeated her by the score of 19—6. After Glenville’s forfeiture, we met Shaw. This was the last game of the season. The players were determined to wind up the year with a decisive victory over the East Cleveland school. We outplayed and vanquished Shaw by the score of 15—6. Both teams played a speedy game, and the spec- 55 tators had a fine brand of football presented to them. Central’s scoring was the result of the forward passing of Handler and the consistent offensive attacks of our backs. After the smoke had cleared away, we found to our satisfaction that Central had won the Senate championship, the first since 1911. We also subdued U. S. and put the damper on Shaw. These victories made the players and the school satisfied with the season, as was witnessed in the auditorium at our noisy football rally. Central had many rooters this year, but the most enthusiastic was our principal, Mr. Ruetenik. His support was always ready in victory or defeat. His efforts for the betterment of the team will always be remembered by the players. To Mr. Blaser much credit for the team’s success is due. His way of instilling a fighting spirit into the boys and having them always hustling, has made him well liked by all. This year completed Mr. Blaser’s third season as coach. He has always produced winning teams, the last being the best. To be captain of the winning team is a great honor, but to be recognized also as a great tackle and a good back is still greater. This honor goes to Anthony Catalano, who led the champion Central team. We will lose his fine services. He will not be back next year. Thomas Sommers, halfback, was an excellent punter. He played a steady offensive game throughout the season. “Tom” also will be missing next year. Radnor Van Epp, halfback, was a fast, slippery, and aggressive player. He always managed to twist his way through the opponents’ line when called upon. Van’s quitting school will leave a difficult opening to be filled next year. Carl Smith, quarter, starred in drop-kicking. He was always wide-awake and “on the go.” Next year’s team will have to do without him as Carl has quit school. Fred Handler, halfback and tackle, excelled all other players in the city in forward passing. “Junk” could always be relied upon to put up a good game. Graduation deprives Central of his future playing. Lloyd Palmer, backfield and tackle, played hard and diligently. He “sparkled” as a tackle. Lloyd graduated last February. Max Porus, end, was the best man at his position in the city. He was a “bear” on defense as well as offense. “Mac” is one of the graduating class. Henry Avellone, end, played to the best advantage when working with Max. His forte was receiving forward passes. “Avy” finished his high school career last February. Gerald Howland, tackle and guard, was a player that was not sensational, but steady. Had it not been for injuries, “Jerry” would have given anybody a fight for allscholastic honors. Howland receives his diploma this year. Perry Hobbs, tackle and guard, was a new man and played a fine game. He ought to be a star next year. Edward Finkelstein, guard and tackle, always was a hard tackier and played a strong defensive game. “Ed” finished his course last semester. Louis Guth, center, played his first year on the team. He was a good passer. Guth completes his fourth year in June. Claudius Johnson, guard, was another good man and worker. Claude will undoubtedly strengthen next year’s eleven. Alexander Bartow took care of the financial worries. He was always a “John-ny-on-the-Spot” when needed. His jovial nature made him popular with the players. Alex will be among this year’s graduates. 56 RECORD Central ....13 Lisbon . .14 Central ....16 East Tech ... .. 0 Central ....7 West . . 0 Central .... 0 West Tech .. . . . 0 Central ....20 U.

With Captain Guth, Goodman, Harmel, Bartow and Handler back from last year’s team, the chances for a successful season looked bright. Coach Blaser chose for his team the veterans from last year, a great advantage over our rivals. Before the regular season opened, the team played Elyria High. Our visitors were beaten to the tune of 39—17. Following the Elyria game, the Senate opener was played with last year's champions, South, as our adversaries. The South quintet, although playing a great game, went down to defeat before the excellent passing and shooting of our five. The score was 18—10. The next Senate team to be put out of the way was that of Glenvilie. The North-siders’ efforts were unavailing against the superb defense of Goodman and the accurate basket-shooting of our Captain, Louis Guth. The score was 20—11. Commerce also, in turn, realized what defeat meant. After an exciting game, Central was the winner by a hair’s breadth, 26—24. The half year “exams” followed Commerce, as our team’s opponents. Handler, Harmel and Baden succumbed to their attacks. But despite these losses, Guth led his five against the Lincolnites and won easily, 32—16. The speedy East Tech five next stood in our way. The playing was fast and interesting. The guards distinguished themselves by breaking up the well concocted plays of the Carpenters. The final score was 21—16. In a game, featuring close guarding, Central conquered West High 17—12. This was one of the hardest fought games of the season. Inasmuch as West High was considered one of the strongest teams in the Senate, the victory meant much for the team. Then came the most important game of the season. Before a large crowd in Central’s “gym,” we gamely went down to a heart-breaking defeat before the blue and gold. Central worked hard and played a game that would have won nine out of ten times. But it happened that East, also, was especially primed for the occasion. In the first half the score was fairly even. At the beginning of the second half our quintet played with renewed vigor. They tried desperately hard to tie the score, but against the stone-wall defense of East, the efforts proved useless. The game ended with the score 14—12 in East’s favor. The West Tech Carpenters were our next opponents. Since our chances for the championship hinged on this game, we exerted ourselves to the utmost for victory. Our efforts were not in vain and we gained the day. Word then came that East was beaten 59 by South. This gave us another title and helped fill the trophy case with another cup. In this way the players and coach have brought joy to the Central rooters, for it was indeed something to be duly proud of. Here’s hoping that Coach Blaser produces another cup winner next year! In order to get the school in better touch with its heroes, Walter Frazee has written the following individual“write-ups” for their approval: LOUIS GUTH {Captain) Weight, 157 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 11 in. Guth has been recognized as the best roving guard in the city. His accurate basket-shooting coupled with his passing has won for Central many a game. He will graduate this year, and our next year’s team will miss the playing and enthusiasm of the championship team captain who has for two years fought for Central’s basket-ball honors. SIDNEY GOODMAN Weight, 143 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 3 in. Goodman—“nuf sed”—if an opponent gets a basket, he is lucky unless he can manage to shoot from the center of the floor. It was almost impossible to get the ball by him while he was under the basket. Our opponents soon learned this and began to shoot from the center of the floor, but “Syd” met them at their own game and managed to score several baskets. We are sorry to say good-bye to so “Good” a “man” as he, lost by the graduation route. CLAUDIUS JOHNSON Weight, 165 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 11 in. The player that could take Handler's place and fill it satisfactorily, making the loss of our star center not materially weaken the team, Johnson. “Claud” out-jumped most of the centers who were pitted against him and managed to score baskets as well. He played against men who were faster than himself but always came out on top. His playing usually won for him the credit of outplaying a faster man. ALEX BARTOW Weight, 115 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 3 in. The smallest player in the Senate, but near the top as a point getter. What he lacked in height and weight, he made up in quickness and his ability to locate the basket. His gameness is undoubted, and he played the game for all that was in it. Central will lose one of its best forwards by his graduation. MAX PORUS Weight, 145 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Max repeated in basket-ball some of the foot-ball tactics, that is, of always being on the job and sticking to it. After “exams” were over, it was found that some more basket-ball players had to be dug up somewhere. Max was on the job and stepped right in and gave us -the best he had in that line. Our hopes were not disappointed, and Max made just as good a basket-ball player as he did foot-ball. GERALD HOWLAND (Manager) Weight, 172 lbs. Height, 6 ft. “Jerry” was also one of the “finds” that developed after the February “exams.” He not only showed that he could manage a championship team, but that he could be one of the playing units of the same team as well. “Jerry,” although he did no sensational playing, was on the job in the tight places and could always be depended upon. ROBERT BARNEY Weight, 153 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. “Bob” put up a good game at forward and was also “there” when it came to doing defensive work. His playing was that of a utility man. If a guard was needed, Barney was the guard that could fill the job. Likewise, if a forward was needed, Barney could play that position as well as any other. In fact, if any position on the team needed a man to fill it, Barney could be relied upon. 60 RECORD Central 39 Elyria . . .17 Central 18 South ...10 Central 20 Glenville . . . ....11 Central 26 Commerce .. ...24 Central 32 Lincoln .. .16 Central 21 East Tech .. . . .16 Central 17 West ...12 Central 12 East .. .14 Central 19 West Tech .. . .. 5 Games Won . 8 Games Lost ..........1 THE TEAM Louis Guth, Captain Alex.

Great interest was manifested by Central's hockey supporters, who hoped that the team would be one to be proud of. Soon, however, sorrow entered Central’s camp. Tom Sommers, whom fame had dubbed a star, quit school. Notwithstanding this loss our hockey players were more determined than ever to make a good showing. They entered the first contest confidently expecting to skate rings around East. After a thrilling struggle, Central found itself victor by a 3—1 score. This was just what was necessary to instill confidence into our players, who hoped to continue the good work. Central then received a setback at the hands of University. Although defeated, our players showed great skill in handling the puck. When the players were recovering from the defeat, a heavier blow was struck against the team. Smith and Feidler were declared ineligible. With these men out of the game, the Central lineup was sorely crippled. Nevertheless the seven showed the proper Central spirit by fighting in every game and never quitting till the gong sounded the end. Although victory was not gained in another game, the school owes the greatest respect and loyalty to Coach Paddock and his team of gritty men. Here again, we are indebted to Walter Frazee for the following introduction to the men: PLAYERS—“WRITE-UP” LEO JOHNSON (Captain) Weight, 128 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Johnson, better known in hockey circles as “Johnnie,” was one of the best stick handlers our school has produced. He was always on the job, and when it came to a tight place you could depend on Leo. Johnson served well as captain and put a lot of “pep” into the team. JACK GARRETT Weight, 150 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Not far behind Johnson comes Garrett. Garrett proved his worth in the hockey game, season before last, this being his 63 second year of hockey. The Garrett-John-son combination kept the opponents busy in most games, and whenever there was a chance one or the other would emerge from the scrimmage with the puck and carry it down the ice. PERRY HOBBS Weight, 175 lbs. Height, 6 ft. 1 in. Hobbs is another player that has won his place on the team for two seasons. Perry put up a good game at defense, and whenever the opposing wings tried to “rough things,” little Perry showed some of his football tactics and beat them at their own game. Through his defensive work the scores were kept down even while playing against much faster teams. ROBERT BARNEY Weight, 153 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Bob, being a basket-ball man, did not get into hockey until the season had started, but he proved a solid defense man as well as a fair wing. Although playing against much faster men than himself, he proved his worth as a player. CHARLES CLARKE Weight, 126 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 4 in. Clarke, sometimes known as “Kid” Clarke or “Chucky,” played a good game at wing. As it was his first attempt at hockey, it took some time for him to find himself, but toward the latter part of the season he put up a rattling good game. LEON BIALOSKI Weight, 145 lbs. Height, 6 ft. Bialoski, another late comer on the team, played a good game at goal, considering his inexperience in hockey. Leon no doubt will develop into a good goal next year and make up for some of his misplays of last season. ALFRED SWEARINGEN Weight, 137 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. “Sweary” played a fairly good game at wing. Owing to his lack of experience, his few misplays can be overlooked. Considering it was his first attempt at hockey, he did very well. As he was ineligible for the last two games, he did not have a chance to play when the team was at its best. HERMAN SEIGER Weight, 140 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Seiger was another inexperienced man in our hockey line-up. He usually played a wing position, and although rather slow, was steady. As he usually played against men much faster than himself, he was nearly always outplayed. SUGGS GARBER Weight, 142 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Garber began the season at goal and did well at first, but after a few games he was replaced by Bialoski. Garber now shifted to defense and wing where he played a good game. FLOYD FLICK (Manager) Weight, 143 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. Last, but not least, our manager, Flick. Too much credit cannot be given to him. It was through his efforts that our school was represented by a hockey team this' season. As Flick served his assistant managership under Allen Excell, he was well prepared for the position. Flick was always on the job and got the equipment for the players and did everything in his power to turn out a good team. COACH Our coach for this season was Harold Pad-dock, an old Central man, who was one of Central’s stars on the diamond. This was Paddock’s second year of coaching the Central seven and he did the best he could with the material on hand. The assistant coach, Fred Baird, also deserves much credit for his work in putting the team in shape. He also is an old Central man who played hockey for our school and now is one of the stars on the foot-ball team of Reserve. 64 When the warm weather rolls around, our attention becomes centered on track events. The squad, with the help of our new coach, Mr. C. B. Lewis, is working hard in order to carry the Central banner among those of the leaders at the Interscholastic and Quadrangular meets. To date, the annual interclass meet has been the only track event of the year. The seniors won first honors, although the “sophs” gave them a close fight. Ferrier, a junior, gained the title of school athlete by scoring thirteen points. As a result of this meet much confidence is prevalent in the school. With such stars as Yogovonne, Davis, Howland, Garrett, Captain Leo Johnson and others, Central may look forward to a successful year. GUjp (Eomnuttrr The “gym committee” is an organization that well illustrates the fact that one must not make much noise in order to be useful. Although this organization has been only little heard of, the members have been of great aid in keeping affairs in the “gym” in order. The members and officers of the committee are as follows: Gerald Howland, Chairman; Floyd Flick, Treasurer; Wilbur Steuer, Earl Ward, Perry Hobbs, Wm. Sindelar, Leo Johnson, Jack Sheibly, R. Philips and W. Webber. 65 (iilje ufcnnta (Elub One of the clubs, very popular, and constantly increasing in popularity at Central, is the Tennis Club. It has one hundred and ten members. The court at school is in good condition and is occupied nearly every school period and after school. The main feature of the year in tennis, the tournament, was started the first week in May, and we hope to select good tennis teams from the results, both boys and girls.

Esther Enger: They say she is “sassy,” But I think her “classy.” With a roll of her eyes, She can near mesmerize. Walter HaUock: Eyes are brown and hair is red, Bump of something (?) on his head; With the ladies loves to dance Every time he gets the chance. Marion Cleaveland: Knows her lessons all by heart, At her marks she makes one start; Excitement never comes her way, “It’s just her manner,” all of us say. Ralph Hertz: As a debater he can roar, Surely is “some” orator; Always smiles quite a bit. With the teachers, he makes a hit. Ida Stem: Such a lass to see is rare, “Buxom, blithe and debonair”; Cherished and beloved by all, Likes to wander in the hall. Sydney Goodman: He’s a captain, not so tall, Knows the game of basket-ball; Not so quiet as he looks, Never could see sense in books. Marion Benjamin: Fair complexion, brown her hair, Always treats one “on the square”; Looks attract, and charms allure, Dandy little girl, I’m sure. Han'y Kirtz: Speaks like Hamlet, so you see Some day he'll an actor be; Goes about with a grouchy air, As if oppressed by heavy care. Jennie Lapars: Has a very charming way, Tennis she knows how to play; With her eyes and cheery smiles, She can travel many miles. George Roberts: He’s always bubbling o’er with fun, Of jokes he’s quite a lover, Our funny little comedian; Ford Sterling’s little brother. Mary Hardman: Always bold to ask a question. Which will clarify her lesson; To be so sweet, Oh! tell us true, What must a common person do? Kathryn Lucas: So shy, so sweet in all her ways, We wish we had her all our days; For truly she is fair to see, And surpassed by none in jollity. Olyn Shaw: At acting she is very good, Always in a happy mood; She’s quite tiny and petite, Nevertheless, she’s very sweet. 68 Lillian Shapero: Carefree, smiling, always happy, Never in a hurry; For her sunny smile and laughter Suggest, “Well, I should worry.” Willard Connolly: A truer Charley Chaplin One could never wish to see; “Will” will always hold his own, No matter where he be. Marion Smith: Acts and talks in a manly way, Every game can Marion play; When climbing ropes in the “gym,: She makes you know she has vim. Emilie Vinnedge: Knows how to act so sweet, In her way she is discreet; Has a knack to make things go, At our Informal, she proved it so. Sylvia Ledinsky: To sing, to play, is her enjoyment, Truly, wants no other employment; Makes you think she’s quite shy, You’ll learn different bye and bye. Florence Benedict: She’s a busy-body 'round the school, Always keeps so nice and cool; Never hurries on her way, Gets to classes, when she may. 888338883888338 Hi nut Suin'rt ulitis ffitfr Would 2k— If there were no home-work. If we could talk in the library. If reports were not sent home. If teachers would not scold so much. If Mr. Reed would stop “yanking” us from classes. If Dr. Zeliqson didn’t require excuses. If tests were made easier. If the office were a tiny bit farther away. If there were more “spreads.” If zeros were not quite so common. If we had a new lunch room. If we had an elevator. If there were a park around Central High. If Carrie Kromer w'ould not look so wise. If George Roberts would forget the ladies’ smiles. If the top floor were for dancing only. If we could afford more formals. If we could think of something really funny. 69 § nap flints Courteous, though coy; and gentle, though retired....................Marion Cleaveland I am resolved on dignity or death.........................................Floyd Flick Little, but oh my!...................................................

Not long ago, five wild and woolly Gazook-ers made their appearance at Central High and ruthlessly harassed our ears with their hideous shrieks and moans. At first it was thought that they had escaped from the Brookside Zoo. But later their close resemblance to human beings, led us to believe that they had broken away from the Newburg custodians.
