IT ; • “lev v r r Pa«i� 1G In the winter the football held Is flooded, and thus Central has a huge skating rink, which is crowded evenings as well as daytimes by Centralites and people from all over the city. It is the largest rink in the city, aside from the river. Among our well-knowns: In this picture are Howard Lowery. Charlotte MacKinnon. Ruth Wentworth, Virgil Frantz. Marjorie Tupper, Howard Walther, Ethel Routell, and many others as famous. Page 18 l . — Between the pinnacles. the Central Lunch Hoorn, one of the most Opular places about the school, which will be famous in later years as the hangout of so many prominent people. And on the right—a peek into ihe 1 brary, where, of course, all one ever thinks of is study, study, study. i The Athletic field is back of schoo1. cn which practice the track and l a shall teams in the spring. In the fall it is reserved for the struggling Senior. C. S. L. and Council football teams, and excavations are being planned at present to recover the broken weapons lost here in the last C. S. L.-Council battle. We are looking toward the future. And our hearts are filled with joy; For our knowledge gained at Central Hi, Is as gold without alloy. We shall ever face the morrow, With hearts both strong and true; And ever praises loudly sing, Our dear High School of you. Chorus: Farewell, farewell, dear Central, We bid you now adieu; Twenty-eight will ever owe All its laurels to you. We’ve won you many honors, In these three years at school; As we followed close your teachings. And obeyed the golden rule. May we ever feel thy guidance, As we journey on our way, And think with pleasant memories Of our graduation day.

This sweeping accomplishment has been greatly increased by the final flurry of activities which have become part of the routine of commencement. However, this feeling of satisfaction which always accompanies the accomplishment of some good and difficult deed is only the natural result, for we have taken advantage of the opportunities offered us, and after four years of labor and struggle are entitled to this feeling of satisfaction. During the past high school days we have kept ever before us this goal of self-attainment, and having now reached our prize, we have a sensation of pleasure which never before has been ours to possess. To believe, however, that we reached this end through our efforts only, is a belief not only branding us with the worst of conceit, but is making a statement that no graduate would care to sign his name to. There is not a member of this class who does not know to whom he owes the deepest and most sincere thanks. Although at first thought we might consider only an immediate group, with a deeper look we see many others who have contributed that we might reach the success we have achieved. Our parents, who are also the taxpayers, are the first of whom we think. To them we owe a great deal. With their money and cooperation they have built for us one of the finest institutions of learning that money can produce. They too have supplied us with instruments and material of learning which too often we have not taken the time and effort to show a proper kind of appreciation for. • A ft With only our text and the school, however, how far could we have traveled along the paths of learning without the personal instruction and guidence from our teachers? Beside the knowledge of the books that they have imparted to us. they have instructed us in a course of higher moral and finer ideals which could be found in no text. With this support and encouragement that we have received from our parents, teachers, friends and the community itself, are we thoughtlessly to take them with no thought of giving something in return? No, if we will but use just a few of these advantages which have been so generously showered around us and will go out into the world and make a better place for humanity, and produce a little higher grade of citizenship, then we’ll feel that their efforts have been well repaid. So it is our task in the world to pay our debts to those who have given us their time, labor, and encouragement. So let us. the graduates of 1928, unite in thanking our parents, teachers, and the community, for their support, and let us take a firm stand to make the world a better place because of the guidance and training we receive in fid Central High.

We have just finished our trip along this smooth paved stretch that has taken us three years to travel. As we come to this point, however, we start to gaze earnestly at the many various roads to determine which one we shall begin our life work on. The main highway, the straight road to a higher school education, is extending ahead for some of us. Near at hand, branching off this highway on either side, are paths of many professions that widen in the distance. These paths will be followed to success by others of our class. Lastly, at rare intervals, there are some blind leads that will do their best to ensnare a few from our group. Each of these three divisions will have a number of followers, and so our clafts will contribute to all of the various phases of life. But'before we begin our journey, we pause with thoughts of the things we are leaving behind us. Utmost in importance is the reflection of the school itself that we may never see again. This building is a second home to us, and through our years here has found a sacred place in our hearts; the mere thought of leaving this flno school seems almost unbearable, Secondly, there is the breaking of our many friendships, both with the teachers and with the students. Every one of these intimate comradeships fs in itself a hard bond to break, but it must be done. Lastly, there are the memories of our actions that we are taking away with us. In future years, these remembrances will be all there, to link us to old Central and our many friendships. Even now we are musing upon our actions through our three years at Central. Starting with our first day here as students, we have followed through our whole career. The foundation we made as Freshmen, the beginning of our active career as Sophomores, the long year that endeared beyond comparison everything connected with Central as Juniors, and finally the realizing climax that cuts off further connections with Central High School as Seniors—even now these thoughts are imbedded deeply and firmly in our minds. These memories will increase ten-fold in importance and sincerity as the years roll onward; the glory of our Central will become endeared and unpartable. Each graduating class has these same emotions, and likewise each graduating class has the same ideals and purposes. Every graduation is a stepping stone to a more practical and a more realistic life; this life is filled with unpretended hardships and worries which only the person concerned can overcome. These ills cannot be overcome unless this person has the Pasre 44 right kind of foundation upon which to build his character. This foundation is acquired in the high school, but it is not measured by mere marks or records. These marks and records can be crushed and destroyed by being burned to ashes, but a person will succeed if he has built this inward foundation inside of him, and has made it a part of him. It is this inward foundation of character that is undestroyable throughout life, and it is only this character that the student has made for himself that will result in complete success. The High School is the best organized institution for forming character. The high ideals of the school, set down in school societies and school organizations, and pictured in class rooms by the instructors, cannot fail to mold a student’s qualities along the right line if they are received in the same spirit that they are given. After all, this forming of character by forming the foundation to build it upon is Central’s real task. This work is being done for the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen that will be graduating soon. Every student should realize this point concerning the work of our Central. If this is realized, the school will have fulfilled its purpose, and student will have derived everything possible from his three years in high school. The graduating class of June, 192$, is now leaving upon its various paths of life to determine just how thoroughly grounded its foundation is. We hope it has been well constructed. Three years ago the present Seniors entered Central High School with the greatest ambition and highest ideals set before them. Naturally it is commonly said that Central High entrants are like new-born babies in the woods; or in other words, that they are incapable of accomplishing tasks that confront them. In the fall we elected our Sophomore officers: President. Ellsworth Allison; vice-president, viola Manary; secretary, Ruby DeBats; treasurer. Dean Ash; sergeant-at-arms. Norman Tafelski. who, like the “coureurs de hois”, paved the way for the immediate future. The leading event of our Sophomore class was a “get together” party, where (we) class members, became better acquainted with one another. At our meetings various problems were discussed. We sent two boys to the Older Boys Conference at Lansing, and two girls to the corresponding girls event at Jackson. As we ascended the ladder of education, and found ourselves Juniors, again we chose our “coureurs de bois”: President. Arnold Shaw; vice-president. Clara Arneson; secretary, Elva Nelson; treasurer, Geraldine Oviatt; sergeant at arms, Carroll Burton, who further penetrated the forests of education and led us through the dangerous perils to success. The Junior play. “The Goose Hangs High”, was the super-production put on by the selected cast of Junior members. It was a delightful play, and proved a huge success. The next event was ably carried through by Arnold Shaw and Lamar Skelton, as our class delegates to the Older Boys’ Conference. The Girl Reserve conference was held here, and accordingly many girls had the opportunity to attend. The social climax of the Junior year was the annual J-Hop. The Hop was a brilliant function, and the Junior Class felt proud of their fine management. As the ‘coureurs de bois” continued on with their expedition, so did the Senior Class begin their expedition. Among the leaders of the former several names stand out prominently, and so we found in the Senior Class the leaders who helped to succeed were: President, Austin Race; vice-president. Arnold Shaw; secretary, Viola Manary; treasurer, Maurice Taylor; sergeant-at-arms, William Jones. Plans for the Senior party were brought about and the event was the main success of the year. Not alone through the efforts of the officers did our class fare so well during the past years, but also through the untiring endeavors of our sponsors—Miss Merrill and Mr. Murphy more glory was added to our class escutcheon. Now after seeking knowledge for three years, we have at least attained the pinnacle—the height from which we will start, either to reach toward a higher education, or to become a part of the great commercial c!a?8 in which the business of the world is transacted.

In only three games were we scored upon during the entire season, but unfortunately those three times spelled defeat. CENTRAL DOWNS SCHOOL FOR DEAF As the curtain rose. Central downed the Michigan School for Deaf by a 6-0 score. The score would indicate a close, hard game with each team fighting desperately to score, but just the opposite was true. Time after time Bay City backs slipped around the ends, and crashed through the tackles to gain much ground. But at critical times when yardage meant r.cores, the ball carriers just could not gain. The Deaf school narrowly averted a touchdown when they recovered a fumble. Such terrific hammering. however, was not to be denied, and the Purple and Gold finally ripped through the goal for the only score of the game. The point after touchdown try failed. Throughout the fray, the locals were never in danger; the line held, an.l every attack of the opposition was smothered before it was fairly under way. MIDLAND DEFEATED, 80-0 In the second tilt of the season, the locals whitewashed Midland High ?0-0. We need not go into details here; let it be suffice to say that the back field's work was all that could be desired. They tore the Midland line !o shreds with their fierce attack, and the passing went ofT smoothly. The Midland team was lighter than that of Central, and depended almost entirely upon an aerial attack to carry them through. This method of attack failed completely, and so Midland’s only chance went soaring. PORT MI RON ROWS TO CENTRAL The following week. Central encountered the fast Port Huron eleven, maintained their winning stride, and defeated them 6-0 in a close and thrilling game. Fast and tricky, the Port Huron lads exhibited a neat passing attack coupled with some swift running. Several times long passes were completed, and it looked as if Central were in for a bad afternoon. Although many tmes in sight of their goal, the Port Huron team lost the ball each time, invariably on downs. The homesters defense tightened at each danger moment. But one young man in particular gave our boys something to worry about. He was fast and slippery shooting around the ends, and often nearly escaping entirely. Bay City’s chance finally came, and a long toss paved the way for the only score. WK DEFEAT BEDFORD The fourth game was merely a continuance of the conquering march. Bedford, the only Detroit team scheduled to appear, was on hand. The boys from the big city opened up with barrage of passes. Long passes, short passes, lateral passes all were tried, and hardly one completed. Our line was stronger than Sampson himself. In some respects, the 1927 eleven was of championship caliber. Certainly our forward wall has never seen its equal here in many years. It was practically invulnerable. Not once did the opposition crash and rip its way through for a coveted six points. The only comparison we can see fit to make would be as one who attempts to break down a wall of stone by sheer force. Page 77 Central gained at will, scoring three touchdowns and two points after touchdown. SAGINAW EASTERN—FIRST DEFEAT OF Ot'R TEAM The Kevittmen met their first defeat of the season when they journeyed to Saginaw Eastern. Passes were the primary cause of Central's downfall. The backfield men failed to cover the upriver men. and a long toss from Maksimowicz accounted for Eastern’s first score. A field goal made by Saginaw ended all scoring for the day. try as Central might, and the first black mark was chalked up against her. WHITEWASHED KY MT. CLEMENS On September 29. Mt. Clemens again blanked us 7-0. The bane of the Purple and Gold all season—passes—accounted for this loss. A long 26-yard pass by Wormsbacker. the Mt. Clemens captain, to one of his ends, was completed; the end stapped the few remaining yards to the final line without molestation. Wormsbacker contributed point after goal. The local backfield was unable to count in this battle, as in the previous one. although they tried hard. CENTRAL-ARTHFR HILL; ANOTHER VICTORY The Arthur Hill game was a repetition of other previous Central victories, and so we will not describe it fully. The backs continued their pounding tactics, and with the aid of the forward wall another Hay City victory was marked up. AND THEN FLINT WINS The hardest beating of the season was taken from the hands of Flint Central on November 5. Coach Muir’s lads passed the homesters to death. Chet Lipski figured largely in the Flint triumph, passing brilliantly and making one long run to score. Central’s lone touchdown was made by Bill Jones, who rammed his way through the Flint line. END OF THE SEASON—OCR GREATEST GAME On Thanksgiving day the season was closed when Detroit Northeastern was vanquished 24-0. The field was slimy and ankle-deep with mud from a previous rain and snow storm, making fast play impossible. Beatty, the Detroit ace. was unable to get started in the ocean of mud. although he did make two pretty runs. The Central attack was at its height here. The line opened holes large enough for a truck to drive through, and the ball carriers squirmed and twisted to from three to ten yards at a clip. We scored in each of the four periods. Bill Jones accounted for two and Jerry Jones and vRed” Schafer each one. And so the season closed fittingly in a blaze of glory for Central. The individual scorers are as follows: W. Jones T.D. . . 5 P.A.T. 0 T.P. 30 Foss . . 0 18 J. Jones , . 2 0 12 Petty . . 2 0 12 Schafer 0 12 Smith . 1 0 6 Ricker 0 6 Ross 0 6 Kavanaugh . . . . 3 3 Taire 7S BILL JONES JERRY JONES CLARE PEMBROKE JOHN ROSS LESTER SMITH HAINES ARNOLD MAURICE TAYLOR BASKETBALL The basketball season was ushered in December 15 by a triumph over Harbor Springs. The score was 31-17. It was a Central game from beginning to end. Basketballs rained into the hoop from every angle and distance. and Harbor Springs was soon left in the distance. PETOSKEY-CEXTRAL, 17-14 The following day. December 16. Petoskey was encountered in the second of a two game road series. The boys from up north dropped Bay City by a 17-14 score. The Petoskey boys were long and lanky, and passed fast, but the Purple and Gold should have won quite handily. The locals broke loose several times for chances right under the basket, but something was wrong, and many shots were missed which would have cinched the game for Central. ARTHl'R HILL-CENTRAL, 11-120 In the first valley game of the year at Saginaw. Arthur Hill succumbed easily. 20-11. Osterbeek did most of the scoring for the Hills: his mates were unable to get within short range of the basket, and failed to score from the longer distances. Central displayed an attack which constantly kept the Saginawians in hot water. Our boys counted in every period to bring home out second victory. PORT HI RON-CENTRAL, 7-20 A 20-7 avalanche crushed Port Huron in the inauguration of the home season. Chief’s proteges exhibited a marvelous defense that was impenetrable. It is very rarely in basketball that one sees a team held so closely. Never did Port Huron men break open for close shots, and our opponents could not hold back our fast offense, which swept everything before it. MT. CLEMENS-CENTRAL, 13-23 On January 20. ample revenge was gained upon Mt. Clemens for the football defeat. The score was: Central 25, Mt. Clemens 13. Passing that won for Mt. Clemens in football did them little good here, for it was broken up quickly while Central’s worked to perfection. SAGINAW EASTERN -CENTRAL, 15-28 Our old time rivals. Saginaw Eastern, were our opponents on January 26. The hearts of all local fans were gladdened by the decisive manner in which the up-river lads were outclassed. Central emerged on the long end of a 28-15 score. The boys were “hot” that night, and played Saginaw off their feet. From every point on the floor shots were dropped through. The Saginaw boys tried desperately, but it just wasn’t their night. Glen St ruble led the attack with five field goals followed closely by Jerry Jones. It looked bad for Central when Bill Jones went out on fouls shortly after the beginning of the second half, but the other boys managed to keep ihe banner high and unsoiled. Early in the contest. Coach Beatty's charges threatened with a fast passing game, but it was only a flash in the pan which soon died out. LANSING-CENTRAL, 28-17 The next week the team hopped to Lansing, where a snag was met in the Big Red five. They conquered Central 28-17. The Central offense, which bewildered Saginaw, was stopped in this fray, and the defense also could not hold the Lansing boys in check. Defeat was the result. Paw so A bolt of lightning from Flint caused Central her second successive defeat. The score was 19-13. Flint showed one of the fasters dribblers and shooters ever seen here in a long time in Chester Lipski. This young speed merchant dribbled through the Central defense time and again to score 15 of his team’s 19 points. The only way to stop him was to foul him. and that would have done no good, for he would have scored again, and the Purple and Gold were unable to out-score Coach Muir’s five. JACKSON-CENTRAL, 20-10 Jackson next bowed to Central 20-10. Jackson had one of the best aggregations in the state, which went to the finals, but lost out to Detroit Northwestern there. This will give you an idea of Central’s peerless playing. Each time they trickled through the Jackson defense and scored while effectively holding Jackson. OW SS )-(’I:NTRA L, 8-28 The Jackson victory was followed by a win over Owosso. 26-8. The game was strictly Central from the opening gun. and uninteresting from the spectators point of view, because of Central’s great superiority. ARTHUR HILL-CENTRAL, 18-27 The conquering march was continued when Arthur Hill was again taken Into camp, this time by a 27-18 count. The game was almost a reptition of the former one with Osterbeck scoring most for the Hills, mostly from long distance, and Central scoring with ease. SAGINAW EASTERN-CENTRAL, 17-15 The Saginaw series was evened up when Saginaw Eastern t ook the second game, 17-15. It was a hard fight from beginning to end with the opposition finally nosing us out. ANN ARBROR-CENTRAL, 25-111 The choice bit of the basketball menu was served February 24, when Ann Arbor, aspirants for the state title, appeared. A spurt in the second half won for Ann Arbor in a thrill-packed game. The score was 26-19. The opening gun had hardly died away when Bill Jones tipped the ball through the hoop for two points. Central kept scoring, and at the half had a commanding lead. But Ann Arbor, seemingly unconcerned, came back with a vengeance in the second period to hold the homesters to two baskets while garnering enough themselves to win. Tessmer and Korzcuk led the Ann Arbor squad; Bill and Jerry Jones led the Nevittmen. FLINT CENTRAL-CENTRAL, 30-24 The regular season was closed with a loss to Flint Central, 30-24. Lipski again led the Red and Black attack. Although he could not continue his dribbling tactics, he did garner six goals from long distance, which, with the help of his mates was enough to win. THE STATE TOURNAMENT In the opening round of the State tournament. Central defeated Flint Northern in a tame affair, 16-14. but lost out in the second round to Sag-naw Eastern 13-12. The locals fought hard, but couldn’t quite win out. The season's record: Opponents Central Opponents 19 13 10 17 31 8 17 14 18 11 20 17 7 20 26 13 25 36 15 28 — 28 17 246 Central 20 26 27 15 19 24 299 For the first time since 1921, Central has been represented in state circles by a track team. After the spring of 1921, track was dropped, and only now has it been reinstated. It has been definitely decided that track will displace baseball next spring. It has taken a firm hold, and is here to stay. In the matter of victories, the Purple and Gold thinclads were unfortunate. They engaged in two meets, and failed to win either, but it is assured that next season Bay City tracksters will do much better. All were green, inexperienced men fighting against veterans; but now being experienced. they will give a better account of themselves. The team was composed of: Ken. Halsted. Jim Watters. Morris Taylor. Ed. and Gil. Randall. Scott Felmlee. Richard Doty. Oscar Baker. Archie MacMillan. Fred Reer. Fred Cloliset. Gerald Holmes. Lovell Moeller and Ray Beson. In the first meet of the year, the district meet. Central scored hut 1 1-3 points, coming from a fourth in the low hurdles and a three way tie for fourth in the pole vault: THE POINTS: CLASS A Lansing................... 63 Flint Northern............ 36 5-6 Flint Central............. 38 1-3 Saginaw Eastern............. 14 1-2 Bay City.................. 11-3 SUMMARY OF EVENTS 120 yard high hurdles—Sackrider (Flint Central).

In the field events Bay City showed marked superiority over their opponents.. but were too weak in running events. GOLF In Golf. Central exhibited a fine, well-balanced team which won the district meet at Mt. Peasant. Sacred Heart .Academy, of Mt. Pleasant, placed. Jerry Jones, of Bay City, was also individual champion and high-scorer of the meet. The Bay City team was composed of Glen Struble, Lester and Pete Smith, and Jerry Jones. This quartet ably represented Central. Although they did not place in the state meet, they tried hard. Golf is new nt Central, and we will be much stronger next year. Page 82 BASEBALL Another successful Central baseball season is drawing rapidly to a close, but it is extremely improbable that the national pastime will retain its seat upon the throne of spring sports. It would have been abandoned this year but for the fact that something was needed to take the place of spring football. which has been banned by state coaches. Track will undoubtedly supplant baseball next spring. The season was opened disastrously with a defeat at the hands of Flint Central, 9-1. Chet Lipski, who usually cavorts at third base, performed on the mound for Flint, and. as the score indicates, he was practically invincible. His speed and curves were too much for the locals' taste as he mowed them down with increasing regularity. While holding the homesters. Coach Stan. Bruhm’s boys were gathering enough runs to win easily. Central did the unexpected in her second tilt by conquering Saginaw Eastern. Saginaw had previously vanquished Flint Central, w’ho had downed the Purple and Cold in turn. The up-river lads were expected to ♦ rample “Chief Nevitt’s proteges in the mire, but the tables were suddenly ♦urned upon them. The score: Central. 10; Saginaw, 7. The Saginaw nine outhit the home team 19 to 8, but their blows were scattered over the route, whereas Central bunched their hits effectively, and these coupled with three or four errors were enough to decide the game for Bav City. Caslin, Saginaw pitcher, was in good form, allowing only eight bingles. but the faulty playing of his mates spelled defeat for him. Saginaw Arthur Hill found much cause for grief when they journeyed to Central to take a beating 17-13. It was a weird game. Nearly all the plays in baseball’s catalogue were served to the fans. There were errors, sparkling plays and hitting galore. Both aggregations smacked the pill hard and often. Bay City reaching Osterbeck, the Hills pitcher, more frequently than the Saginaw boys hit the homesters. It took three hours to complete this monstrosity of baseball. The n xt two victims, in order of their defeats, were Flint Central, our former conqueror, and Saginaw Arthur Hill once again. The score of the Flint game was 4-3. Central played wonderful ball. Wanless. local pitcher, was in rare form, and but for the opening inning, when the Red and Black scored all their runs, he was untouchable. Central, playing hard, knotted the count in the sixth. Both coaches had agreed to play only seven innings. In the sixth, Lipski had gone into the box for Flint, and was having little trouble. The first two men went out in lapid order, and it looked as if there wrould be an overtime game. Louie Westover revived the fans’ hopes when he smashed a hot grounder down second which the second baseman missed. The next man up cut at a fast ball, and missed; the catcher also missed the ball. Westover had begun a teal of second with the pitch; the Flint team protested that the batter had fouled the ball. Umpire Dardas turned as if to order Westover back to first when Lipski snapped the ball to second in an attempt to catch Westover. The throw went wild, and Westover raced to third, from where he came home when the toss from the outfield also was wild. Flint will probably protest on the grounds that the pitched ball was foul, but it is doubtful that it will be granted. Arthus Hill was easily taken into camp June 5th, 8-2. Sandry, Central second string pitcher, held the Hills in the hollow' of his hand, and another tep was taken toward the valley championship. There remains but one game, w’ith Saginaw Eastern, on June 9. The locals are determined to win, as victory would mean the valley championship. . GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM WILMA SNOVER MYRTLECOLLER GARNETTA HAIG ELIZABETH SMITH MILDRED KRIEWALL LEONA NEWCOMBE GERALDINE OVIATT DOLORES FLAJOLE .JOSEPHINE WILLISTON The fencing club was organized in the season of 1926-1927. by a few beys of Central that had wanted to follow the sport of fencing. A team was formed, but no matches were fought. The club started out this season with a few of the old members in addition to several new ones. The members practiced all season under the direction of Myron Poole, and pave a single exhibition in the way of a “free for all match staged at the Central-Indians basketball game. The club disbanded somewhat with the coming of the warmer weather. The membership stood at the end of the club year: Edward McMillan, Archibald McMillan, John Gudchinskv, Merritt Hartley, Stewart Brains, Hugo Schmidt, and Myron Poole, who is not represented in the picture.

Any student interested in crania was considered eligible for the tryouts, regardless of previous experience r distinctive class membership. The cast which presented this difficult play proved the success of this method of tryouts. To this entirely new group of Central’s dramatists goes the just credit for producing so capably Israel Zangwell’s dramatic triumph. This production set a precedent which it is hoped will become an annual event, and is also Central’s first attempt at serious, heavy drama. ’Twas second to none—equalled by few.

The stage work was conducted by Mr. Yeakey. and under his clever guidance clever special scenery was constructed to provide the Irish atmosphere.

Page 93 The hand has been very active this year working on the fund for new hand uniforms. The Minstrel Revue, which was given last fall, was for the benefit of this fund. For one week the hand gave concerts every night at the Orpheum Theatre, the proceeds from this also going to the uniform fund. The hand did not go to Mt. Pleasant this year. It was decided by the members that it would he better to save the expenses for the new uniforms, and also to buy new instruments, so that next year will start out with a hang. in the late spring and summer the hand will give concerts in Wenonah and Pershing parks to swell the increasing uniform fund. Besides these activities, the hand also played at the football and basketball games, and at several assemblies. From the progress made this year, and the untiring efforts which was put into it. it will not be long before the entire band will have new uniforms.

Miss Foster and Mr. Ferris, for their invaluable assistance the past year in the publishing of the Centralia and the Annual. It is believed that none of the twenty-five years during which the Council has been in existence has been more notable for its activities than «he pr.st one. in November a delegate was sent to the Hi-Y Conferenc at Pontiac. Th first C. S. L. Council of 30 party was held early in December A short time later we presented a very successful program in assembly. On December 16, in the Little Theater, the annual Founder’s Day Banquet, the biggest event of our year took place. At our regular initiation during exam. week, seven neophytes became full-fledged members. We were very active in the prodution of the all-school play. The Council gave a very successful dance, one of the outstanding social events of the school year, at the Grotto, on March 23. The year’s activities ended with the initiation of eight ncoplyter cn May 29. Pairc ?8 First Semester Second Semester President...................Ellsworth Allison Paul Belknap Vice-President..............Paul Belknap Alfred Kaynor Secretary...................Marvin Persons Fred Clohset Treasurer...................Carol Burton Gustave Kechlin Sergeant at Arms............William Merry Cecil MeGirr Under the advisorship of our sponsors, the C. S. L. brings to a close one of the most successful seasons of its history. During the year we have held two of our super-scientific initiations. A football team was organized which ranks with the best intra-mural teams. Two scientific field trips were held, one to the Michigan Sugar Company and one to the Dow Chemical Company of Midland. Other activities were two open meetings, which proved to be very successful: a joint party with the Council of 30, and an assembly which was put on the latter part of May. Dispersed through the club’s regular business meetings have been several speakers, speeches by members, a mock trial, parliamentary drill, and a special feature was an illustrated slide lecture on gas production, which was given by Allen Markey. Members include: Paul Belknap. Fred Clohset. Marvin Persons. Paul C mpeau, Clarence DeBats. Vergil Frantz, Alfred Kaynor, Donald McCaus-land. Larry Reichenbach. Frederick Pond. Gerald Reed. Louis Holland. Bousfield Ward. Bill Kerr. Gustave Rechlin. Lyle Reinhardt, Bernard Kinsel. Bernard Girard. Cecil MeGirr. Stewart Brams. Floyd Raymond. Harold Pfenniger, Culver Jones. Hugh King. George Wilson, James Schmidt. Otis Heath. Warren Fisk. Russell Toeppner. Ward Vanderbilt, Mike Arhutick. and Tyler McVey. The sponsors for the C. S. L. are Mr. Rogers and Mr. Maloney. Sixteen students turned out in response to the call for debate try-outs last fall. Of these eight were successful, as follows: Affirmative Team—Paul Balknap. Cecil McGirr, Marvin Persons, Fred Braman, Eren Learman. Negative Team—Lyle Higgs, Oscar Baker. Dorothea Gollin. , The season’s results were: Central, Aff., 0; Saginaw, Neg., 4. Central, Neg.. 4: Midland. Aff.. 0. Central, AfT.. 1; Flint. Neg., 3. Central. Aff., 3; Owosso, Neg., 1. The debaters were presented with debate letters in a special assembly. As a proper closing of the season the teams attended the championship debate at Ann Arbor on April 28-29. Page 100 GIRL RESERVES The theme of work for the year has been “The Art of Living . Each meeting has taken up some phase of this art. The activities of the year have included service for Indian children, which was sending Christmas gifts. Also world fellowship work, which included gifts to Mexican children. Another important part was the mid-winter conference in Lansing, which was attended by 13 girls. The spring season was marked with two successful dances, the first given in the S. O. Fisher home, the second being the annual spring prom. The girls are now planning on the summer conference to be held at ('amp Gray. The officers for the year have been: Advisor, Miss Crowder; President, Lelah Nemode; Vice-President. Grace Barnett; Secretary, Virginia Sharp; Treasurer, Sylvia Johnson. s CtnWALM THE BOYS GLEE CLUB The Hoys’ Glee Club has progressed very nicely this year under the directh n of Mr. Evans, though they were not quite as active as in former years. In the fall a Minstrel Revue was put on by the music department, and in this many members of the Glee Club played important parts. In March. 1928. the music department gave a comic opera. “The Lass of Limerick Town”. This opera called for a good many male characters, which were very well taken by members of the Glee Club. Cn several different occasions during the year the Glee Club sang in assemblies. The Glee Club did not attend the state music contest at Mt. Pleasant this year, as Mr. White decided that they would be unable to learn the music in time for the contest. Patfe 102 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club covered itself with glory this year by winning the state championship in the finals at Ann Arbor. This special group of girls, under the direction of Mr. Charles H. White, was entered in a field of keen competitors representing the largest schools of the State, but despite the odds they came through with flying colors. The girls have been royally entertained since their victory. Another Cup has been added to Central’s collection. ECCLESIA LITERARY SOCIETY During the past year the Bcclesia has studied vocations, contemporary authors and works, and different religions. A committee was chosen for each meeting to present one of these subjects. Chief among the activities of the past year are the Founders Day banquet and the Council Bcclesia debate.
