This is very natural and true for we have taken advantage of opportunities offered us, and after four years of hard study we have accomplished something worth while, and we are entitled to this satisfaction; but on second and more serious thought, we must not forget to voice another emotion, which we feel that we owe to many, and that is? appreciation. First of all to whom do we owe appreciation? It might seem on first thought that there was only an immediate circle to whom we owe it, but on looking deeper we can see that there are many who have contributed their share in bringing about this event. Most of all we owe appreciation to our parents and to all the people of Bay City; those taxpayers who realized the growing importance of an education and who have built for us this school, without a doubt the finest money could buy, and offering us every branch and form of high school life and cultural development. The next to whom we owe much appreciation is our present faculty. Every student realizes that, were we given a text, and printed instructions on how to study that text, we would not accomplish much in the way of learning. It is our teachers who show us how to smooth out the passages, and who help us get over the difficulties. In addition to this help and guidance the student always takes away from a class the influence of the teacher’s personality. Then, too, as a class we owe very much to our faculty advisors, those teachers who have advised and helped us in our activities, and to whom much credit is due for our successful undertakings; for every thing that this class of twenty-six has started, it has finished successfully. Another group whom we must not forget are the pioneers of our country; those men who have given us our heritage as Americans; men like Washington and Lincoln who are bright lights in American history, each contributing his share in building up democracy which not only recognizes the freedom of each and every citizen, but also gives him the chance of getting an education. So we conclude that we deserve only a small part of the credit due to a completed course on this graduation day, almost everything that we have gained has been literally handed us on a golden plate, and though we may endeavor to express our appreciation at this day, for if we continue our education we shall also continue to take benefits from society. Realizing this, let us make the most of every opportunity which may come our way, and on another day of graduation some years hence, be a lasting monument to the college of our choice, and also to our dear, old Central High School. Everyone of us, whether or not we go to college, must be someday, citizens of a great country, and in accepting this birthwright of ours let us show greatly the appreciation we now feel. Our country needs most of all, good, intelligent, law abiding citizens. It is not the learning that we can absorb while in high school or college, as learning, that is going to be of any benefit to society, rather it is the way we are going to use this learning, that we should have acquired in studying the arts and sciences. Let each one of us unite in saying, we will show our appreciation to our parents, our townsmen, our teachers and our country, and in so doing we will forever cast renown upon Old Central.

Nor turn away from whate’er life may hold; And yet there comes a longing to remain Forever ’neath the Purple and the Gold. CHORUS Dear Central High, Commencement Day is here; And so we bid you now a fond adieu. We’ve held your glory dearer than our own And given of our very best to you- Let those who follow raise the colors high— Those handed on to them untouched by shame For we, the class of nineteen twenty-six Have held in honored trust old Central’s name. We now would give the honor and thanks due To you who pointed out the toilsome path; Who willingly to aid us gave your time And patience kept when moved to righteous wrath. Ah, farewell now to all those happy days. But memory in the future shall unfold And spread before our longing eyes again The banner of the Purple and the Gold. ■ Following the name of each senior will be found a prophecy of his or her occupation ten years from the present date.

For this Classiest Class of all Classy Classes Is the Classy Class of Twenty-six. Pntre 12 Time—1923, 1924. 1925, 192t . Place—Central’s Ship. Characters—Graduating crew who will soon set sail into the future. What—Account of voyage. The meeting will now be called to order. We have a great deal of business to transact today so I wish you would pay the strictest attention. We will now have the secretary’s report. “Mr. President: We have launched into our Sophomore year with the following crew in charge: President, Allen Jones; Vice President, Elda Anderson, Secretary, Eleanor Woolfitt; Treasurer, Harriet Weber; Sergeant-at-arms, Wendell Letter. Misses Dilley and Carlson and Messrs. Stiles and Kempf were chosen to make sure our safe voyage. Plans made for our big party in the blue room were all ably carried out by the committees appointed by the president at previous meetings. After much discussion on the members to be sent to the Oldei Boy’s Conference at Ann Arbor, a motion was made for adjournment. The piloting of the ship for the Junior year was placed in the capable hands of President, Donald Macklem; Vice President. Warren Rogers; Secretary, Phyllis Henderson; Treasurer, Lawrence La Porte; Sevgeant-at-arms, Wendell Lefler, and our honorary members Miss Bothe and Mr. Stiles. Reports were given of the two big features of the year—the Junior Play, which proved all that the students expected, and the J Hop on the 17th of April, which was a huge success. The crew responsible for our arrival at port are: President, Lawrence La Porte; Vice President, Priscilla Anderson; Secretary, Frances Tompkins; Treasurer, Leslie Fenske; Sergeant-at-arms, Wendell Lefler. Isabel Turcott was appointed to take charge of the selling of candy to swell our treasury. Plans were completed for the Senior party which was held in the grey room and was an enjoyable affair. A delegate from the Junior class then extended an invitation on behalf of the Juniors to be their guests at a delightful send-off.’ If there are no corrections to these minutes, this voyage will be brought to a close and plans will be made for a greater and more difficult excursion, one in which we will have to use our own initiative and work without the aid of the able pilots who so generously steered us, thus far, in the right direction. nge 13 CLASS VILL We, the class of 1926, feel the cold fingers of graduation approaching, when soon we shall all be severed from Central High, and How we shall bleed! So before this awful carnage, we are making our last will and testament. When you Juniors and Sophs read it, we erstwhile Seniors will be in another world, a cruel world and far different from that world of our halcyon school days. But do not think that we face it with trembling hearts. Far from it! Brave as we are, however, many a sigh we heave at the calamity coming, and green are our eyes as we behold you Juniors and Sophs so smugly content in your undisturbed happiness. Verily, however, we all must die and ere we die let us make our wills. Following are the wills of the class entire: To Mr. Glen Arthur Onians we leave our sincere appreciation for his endeavors in making school days pleasant, also a fond memory of 01’ Central.

Page r 0 Ualrirtriorg r p Now graduation time is here, the goal That we have struggled for through years of work. That we have longed for and yet dreaded too Because it means the leaving of old ways, The breaking of the old routine, and marks The branching of a new path unexplored. The old path lies behind and its mistakes Are buried in the past. Our thoughts must turn To this new way that lies before us now. Here some may find great glory in the world. And some may write within the book of fame. And some may drift along in carelessness Nor give a thought to where the path may lead. Still others may before their work is done Be called to give account unto their God. But we can go with courage and with hope Along this hidden path, and keep our trust In things worthwhile, our aims both high and pure. The past twelve years of school life have but laid The great foundation stones of knowledge and Of character. If they are bedded deep Then life will be an edifice of strength And beauty too, a noble monument. But, as we build, each block must perfect be That when we finish, life will show no flaw. No darkened blot against the marble white Of purity. It is the little thoughtless deeds That often mar and spoil the finished work. An era new and strange confronts the world. We are the generation that must help To keep things right and guard the old ideals. If we are ready now to do life’s work The credit lies with those who through the years Have given of their knowledge and their aid That we might have the right tools for our task. But now the time has come when we must leave Old Central and the friends that we’ve made here. Another class will take our place and they Will work and play as we have worked and played. While we shall go each on his destined way And part forever from the loyal group. But mem’ry will the friendly faces keep And time can never fade our high school years. So now the class of nineteen twenty-six With fond remembrance of the days gone by And best of wishes for the future years Bids dear old Central High its last farewell.

Page SS Women f r« t £ CLASS OF 1927 o n o -4 9 Ulip (£lass of H12f OFFICERS President----------------------------------------------------Frederick Seidel Vice President_______________________________________________Dorothy White Secretary____________________________________________________Marian Youngs Treasurer____________________________________________________Virgil La Porte Sergeant-at-Arms_______________________________________________________Wilbur Harris After we launched our ship, the Junior Class of 1927, by election of officers, we felt that our first duty as good sailors was to prepare for the class play. “The Romantic Age” was selected as our starring vehicle, and through its success we upheld the high ideals of our class. Our second trip on the high seas was under the able direction of our delegates to the Older Boys’ Conference at Lansing, Virgil La Porte and Frederick Seidel. This was followed by the Girls’ Conference at Jackson at which our representative was Dorothy White. Our sturdy craft was next caught in the tempestuous clutches of an assembly program. But we breasted the waves cheerfully, and produced a novel entertainment, half pep meeting, and half assembly program. The winter winds and lack of snow tried to prevent a Junior Class sleigh ride, but after all plans were made; it obligingly snowed, so that we were able to continue our successful class year by this strictly Junior affair. Last but not least, came the triumph of the Junior year, the Junior Hop. It was a grand and glorious affair, and the crew of the 1927 feel that it added the crowning touch to our so far successful career. Finally we gave our Senior send-off. We hope that we have launched their craft into the world of business and college successfully. Thus successfully and happily we closed our year, as the Ship 1927 came into port.

Brown, were sent to the boys’ conference at Lansing, and Carol Copeland and Beulah Beson attended the corresponding girls' event at Jackson.

The program usually consists of yells, songs and a talk. The songs and yells are always vociferiously participated in, and most talks well heard. The Studs, however, were mightily pepped up by two speakers who canie and talked at our big meetings. These men were and are “Charlie” Porter, comedian par excellence, and “Ken” Johnson (J. Kennard) tragedian ditto. Their talks were of the kind which naturally interest and pep up the student body. Mr. Johnson’s talk will be long remembered as an omen, and might be fittingly given here in excerpt. “Central High School’s football team has been laboring against Fates and Evil Spirits all season but has always come out on top and always will. These Fates have had long arms and great influence, and have seemed to take great enjoyment in crippling and despoiling our team of its best players. The Fates or Spirits couldn’t wait for the season to start but reached out and took Ed. Strouble from a quiet swim in the I Kawkawlin to the hospital ,and the team lost one of the best centers it ever had. Then it chuckled and laughed to itself over the huge joke and subsided for a while, FOR A WHILE. “Latter when IT saw that Chief’s plans were progressing well IT stepped in and declared ‘Butch’ Harris ineligible, and an all state man was lost for the season. ITS face was wreathed in chuckles and hideous grins. The Evil Spirit then retired to ITS lair to brood over new’ and devilish plans. ITS next appearance w'as at Lansing where IT caused a slippery field and bad luck to break ‘Zip’ Simon’s arm on the kick off and first play of the game which incapacitated him for further service during the remainder of the season. “The Evil Spirit or Fate, however, was determined to wreack further vengance on our team and so hovered over the Alumni Field at Saginaw the next week and cast ITS evil spells until ‘Bill’ Schweinsberg wrent out of the game with a broken ankle and Doc Ballard had another patient for the season. The Fates then seeming to think that they had caused enough worry and trouble to Bay City, a team that always came back for more, gave up the struggle, but we still came thru in the face of odds. Bay City always has and always will win no matter what the influence against it. The students apparently agreed with Mr. Johnson’s opinions and the Auditorium rang with their applause. Mr. Porter also gave us a real entertainment both facial :uul verbal, and told us all about the “little Bozo” (his son and heir). l’utro 8 Hot tom l(ou : ll:irr IV« t«: ltl -k« r: Olltrr l.aMarrr.

Football The Football team of Central High School fighting back against odds after many setbacks in the 1925 season, established an enviable record of 6 wins and 3 loses out of 10 games. The odd game was tied with Arthur Hill at 0-(X The fact that we scored 119 pts. to our opponents 89, shows how hard our fellows played even after Simons, Schweinsberg, Harris and Struble had been lost to the squad thru the strange quirks of fate. “Chris” Lefler with 36 pts. to his credit led the scoring and his line smashing ability alone could have won some of our games. He sure is some human battering ram. After Bill Schweinsberg was lost with a broken ankle Chief uncovered another of the quarterbacks that Bay City is famous for, in Jack Wheeler whose veteran like playing of the team reminded us of Billy Anderson in his playing and leadership qualities. Chief also found some new linemen who looked very good. They were: La Marre, Petie, Richert, McShane, and Reer. The games and their respective scores are as follows: Detroit Western_____________________0—14 Bad Axe______________________________0—34 Cass City ________________________13—46 Lansing __________________________19— 0 Saginaw Eastern______________________0— 3 Mount Clemens_______________________25— 0 Arthur Hill ______________________0— 0 Detroit Eastern______________________0— 9 Flint ____________________________32— 0 Pontiac __________________________ 0—13 Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Bay City Totals—Opponents 89 119 Bay City Pngc 82 IloHorn lt� %« : WeiidHI I: .lurk In-Her; Vn ln-« Imoii: llarr IVrl� : l tiul Mnjolr.

Basketball The Basketball team played all of its scheduled season games in a workmanlike manner and succeeded in breaking even winning 7 and losing the same number, bringing glory to old Central even in defeat by their gentlemenly manner and attitude toward their opponents although they never can be said to have been anything but fighters. However their showing at the tournament was punk and they lost their first and only game to Saginaw Eastern, a team that even after we had beaten them twice came to be known as the surprise team of the valley. “Zip” Simons arm that was broken in Lansing Football game responded to Doc Ballard’s treatment and he was able to play in all of the season’s games. The break didn’t seem to bother him any since he was tied at the end of the season with Brownie for high scorer with 28 pts. Our basketball teams for the next few years seem to be assured of a place in the sun and this is due to the fact that Chief has broken a number of new sophs, into the game and they have all shown well. Dardas, Walther, and Friedel at forwards are good in their departments and Smiths, Reg. and Les., are looking quite good at the guards. The games and their scores are as follows: Opp. Manistee_______________9 Traverse City----------5 Pontiac_______________10 Flint_________________15 Saginaw________________5 Lansing ______________20 Kalamazoo_____________24 Jackson ______________10 Central 5 Flint 15 Arthur Hill 13 Saginaw . 14 Arthur Hill 18 Ann Arbor 11 Muskegon . 12 12 Totals Opp. Central 14 6 ... 5 12 ... 9 18 ... 4 10 ...13 11 ...12 10 ..155 162 Page 83 n The I'ootball and Basketball teams surely turned in some good scores in the seasons just past and their work can not be given too much credit. The high scorers were nearly all seniors, meaning that they will not be with us next year; but sorry though we are to see them go we realize that they couldn’t stay forever, and we are content that the next years will see at least as large scores made by the Juniors and Sophs of these years.

The football games were heard and we found no better possible place for the noise makers to cheer or the yell leaders to perform than in our new stadium and in our gymn. They sure took advantage of the natural conditions and we all were pepped up. Les Fenske was head cheer leader with Howard Mitchell, Jack Barrett, Joe Legatz, and Frank Hewitt as able assistants. Joe's performing dog was an enjoyable innovation and succeeded as an attraction. These fellows, though not earning sweaters along with the football team, surely deserved them for their loyalty and service for old Central in the “Yell” department. With white sweaters and trousers, often mud stained before the game was over, they presented a pretty and inspiring sight which drew the cheers from the crowds. Page SI Baseball It is an ill wind that blows no one good, and an exceedingly funny one that, though considered good, is not carrying to some one the news that something is wrong. We like and admire our new Stadium very much, but we can also consider the fact that we no longer have a Baseball field and so that is the reason that Chief has scheduled but one home game for the Baseball team. This was played at Clarkson Park, May 22. The other games are all out of town and to date three of these have been played, dropping to Bad Axe 5-3 on the 30th of April and losing one to Flint there 7-6 on the 8th of May. Midland was the opposition next on the 11th and we lost to them 10-9. The team was unable to get any out of door practice before the Bad Axe game and so we went down there without a single ball being caught outside. The Flint game was close all the way and no one expressed any sorrow for losing a well fought contest.

The local authorities though not exactly in sympathy with girls’ Basketball would like to have had a girls’ swimming team. We are particularly well fitted for such a team as the records will show for the opportunities that the girls had to show their worth. When Harold Lauffer was here for his demonstration at the Handy High our giris were asked to put on an exhibition, and six of them under Mrs. Rohrer were there and swam and dove themselves into a reputation as mermaids. The Misses Harriet Weber, Myrtle Poultney, and Catherine Plum took the places in the order named in the fancy diving. A forty yard dash was also held and the following girls placed as follows: Betty Shaw, Betty Thomas, and Mary Ann Sharpe. Then since the girls were so enthusiastic about this work Mrs. Rohrer arranged a swimming exhibition in our own pool. This included all of the girls taking swimming in the school classes and was heartily received by the capacity crowd that watched it. We may be able to have more of these athletics for the girls to engage in in the next few years and we sincerely hope that the girls will not be neglected any more than the boys. I’iiKv SC Auatlms (Eliaptrr Agathos Chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools was organized June 1924 and became a functioning body in September, 1924.

On April 28, the following people were initiated into the society: Genevieve Burke. Bernice Cole, Elizabeth Crankshaw, Claire Harris, Frank Jones, George Hittel. Mary Lugden, Theo. Lewandowski, Ambur Parmentur, Louise Ratkos, Alice Tennant, Catherine Belworthy, Marion Youngs, Marvel Higgs, Flora Willard. The initiation ceremony was dignified and impressive. Rev. J. Roy Van Wyck who was the speaker of the occasion delivered a fine message, his topic being “Vocation and Life Service.” The same evening the new members were tendered an initiation banquet by the old members at the Grotto Club. The chairman of the banquet committee was Grace Glaver. Agathos has a song all of its own. The words were written by Elizabeth Crankshaw and the music was composed by Grace Glaver. The requirements of this organization are Leadership, Scholarship, Character, and Service. Membership in this society is the highest honor that may be conferred upon a student. This year Agathos members have been able to carry out their ideal Service as occasions rose when they could serve. It is hoped that the organization will grow in power and be able to do bigger and better things under the guidance of Miss Schroeder, our faculty adviser. Page 87 £. (C.

We write to tell you of our work, of our pamphlets for new students, of our assistance in girls’ athletics, of our interest in school citizenship, and our willingness to give service at all times. Now we are engaged in a promotion of a student court, testing whether our school can be adapted to student government. The city will little note nor long remember what C. C. writes here, but it can never forget what Central does here. But in a larger sense C. C. cannot alone succeed. It will be necessary that the entire student body, as well as C. C., shall hereby highly resolve that this work shall not be in vain and that the movement for a government of the school by the school and for the school shall not perish from old Central.

The club has been prominent in student activities- It has managed the Teachers’ Lyceum course during the past year, and has certainly made a success of it. It has shown its sociability. A big party was held during the first semester, and it was one of the bright social affairs of the school. The fall initiation was a huge success, and the one being planned now is expected to be even tetter. It has proved its forensic powers. It beat the Council of 30 in two debates, getting five out of the six judges’ votes. It has heard many fine speakers during the year, both outsiders and club members. It made its annual field trip, this year to the Dow Chemical Co. at Midland, on May 15, and all present had a very enjoyable time. A very pleasant trip was taken after the morning was over, eh, Gerald? All told, C. S. L. has established itself. And the present members plan to make the coming years more active still. Pago 89 (SirIs’ tudrnt (Tilth President_________________________________________________Eleanore Timm Vice President_______________________________________________Betty Smith Secretary_______________________________________________ Ernestine Perry Treasurer _______________________________________________ Dorothy White This year has been a singularly successful one for the Girls’ Student Club. Under the supervision of our advisors, Miss Margaret Whyte, Mrs. Fred. Hewett, Mrs. E. B. Perry, and our president we believe that this group of girls has made itself known throughout the school. Our one large work, of course, is the Big and Little Sister movement under the leadership of Lucille Morris. We also held a Vesper service at the Trinity Episcopal Church which was one of the most beautiful services of the year. But the work of the Service Committee has shown the most development. On Dec. 17 we cooperated with the Hi-Y in giving a program for the men and women at the Poor Farm. The Club and several individual girls have adopted grandmothers from the Women's Home, remembering their birthdays and visiting them regularly. And of course everyone heard our radio program on Feb. 17 from W. S. K. C. However, the G. S. C. is not noted for its good works alone. There was that lovely rainbow tea in the Little Theatre, the Grandmothers’ tea at the “Y”, and the Faculty Mothers’ tea. It is certain that many girls remember the Big and Little Sister Party. But we remember with the most pleasure the beautiful dance at the Yacht Club on June 5 just to show the masculine element also what we could do. The doors of G. S. C. are open to all girls wanting something worth while to do, many good times, and happy comradeship. We extend a most cordial invitation to all girls—Freshmen, Sophomores, Seniors—to join with us. Page so (Club � Cnder the supervision of Messrs. L. C. Humes and Otto (i. Knechtel. the Hi-Y club has had a most eventful year. The accomplishments of the club, especially that work which was done in the discussion groups, has equaled, if not surpassed those of previous years. The more than a hundred members have regularly enjoyed very interesting meetings with their constructive programs. Among these programs are to be found the names of many prominent citizens. Music by the Hi-Y orchestra, entertaining selections rendered by members and by outside entertainers, motion pictures: these are but a few of the things which have varied and made the programs enjoyable. Socially, the club has faired fairly will. A mid-winter party and spring banquet added interest along this line. Hay City was represented by one of the largest delegations at the State Older Hoys’ Conference at Lansing. (A Hi-Y Convention.) Many of the members were privileged to attend a joint Conference with the Girls Student Club at the Y. C. A. Camp Maqua. The Annual Spring Hi-Y Retreat to Sand Lake turned out to be a lively success.

When Mr. White sent out his call in September most of the old fellows and a bunch of new ones responded. After a few practices we were able to make a fairly good showing. Our first public appearance was at the first home football game. We played at all of the home games and in addition accompanied the team to Flint and Saginaw We were again drafted when the basketball season rolled round, appearing at all the home games. Our real activities began at the opening of the spring term. A movement for organization was begun by some of the fellows and developed to such an extent that Mr. White called a meeting for January 6. At this time a constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected: President________________________________________ Vice-President___________________________________ Secretary________________________________________ Treasurer _______________________________________ Librarian________________________________________ Business Manager_________________________________ We have held business meetings and suppers every Our activities are as follows:— February 18—2nd Annual Concert.

As a result of our numerous engagements each fellow received a sweater and an emblem. Much credit is due Mr White for his untiring efforts which have made the band what it is and Robt. Lusk for the efficient way in which he filled his position as Drum Major and Business Manager. Pasro 101 ORCHESTRA Early in the year, a musical assembly was given and the orchestra made its initial bow to the students. In February, they broadcasted from YV. S. K. C. with the glee clubs. In the Mt Pleasant contest this year, the orchestra took third place. Ve compliment them! MIXED CHORUS Mixed Chorus journeyed to Lansing. May 21. as gue t of the band. While there they competed in the State finals and won second place. They lost out by I 10 per cent or 1 1000 of a point. Pngre 101 What Kind of a Student Are Y ou? As the Senior struts down the hall, proud of his accomplishments, one wonders how he won or earned them. Did he just slide through, pushed here and there? Does the thought of graduation instill honest pride in him? Did he work zealously year by-year and then succeed with honors? There are in our school life, two classes of students: the student who just doesn’t care and secondly, ths student who makes school-life a success. The student who deliberately neglects his school work; who hands in slip-shod, half-earned material; who comes to school for pleasure or because he has to go; the student who says “I can’t,” never gets any good from his four years in High School. Why go to school if you have no ambition, no set goal to strive for? There is very little excuse for poor students. True, we must remember, that it is extremely difficult for seme to study well. Some students, through illness or absence of some other nature cannot keep up with their class work and as a result, receive poor grades. But there is that big percentage of boys and girls who are capable of doing very good work but who just don’t take the trouble even to try. Those students don’t give a snap if some outline, theme or reading has not been done. These individuals are not playing a cute or clever trick if they succeed in passing their studies in a half-earned fashion. They’re cheating themselves and depriving themselves of finest qualities of success in school, namely, Scholarship, Character, Service and Leadership. Time is a hard master. He goes on, and on, never turning back! Time is valuable. Even in school-life there is a responsibility that no one can shirk. Look at the failures! No one wants to fce a failure. The only means of escape is to work and buckle down to the grind. There is no such a word as “can't . Many times have we heard that old-time-worn proverb, ‘‘Where there is a will, there is a way.” Yet it seems to have had little or no effect on those who need it so badly. It doesn't pay to be a laggard. There is practically just as much energy consumed in loafing and fooling around as in actual work. If a student tries hard to make something of his school life he can do it. It is a wonderful sensation to feel and know that one has accomplished what his ideals have demanded; that one has not wasted his time; that one’s efforts have proven worthwhile. The pages of history and the world today are full of men who have succeeded by being faithful to themselves and by scrupulous work. Hillis says, “Better than grandeur, better than gold, better than rank, better than titles and all other things, is the consciousness that one is true to himself and does what is demanded, no matter what the price”! Page 105 The Class of Nineteen Twenty-six The Class of '26 is embarked upon the Sea of Life! It has before it the glamour of the future. Will it forget the bygone years, the scenes of youth, of work and play? One fond recollection shall bring them back to view. In the years of the future, while on this journey, it will look back to a dream-like past, to the days spent at work and play in company of the kind instructors who helped to build the “ship”, “staunch and strong, a goodly vessel, that shall laugh at all disaster, and with wave and whirlwind wrestle!” Looking back the class of nineteen twenty six will sec once more the forests” of old Western and Eastern, where the hewing of the ship’s timber took place. It will recall out of those bygone years the time of transportation, the time when this rough timber was hauled to the “shipyard” of dear Central, where first the keel was laid, straight and strong, where at length, the ship rose up to view, and where at length the ship was finished. It will review again the weeks and months of strenuous work, yet never forget the cheerful voice, the helping hands, or the kind advice of the worthy master-builders, who gave their all because their hearts were in their work. It will review the scene of launching, the ship embarked on a sea of tempests, battles, and strife. But now, Like this ship far off at sea. The Class of ’26, are we!” We may— Look it over. Think it over, Read it over, Turn it over, Talk it over, But we shall be judged entirely by our ability to— PUT IT OVER. Paj?e IOC Such is Life Among the students of each school There’s quite an odd tradition,— They long to be a Senior grave— That’s the height of their ambition. Long years ago when I was young And was a Freshie green, 1 wished to rise to those same heights. And aspired to things unseen. Next I became a Sophomore And still I dreamed and dreamed. With rosy tints of loftiness, My Senior life I schemed. And then I reached my Junior year, Just one more year to go, Alas! 1 did not calculate To be disappointed so. And now I am a Senior When life should be serene,— I find my thoughts were bubbles bright, Things are not as 1 dreamed. For odd as this may seem to you, A Senior’s life’s no laugh; And when I die some future date. Let this be my epitaph: “Oh, you whom now I leave behind, Away with grief and tears; And think again of long ago And of our high school years. “We thought that life would be a snap In our Senior year at school; But things worked out quite differently. And we felt ourselves the fool. “The teachers worked us much too hard, I began to lose my health; And that I could not regain again By doctors, prayers, or wealth. “So ye who see me cold and dead As I am lying here, Beware! For 1 am just a result Of another Senior year.” You’ll agree ’tis a sad, sad story, But in this world of strife Some sorrows must come with pleasures For such we find is life. Lines on the Sins of Pedagogues and the Result Canto I. It is getting to be an awful crime, In this day, in this modern time. For pedagogues to cram our brains. With English, Math, and so called gains. We labor on them night and day And never get one bit of pay, But only flunks and cons galore And the teachers keep on giving more, To prove this point I’ll tell a tale Of a boy who studied till he was frail. Canto 11. His name was Ezra Simpkins Brown, On his classic brow he wore a frown, This youth oft up till midnight sate And pondered on studies until late, Of “Rapes of Locks” and other tunes Until he fell into some swoons. The pitying Muses sent some dreams Until poor Simpkins issued screams, Of mortal anguish and despair (I guess it was a nightmare) This dream took the form of pedagogues. And other phantoms that looked like frogs. They built a mighty pier of books And acted then as first class cooks. They tied poor Simpkins to a grate And roasted him A No. 1 first rate. But he raised objections to being food, And began to behave in a manner rude. At Miss Nabemquick he glared in vain, She viciously wished to cut him in twain. Miss Blufwell, altho the best of the lot, Would eat him up right there on the spot. Herr Bitunbark merely looked and looked, And decided that he was thoroughly cooked. Prof. Flunkem capped it all by starting to “et” The toughest critter he ever had met. The unfortunate child shrieked out with might And awoke from the swoon in a terrible fright. Page 108 Canto 111. Our hero never got over the shock. His nerves were unstrung: from the awful knock. The doctor declared that he’d studied too hard But Ezra felt his existence was marred, He tried to study and pore over books, But his brain had been injured by pedagogue crooks He kept on a pining day after day Till his face became like the color of clay. His hands became skinny like spidery claws (They had once been beautiful velvety paws). His neck turned to rubber, his head to a brick And poor mama realized her darling was sick. His legs dwindled to toothpicks, most terribly thin All wrought by the padogogues horrible sin. At last our Simpkins was laid in a hole And now St. Michael has charge of his soul. Canto IV. A host of bright angels bore him on high Far, far from the terrible region of fry. They gave him a pair of feathery wings And a golden harp, to which he warbles and rings. He grew quite chummy with dear old St. Peter And even pronounced him a charming “creetur.” They both agreed that teachers exist Merely to fill up one’s mind with a mist On that point Simp’s arguments weren’t in vain. For St. Peter was also remarkably sane. At once he decided upon a great measure One that gave Simp a great deal of pleasure. Every school marmish mortal who came saying “ ’Tis 1” Should be sent post haste to the devil to fry. Every last one would get an enormous long tail. That would cause them to moan, groan, weep and bewail. St. Peter true to the word, hurled them head long. Where Satan met them with fork and with prong. He stuck them onto hot sizzling spits And twirled them around till they threw fits. They fussed and they fumed way down where they fell Which place known to mortals is fiery Hell. Paso Canto V. — Moral. Let this be a warning to pedagogues wild To make drastic measures a little more mild The school marnis of this great immortal age. Should know by this time that youth is no sage. His essential acquirements must be kept well in mind But on no account should the teacher expect him to grind, Lessons could be done at the pupil’s own will. At his own leisure his mind he could fill. The latest murders would be good work for his brain, Even “Snappy Stories” might be a great gain. ’Twould be best if there were no lessons at all, But that might make the School Board squall. So listen fair teachers! Give lessons of ease On doing so your pupils you’ll please. Give excuses at all possible times Oe’r look all the childish, small, petty crimes. Be sure to permit dozing and sleeping in class And ignore all the cheating, backtalk and sass. Encourage the Charleston with all might and main. And on you the praises of Central will rain. Remember the years of childhood are few. And do unto children as you’d have them do unto you. Suggested mottos most appropriate for any teacher's door: “Abandon hope, all ye who enter.” “Abode of wise and otherwise.” “This way with hard luck stories.” “Tie your little bull outside.” “Give me liberty or give me death.” “Fly Trap Inn. “Do as I say, not as I do.” “Dew Drop Inn.” “Danger.” “Always welcome.” “Busy; call again. rage 11 The Unwelcome Friend “Well. Mr. Hastings, have you read about the big murder?” demanded Miss Sinett. If you haven’t, you better hurry and do so. It’s something awful!” Awful, indeed,” retorted Miss Benty, “ ’Tis hardly safe for a body to walk the street in broad daylight these days!” Humph! spoke up Miss Landegby, You are too liberal in what you say, why, one is not safe in her own kitchen! Yes, it certainly is terrible. Here is this poor widow, toiling away over her wash tub in order to keep her hungry babies from starvation, when in comes this brute with a revolver and shoots her just because she wouldn’t marry him in days gone by,” remonstrated Mrs. Sitzby. These remarks were made by the boarders in Mrs. Sitzby’s boarding house as they sat around the gratefire discussing the murder which had recently occurred. The wind was howling outside, and the cold wet rain was coming down in torrents. As these people sat discussing this tragedy, and as more horrible details were talked over, they became very nervous; and what with the wind howling through eaves, and the rain slashing against the window panes they were all on the verge of hysterics. Suddenly a loud knock was heard at the door. Their minds immediately reacted to the murderer and their fright seemed to glue them to their chairs. After a series of these knocks, Mrs. Sitzby summoned up enough courage to go to the door. So lifting her large frame slowly she got up from her chair, and cautiously stepped into the hall. Walking up to the door she called out, Who is it?” It’s but a stranger who would like you to have pity enough on him to bring him in this cold and stormy night,” was the reply. Mrs. Sitzby then opened the door and ushered the stranger into the living room. He, of course, got the once-over from all of the occupants of the room. On his head he wore a fur cap which was pulled down over his right eye. His other eye, which was of a dark brown, pierced the boarders so that they slunk back in their seats. His cloak was long and black and appeared very old and tattered. In his right hand he carried an alligator bag while in his left a battered tin box. His whole aspect wasn't what one might call cheerful and had by no means a pleasing effect upon the boarders. Mrs. Sitzby was the first to break the silence by giving him a key and telling him that the only room she had for him was a small one in the back of the house which was No. 13. The stranger then took off his outer apparel, sat down at the desk and proceeded to write a letter. Miss Senett arose from her chair and left the room, casting furtive side-long glances in the direction of Mrs. Sitzby. The other boarders followed. Very soon Mrs. Sitzby, who had been left alone with the new-comer, asked him if he would please turn out the light when he went upstairs, and then made her departure from the room. Paso 111 On arriving in the upper hall she found all the boarders in a group, talking in hushed voices. On seeing the housekeeper Miss Benty immediately exclaimed: “The idea! Your letting that stranger in and then putting him in a room right next to mine! I just can’t sleep in my room alone, for I just know he is the murderer of Mrs. Boydell!” “Now, Carrie,” said Miss Sinett, “You’re just excited. I’ll come in and sleep with you. “Why, there’s no need to be disturbed at all. He’s just a traveler who got caught in the storm. You wouldn’t want me to turn him into the street. I'm sure, declared Mrs. Sitzby. The controversy was thus decided and in a short time all the lights were out except the one in the living room. Soon after this, however, a tramp was heard on the stairs and a light began to burn in room 13. Of course the Misses Benty and Sinett were not asleep but were lying in bed with ears alert to every sound. They could hear the clock ticking in the hall, the wind whirling, and the rain beating against the house but no suspicious sound from room 13 until— “Oh, Carrie!” whispered one of them, “Can’t you hear that woman? He is torturing her!” They listened. “Oh, please don’t, please don’t,” in a shrill voice and then a retort in a deep gutteral tone, “Ah, thatfs good!” This kept up for what seemed hours to the two occupants of room 12 until they could endure it no longer. So creeping out of their room, they stole stealthily down the hall in the direction of Mrs. Sitzby’s room. They knocked softly on the door and then walked in. Of course Mrs. Sitzby was quite excited, but she tried to appear calm. She got up and they started back down the hall to a room where two men slept. They wakened the men ard told tvem of what they had heard. They decided the only thing they could do would be to enter the stranger’s room and save the woman who was being tortured so unmercifully. They all moved quietly down the hall. Misses Sinett and Benty had an air of being martyrs to get up in the night and save this woman. Mrs. Sitzby was quite stirred up over the whole affair since it would give a bad name to her boarding house. The men were half asleep and were cursing Mrs. Sitzby under their breath for admitting this stranger who was causing so much commotion. But when they reached room 13 they all joined forces and with one mighty shove the door fell in and they fell with it. Like one person they all lifted their eyes and there they beheld the stranger sitting in a rocking chair, smoking his pipe, and listening to an opera which was coming over a radio of his own invention.

I’atro 1 i:t m - $ ! • $ r An Account of the Battle of Vanilla Bay By Xunnayar Bizness At the outbreak of the Spinach-American War, Back-Admiral George Blooey was stationed at the United States Naval Station at Kawkawlin. So immediately upon receiving the order quoted above Blooey greased up the oar locks, took on an extra load of bricks, and set sail for the Passissic Ocean by way of the Gulf of New Mexico. After battling the awful storms of the Tittabawassee passage and after being forced to get out and walk. Admiral Blooey (and incidentally the rest of the navy), reached the Hillobeans Islands near the mouth of Vanilla Bay. Because it would have been a breach of ettyketty to sail past the land batteries on the heights above the harbor while the Spiniards were behind the guns, and since they perversely refused to get in front of them, Bilooey hesitated outside the harbor mouth. Then he called up his brave German lootenant Mike O’Toole and, handing him a cigar, Blooey said, “Mike after your years of service in the Royal Swiss Navy you should know something of land batteries. They tell me that this one is a dry battery but I think they’re all wet. Now I want you to take as many men as you want, even up to three. Your only order will be, ‘Short circuit that battery. Go Mike clicked his heels, saluted and said, “I regret that 1 have but one life to give for my country and that one isn't mine. Oh Moron. oo hoo. Drop that mop and come with me.” Some time has collapsed, Mike O’Toole and his companion Moron McNitwit are creeping stealthily along in the moonlight. Suddenly a harsh voice rings out In the name of St. Cauliflower of Salzburg, who goes there!” It was a desperate situation but O'Toole’s active mind saved the day, I mean night. “Sure,” he said, “It’s only a couple of us dogs.” The sentry heaved a sigh of relief and resumed his pacing. “Moron,” whispered Mike a few minutes later as they crouched near the dark doorway of the fortress. “I’m going to show you how much I love you. I’m going to let you be a hero and get all the honor and glory. All you have to do is crawl in there and find the powder magazine and blow it up. Think of the chance for heroism ana patriotic service. It’s superb. MAYBE you’ll even get out alive. With a catch in his voice and tears in his eyes, Moron thanked his generous comrade and crept into the fort. An hour passed, then another and another and still a other. (This makes four hours). Mike was becoming uneasy, then a slight noise as Moron knocked a cannon ofT its mounting and he reappeared bearing a bundle. “I’m sorry, Mike,” he whispered, “I couldn’t find the powder magazine but here are five copies of the Saturday Evening Post, two Ladies’ Home Journals, a Literary Digest and—” Pow! Clank! Biff! Bam! Pa pro 115 A military jury later freed O’Toole on a verdict of justifiable homicide. After finishing with Moron, Mike began, for the first time in many years, to think. The agonizing effort caused the cold sweat to burst forth on his furrowed brow, then a light burst. Mike took from his pocket the cigar which Admiral Blooey had given him and putting on a gas mask, he lighted it and tossed it into the fort. Only one man, stronger than the others, reached the door merely to drop dead as he came into the open. After making sure that all the others were plenty dead Mike returned to the fleet. At dawn. Blooey ordered the fleet to advance before the guns of the now helpless fort. Upon reaching the broad waters of the bay, the Spanish fleet was conspicuous chiefly because of its apparent absence. (This is either a paradox or a mistake.) The Spinach commander General DeLay had hidden his fleet in the bull rushes. Blooey was in a quandry. How could there be a battle with no one to fight? But wait! One of the officers on the bridge sniffs the air and shouts the order to don gas masks. The Spanish national fruit, the onion, had been the undoing of the Spiniards. The aroma of their breakfast cooking had betrayed their hiding place to the enemy ten miles across the bay. When General DeLay saw that their retreat had been discovered, he sailed out to meet Blooey but the Spinach and American ship were prevented from engaging by three cows and a bull who waded out into the bay between the ships, and despite the requests of the sailors, although they were well punctuated and emphasized by hearty kicks, the aforementioned bovines refused to evacuate. Blooey sat down on a coil of rope and wept bitterly because he was unable to fight but the ready O’Toole came once more to the rescue. Clad in a red bathing suit he dove o. erboard and swam toward the enemy ships. The bull, enraged at the sight of the red suit, pursued him closely. Swimming up to the Spinach flagship, the Mud-skow, Mike flattened himself against the side. The bull evidently liked the idea and tried to help by flattening him some more, but Mike objected and dodged and with a mighty crash the bull struck the vessel. The Mudskow keeled over and rocked like a Ford with two flat tires and a broken spring and then began to settle to the port with a gaping hole in her side. One after another the Spinach ships met a similar fate, the Hashounde, the Giffeldingus and the St. Sooptonuts going down in rapid succession. The Spinach fleet was no more. In fact it was not even just as much. Blooey at once awarded O’Toole the Iron Double Cross, The Extinguished Sendee Cross and the Royal Order of the Whatchamacallit and awarded himself three of each of the above medals. The Battle of Vanilla Bay had been won without firing a shot and the Americans lost only ten men. These ten were the ones who dropped dead when Blooey ordered extra dessert for supper.
