Their footsteps cello ‘louts thee wide In cadence Moft ouch iluy And when the purling hour is nigh They Mildly die away. And when they've left thee, silence soft. When sciirce is done that hour. New echoes wake thy snered walls New ones thou doHf embower. Thus time within thee wings away And happy days pass o’er. But we who go will oft return la memory sweet of yore. CKNTKAI.

Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel. 1 hat shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!' I av by day the vessel grew, ith timbers fashioned strong and true; Common sense is made the keel. Much stronger than the strongest steel. More shapely, too, to outward view; Ribs of Latin, sides � f Greek. W hich, sheathed in Knglish, never leak. Algebra, which forms the beam, W arp proof to weight and heat and steam, Holds the deck. Geometry Secure; the deck rail History With graceful turn From bow to stern Surrounds the cabin. Chemistry. And nothing remaining But smoothing and planing, lie who listened heard clear and true The song of the Principal and his Crew: ‘Build me straight. O Worthy Master! Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel. That shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!’ ’ All is finished! and at length Has come commencement day Of sunshine and of strength. I oday the “Senior” shall he launched! Her face with work and care once blanched Is bright and gay; Her dress is of a seasonable hue, A snow hite top with water line of Blue. The C entral ship yard, high in fame For launching ships of strength and size Outriding all the storms that rise. Is justly proud of work and name; And as the “Senior” slides her pin. And rolls into Life’s sunny bay, Above the splash, gay sounds, and din. She thinks she hears her Builders say: ‘‘bear not each sudden sound and shock; Tis of the wave and not the rock; ‘Tis but the flapping of the sail. And not a rent made by the gale; In spite of rock and tempest roar. In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on. nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee; ()ur hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our years, Are all with thee—are all with thee!” rAGK r VKNTY-FOUR PAGE TWENTY-FIVE The ( hiss of 11)10 Herbert E.

Hitherto, girls just graduating from the high schools and passing the examination required for teaching, were entered as substitutes in the city schools without any training for the work. It is four years since they have attended the elementary school. 1 he subjects of the ward school are not very fresh in their minds, and they know practically nothing about teaching itself. The Normal course was prepared to overcome these disadvantages. It is modeled on the order of the Training School for Teachers in St. Louis, and is designed only for those who intend to teach in the city, livery student must be a graduate of a high school in Kansas City, or of a recognized school in another city, must be in good health, and not afraid to work. All the elementary subjects are given a review of ten weeks to prepare for the teachers examination. Besides these, a whole term is devoted to Psychology, School Management, History of Education. Methods, American History, and Normal Art. During the last term, many afternoons are spent in the ward schools, where actual teaching in tlit class room, real methods, and ventilation, seating and lighting of the room are observed. It is hoped in time that girls from the class may act as substitutes in the schools, and be given a chance to practice what they are taught. Almost all the review subjects are conducted by regular teachers, while Mr. Wither, who is in charge of the Normal department, teaches the pedagogical subjects. Although boys arc not prohibited from this course, none yet have applied for admission. However, let no one believe that everything in the course is work, and that the class is condescending. over-studious, or so absorbed in the problems of teaching that nothing else is seen. There is as much merriment there as in any other part of the school, and let only the brave dare to call them “Old Maids.” I AGE l'IFTY-MX I'.VJK IMKTV-SEVEN (), You • J uniors liy Umli Kim| ponl «‘r 4 r. 'll Til 1C cold wind was blowing a gale round the great glaciers of the Xorth, and the small pieces of ice were knocking together, and creating as loud a noise as wifev’s first biscuits do when they are laid oil the plate. On one of these cakes of ice, shaking like a bowl of jelly, stood Dr. Cook. Finally, just as a terrible lurch deposited him on his hack, an uncouth figure, covered with fur. approached him. O, sir, please tell me what is the matter with this horrid ice?” screamed the explorer. The stranger, realizing the situation, shouted reassuringly, Oh. don't he frightened. That is only the Juniors, giving their program.” “The Juniors? What juniors?” Why. the only Juniors 1 know of. Those of Central High School. W e know everything that happens there, a year in advance. We read it in the appearance and actions of the ice. Two years ago there came into Central High School a hand of wise children. As they entered the halls, the very pictures turned their heads to look at them, and the trophies in the case danced for glee. Kven the teachers felt the responsibility of teaching children so knowing. They were not given a chance to do much this year, and so they just studied hard to prepare for future vears. In this class 1 discerned many poets, inventors, cartoonists, and South Pole explorers. I he next year these same hoys and girls returned. The doors opened for them of their own accord. Ibis year they began to blossom out. One of them even got on the staff of the school paper, and a great many were called upon to help the literary societies. When the young ladies and gentlemen again returned they started in with a determination to make a name for themselves, and they have succeeded. This year there are three on the staff, and many have contributed magnificent articles to the paper. I his. he said, examining the ice. is the applause over their program, the most sensible one of the year, although it was so deep that many could not appreciate it. I predict that they will he the best educated, tlie best looking, and the most accomplished Seniors that ever graduated from Central. Moreover. he called, as l)r. Cook started away, they can't he deceived.” Turning quickly round, the doctor shook his fist at the’ ice and said. We'll see. Were they? PAO.E FIFTY-MCMT The Fame of I lie Sophomores By 11 (SoMsard. '12 T STOOD before a large building of white stone; before me stretched a flight of broad marble steps. 1 rilled with awe at the beauty of the place. I slowly walked up the stairs and paused with my hand I on the door, while I read in shining letters of gold I he Mali of Fame. I pushed open the door and found myself in a long white corridor. No one was in sight, and a deep silence was over the whole building. 'Flic clatter of my shoes on the marble floor made a sharp echo which came ringing back to me, so I went on tip-toe down the hall, wondering what 1 would find. On each side were tnanv rooms; over the door of one was written ’ Poets, another Artists, another Heroes; they all contained the memories of the greatest people of all times. Suddenly a voice nearby broke the silence. “Whence contest thou? Startled at the sound. I looked about and saw above me a great ball of golden haze, dazzling in its brightness. From Central. I answered. Then, saving no more, the golden ball moved forward, and I followed it. On down the corridor we went together. ’ Enchanted. I kept my eyes on the ball of haze until it stopped before a door over which wa ''Central in flaming letters. As the ball entered, the whole room was filled with golden light from its radiance. It floated about, guiding me here and there. 1 passed many tall silver columns which. 1 learned, were the classes that had passed out of the doors of Central. When I had reached the farther end . f the room, and, as 1 paused to meditate on the greatness of old Central, the golden ball stopped in the most conspicuous place, and while I watched it. it began to spread out. covering the whole side of the room. Then the haze drew back for one short minute, and I saw the faces of my old friends, the Sophomores, the class of 1912. Then the haze covered all again, hut I heard their voices chanting: “Central. Sophomores! 'Rah! Rah! ’Rah!” Tin; other classes were represented by silver columns, and the class of 1912 by a ball of gold, showing that this famous class surpasses all others. It is greater than the other classes just as gold is brighter and more valuable than silver. Who will deny that Central has established a place for herself in the “Hall of Fame? Since the Sophomores have already shown themselves to he the best, the most brilliant class that Central has ever known, and since they give bright promise for the future, is it not right that they should be the most honored? So ’Rah! 'Rah! for the class of 1912! PAGE FIFTY-NINE The Freshmen Hy Hcrlha Wilon. ’l.'{ T1IIC year 1909-10 lias bronchi many surprises, agreeable and otherwise. to Central. Among these was De Kake’s comet. Another illumination, which was equally important and bright, struck the Hi -h School at about the same time. This celestial visitor was known as the Class of' 1913. W e arc sure that this important star in our stellar system will leave a brilliant and fiery trail behind it in the memory • t pupils and teachers, long after the class itself has disappeared from Central’s horizon. hardly know whether to classify the Freshmen under the first or the second division of surprises. v line it was extremely agreeable to our teachers to find these blight stars among their pupils, it was also something of a shock to the solar system of Central. The students of the higher classes were much surprised to tind these brilliant orbs among the new and much ridiculed Freshman Class. They had looked upon themselves tor some time as Central s entire constellation, and now this new class outshone the beams that emanated from them all. However, we do not boast of our greatness when we have no claim to it in reality. W e rather base our statements on a foundation of facts. Howmanvof vou. oh, star-gazers, have looked into the infinite heavens, watching the Hying career of this comet? It you have, you have observed the sparks of achievement we struck to fire in our path. First, there was the Freshman program. This spark came near enough lor yon to note its brilliancy. Then, we came in second in the cross-country relav, dismaying the Juniors and Seniors. I bird, some of the cleverest work in the Sybilline Leaves was executed by the members of this class. I his spark was dashed into thousands of minute particles, that each of you might keep one as ; souvenir of tins never-to-be-forgotten class. We also took part in the Classical Program. Last, but not least, the Freshmen’s standing was unusually high this year. Hive us time! Give us time! The comet has only started on its course, and has not yet attained its highest speed! “And if thou could st know thy own sweetness. Oh. little one. perfect and sweet. Thou would'st be a child forever. Complete whilst incomplete.” The above words exactly embody our sentiments in regard to the class of 1913. Indeed we think our opinion is rather widespread; if not. why have many of the Freshmen of several years ago not vet advanced to the dignity of Sophomores, if they, too, did not hold the same view? By that strange forgetfulness which puzzles medical authorities, and is known by the technical term of amnesia, the upper classmen can not remember their former life as Freshmen, and imagine that they became Sophomores the moment they entered the High School. We hope that we shall not allow our prejudices against Freshmen to overcome us, and in after years, F' cr remember our green felicity.” PACE SIXTY PAGE SIX TV-ONE THK SOCIETY OK UTEKATriU-: AN!)

The boys banded together the first of the year, and pledged themselves to work for the interest of the club at all times. As a result the school has been given a Glee Club to which it can well look with pride.

Thl (uiv won ih Cold Medil in lit conirtl hflil bjr Th Mi«ouii Societr ol Son of The Revolution EDMUND BURKE showed in the discussion ol every problem which came under his scope a determination to slate what he thought regardless of results. Unsupported he came before the fickle members of Parliament to plead for conciliation between England and her Colonics in America. His party, the Whigs, under the leadership of William Pitt had declared for independence.” Burke did all in his power to oppose the attempt of George 111 to make his power absolute and could expect no support from that quarter. The members of Parliament did not even listen to his argument. I hey were blind with fury from the disrespectful position, as they called the stand of the American Colonies in regard to taxation. Did Burke not see that his efforts towards conciliation were in vain? Could he fail to perceive this and possess that keen foresight which, against every sign, predicted the true outcome of the American Revolution? lie did not question his position nor ponder upon the results of the attempt. He saw that a great wrong was being done, a great mistake being made by the British Government and that it was his duty to d« all that he could to prevent it. He presented his side of the question with all the enthusiasm of hope, of success, lie left no rock unturned in trying to change the stand of Parliament. He pleaded and lie warned, but never did he waver or falter in his purpose. Never did lie descend from his commanding position of confidence in the knowledge that he was upholding the right. Burke’s influence on American Independence falls naturally into the discussion of two topics: His influence in England, by which he aided the American cause through his stand in the English Parliament; and his influence in America, wherein his encouragement and ideas greatly helped the Colonists not only in their struggle but also in their future success. Burke's plan for conciliation between America and the mother-country failed completely in its purpose. Nevertheless, the noble attempt made by this great statesman to carry out his ideas, as he saw them, will always be remembered both for its effect upon the American Revolution and upon the political reconstruction of tlic governments of the European nations. When Burke's speeches were printed, as they must have been since the members of Parliament would sleep during the time lie was delivering them and study his I'AC.K NINETY-NINE Burke's Influenced! American Independence Continued plan of argument afterwards “from copies they purchased” the masses of Englishmen had access to this valuable evidence of the question concerning the unjust treatment of the American Colonies. History does not say that people read them, but it is just to presume, from the fact that the condition in the Colonies was only a more advanced stage of the trouble between the Government and all of England’s subjects over the ;.cts of George III. that the question of American Independence would be of grave interest to every Englishman. Taking tor granted that they did get at least the purport of Rurke’s argument, their enthusiasm m the success of the British army must have been very artificial. Burke pointed out that if the King could use force against his subjects in America what was to hinder him from using it against his subjects at home. This brought the question home to the Englishman and placed him in a different position to view the problem. But wherein does the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the English people affect the success of the Colonics? The final victory of the apparent weak over the strong, in the American Revolution, can only be explained by the diversity of spirit between the American and the British armies. The influence of such a powerful satesman as Burke was not to be limited to England alone. Lcckcy says: “Burke tried to show in Parliament that it was to the interest of Spain and I-ranee to draw swords in defense of American Independence.” When the American Revolution had scarcely commenced, men from Spain. France. Germany, Holland and in fact representatives of every nation in Europe were found fighting shoulder to shoulder with the native American. Marquis de Lafayette stands out from the other foreigners who went to the Colonies to aid in the struggle, because of his association with George W ashington. Commander-in-chief of the American troops The valuable assistance rendered the cause of liberty by this Frenchman is only one example of Burke’s influence through foreigners. Were these men influenced to leave their homes and take up the cause of a wholly different race solely through the power and skill of one Edmund Burke? Undoubtedly not. It was not Burke that persuaded these men, but the just cause of the American people presented by him in its true light, which drew this invaluable assistance to America. Burke approached the subject in a way most likely to affect the average European. Nearly all the nations of Europe were at this time ruled by despots who were to a greater or less extent trying to gain absolute control over their respective countries. Burke, in taking sides against the policy of King George and in likening the defeat of the American cause to the defeat of the cause of the individual in the politics of the world, reached the hearts of all. PAGE ONE III.'NUKED Burke’s Influence on Amoricnn Independence Continued 'The direct effect Edmund Burke had upon the ultimate success of the American Colonies might well he looked at from the English point of view. George Onslow said' '‘Why have we failed so miserably in this war against America, if not from the support and countenance given the rebellion in this very house?” At first glance the impression gained from this bold statement would be that the conquered was trying to detract from the success of the victor. This, however, does not concur with the attitude of the Englishman of history and should not he considered without absolute proof. Fiske says: “The Whigs did all in their power to discourage enlistments in the British army and in various ways so thwarted and vexed the government that the success of the Americans was by many people ascribed to them. One of the most forceful end logical parts of Burke’s Conciliation with America is his invective against force. That a certain per cent of the English people acknowledged bis stand on this all important topic is shown by the numerous letters that he received at this time. One. a letter of thanks, was signed bv fifteen of the principal merchants of Birmingham. But this is not conclusive proof that Burke had any very grave influence on the Independence of America. It is not intended as such. It is merely to show that the British people sincerely believed that Burke seriously hindered the movements of the English army and thereby aided the colonies m a most substantial manner. In America, before the Declaration of Independence was signed, a general state of doubt and hesitation prevailed. The Colonies had endured the oppression of the English government for years. It seemed that the time had come for them to take a definite stand in defense of their rights and for a fair and just treatment at the hands of the English Parliament. When the crucial moment came, the bigness and the newness of an open revolt against the mother country overwhelmed them and shook them in their purpose. The American orators and statesmen most vehemently declared for Independence, but they could not overcome ,be sluggish inactivity of the colonists. A strong stimulant was needed. Edmund Burke s speech on conciliation supplied that want. The cold, clear, logical argument Burke presented worked a greater change upon the minds of the Americans than did all the flowery, spirited speeches of the many eloquent orators of the day. Here was a member of Parliament who not only believed the American cause to be a just one but even proved it. The barrier was removed, and the spirit expressed by the words of Patrick Henry: “Dive me Liberty or Give me Death!” was allowed to live and grow until it defeated that hitherto unconquerable giant, England. PACE ONE lie.N� KKD OXP. lUirko’s I nfltuMico on American Independence (’oniimio.l Edmund Burke will ever be remembered as the first statesman to advocate the principle upon which i based the present democratic form of government. When the Revolution was over and America had gained her independence, the question arose as to the government which should be adopted. If the Colonists followed the custom of their ancestors or of any of the European nations they would be forced to submit to the rule of some individual. But could the liberty loving Americans adopt the same form of government Irom which they had so recently separated? Some new plan of governing this new people had to be developed. To the ideas and principles of Burke was directed the gaze of the law-makers of the thirteen original colonies and from their hands came the first democratic form of government. The Cnited States of America was born to a future of greater possibilities than ever lay open to any nation in history. I his was the influence of Edmund Burke, “the most distinguished statesman in an age fertile in extraordinary men. upon the American Independence. In order to know Burke, the man. it would be best to consider him in the light of what he represented, what lie effected, and what he means in the world’s history. Edmund Burke at no time stood for anything except the best interests of the English government. hie i his most salient features was that of breadth. No man saw the true condition which existed between England and America before the Revolution more clearly than did Burke. No man recognized with greater vividness the outcome of the unnatural and trouble-breeding position of King George to his subjects. Burke neither represented the individual of England nor of America but the individual of Great Britain. He was too far in advance of his contemporaries to influence them to take up his. the just cause, or even to gain the attention of the members of Parliament to his arguments. The effect of his speeches upon the people of the world was far different. His ideas sank into their hearts and unconsciously became part of their life, guiding them toward that ideal of all governments—a broad minded democracy. So long as the individual continues to enjoy the blessings of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” that long will Edmund Burke be heralded as one of the greatest of the world’s benefactors. pack o.v� iiiiNimrn two Twenty-fourth Annual Literary Contest Contrul High School Auditorium April 15. lUIO.KiQD I . . l.

Slo .ak, '10 Nor —Thi� oration won the fold me.lal In the School l.lterarr Centm rgc all TIIKRK have been those who have denied to Robert Edward Lee the name of a great man. It is charged against the great Southern commander that he gravely erred when, in the crisis of 186], lie elected to cast his lot. not with the Union, but with his birthplace, his home, his native state. The men who fought the battles of the Union have said little on the matter. They knew the feelings that animated the breasts of those opposed to them, and paid them the tribute of unfeigned respect. The cha of treason was mainly left to those who. having risked nothing on the field of honor, were fain, when danger was passed, to achieve a reputation for patriotism by the fury of their cries for revenge. It is well to remember at the outset that in the first place the action of every man must be considered in relation to the conditions from which that action springs and amid which it had its being. The most iallacious method of studying history is that which excludes contemporary events and undertakes to judge it by the present. From his boyhood, Lee had been reared in the Southern school of states' rights as interpreted by the conservative statesmen of Virginia, llis native state had been held out to him as the highest, most exalted, next to God; and he had been taught by the wisest and purest in the land that to her he owed his first allegiance. One knows little of Virginia who knows not in what passionate esteem the traditions and opinions of the father are cherished by the son. Lee had no illusions repeating slavery. He saw its evils with an eye as clear as Wendell Phillips. lie set forth his views in favor of emancipation in as positive terms as Lincoln ever employed. He opposed secession and deprecated war. And when the great conflict came, the time that tried men’s souls, no soul was more tried than that which had for its home the breast of Robert Edward Lee. I here is something in all of us that responds to military prowess. Military glory is so dazzling that it blinds wholly most men and partly all men. Alexander, conquering the world until he weeps because no mere are left to conquer; Hannibal, crossing the Alps and blowing his trumpets in the verv gates of Rome; Caesar and Napoleon, oversweeping Europe with their glorious eagles, are so splendid that the radiance ot their achievements makes us forget the men they were. An Alexander, carousing at Babylon; Caesar plotting tc overthrow his country s liberties; Napoleon, steeping the world in blood and bickering in his confinement at St. Helena, arc not pleasant to contemplate. There the habiliments of majesty are wanting, the gauds of pomp are stripped off. and we see the men in their true worth. Look at Lee. Had we known him only as the victor of Fredericksburg, of Chancellorsville. we should indeed have thought him a supreme soldier. W ithout Gettysburg, without Appomattox, we should not have dreamed of the sublime greatness of the man. Something of Plato’s calm there was; all of Sydney’s high-mindedness; of Bayard’s fearless and I'Alifc ONE lilMHU.li SIX t Kohrrt Kdwiml Loo Continued blameless life; of the constancy of William the Silent; He was Caesar without his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny. Washington without his reward. Death which withers the roses and flowers of kings and lays in the dust the pride and pomp of ambition. has no power over such a life but to touch it with heaven’s lines and seal it for immortality. If other lives have been sown more thickly or rejoiced more abundantly in the gifts of earthly fortune, no life has been more richly dowered with the love of man or more divinely radiant with the beatitudes of God. At iast. as if he realized that the “house of this earthly tabernacle was to be taken down, he exclaimed. Strike the tent!” And Death obeyed. His spirit with a bound Burst the encumbering clay, 11 is tent at noontide on the ground A darkened ruin lay.” “I rejoice, said a Northern statesman, “that wc possess a model of mankind worth more to our noblest attributes than all the fortunes spent in the tcriblc war which revealed his grandeur to our gaze.” Whatever may have been the errors of the South, errors for which, if they were committed, she has made sufficient atonement in costliest hecatombs, the world is indebted t her for a gift that will enrich mankind forever. That gift is the example of a man who, in civil war. when hate rages to flesh its fangs in hostile hearts, wins the admiration of his enemies; who charms envy into love and awes malice into silence; who. from the smoke and carnage of battle, comes forth with a brow unstained by dishonor, hands unclotted by cruelty; who. although victor in a hundred fights against such odds of troops and treasure as skill never before vanquished, allows no word of boasting to soil iiis pure lips, and acknowledges his success only in modest ascriptions to the Lord of Hosts, who, marching forward in the perilous path of duty, refuses a moment’s pause for dalliance with that fame which others must follow, but which, like one entranced, tracks his steps and courts the condescension of his kingly glance; who, as he kneels under triumphs, rises above reverses; and who, when the last blow is struck and genius can no longer cope with force, surrenders his sword with the same equanimity with which he ha 1 wielded it. only to receive it back in mute testimonial that none but himself is worthy to wear a weapon whose blade blazes with a lustre of purity and prowess bright as the scimitcrs of Eden’s sentinels. Great in victory; greater still in defeat; great as described through the red haze of war: greater still as contemplated through the clear air of peace; great as a general; but greatest as a man. behold in him a character which, if not perfect, conceals its faults with the effulgence of its virtues, even as the sun conceals the spots on its dazzling disk. T need not call his name, nor need History, when she carves from the highest niche in her Pantheon a statue to represent manhood apotheocizcd by its own glory, carve under it a name that the very statue itself cries aloud—the immortal name of Lee! PAOK ONE IIUNUKKIt SEVEN The Influence of a Leader Hy Mary S« nw � ll, T.' Noi Thl fvuv woo ltic cold mcd.il In the School l.iicrarr Conte ) WIil the gloom of the Dark Ages began to rise from Italy and the various racial elements to blend themselves into one people, there came the necessity of forming out of the jargon of dialects a language suitable for national use. This task was accomplished, perhaps unconsciously, by Dante who directed the language through his “Commedia” to the old Tuscan dialect, lie broke away from the old Latin and its corrupted forms; gradually Italy followed. So. one man commanded the speech of a nation, rum to Kngland, Spain or France, and the same thing will be true. Instead of the “Divine Comedy’' there arc “'flic Canterbury Tales,” “The Cid. and the “Chanson Roland,” demonstrating the power of a leader over the people. back of every change of thought, behind every great move of the masses, aiding every advance in civilization is the work of a great commander, the careful cogitation of a leader, the labor of an individual, or the inspiration of a man. Homer had a dream of a great epic poem. The dream was realized in the “Iliad and the following generations spent their time in trying to write epics. A Lesbian peasant wrote lyrical poems, and the Acolians became famous for their wonderfully musical verses. Turning to the drama, two men stand out pre-eminent—Aeschylus and Shakespeare. The one is known to the world as the l ather of fragedy, while the other stands proudly eminent as the greatest writer in Lnglish literature. These men laid the standard and the multitude followed. These men originated a style and the masses imitated. I wenty-two hundred years ago. Demosthenes delivered his orations before the Athenian throngs, and today the schools of oratory study his works as models. Many great speakers have come and imitated, but none have surpassed the matchless eloquence of Demosthenes. Look at science and philosophy and see for thirteen centuries Aristotle swaying the thought of Iuirope. Abelard came with a new theory, only to be overthrown by Darwin who leads the scientific world today. It matters not whether one looks through the divisions of literature, science, or philosophy. PACT ONR HU NORCO RIGHT The Influence of 1 Lomler Continued there are always certain names, certain works, and certain heads which rise to mark and direct the trend of thought and action. Go to Athens and visit the Acropolis; go to Olympia and visit the Heights of Zeus. Once on those places stood the colossal statues of the man who has brought sculpture to the height of perfection. Look at the great Corinthian columns of Callimachus, the bronze gates of (ihiberti. the color of Titian's seas, the frescoes of Michael Angelo, the dogs of Landseer, or the horses of Rosa Bonhcur. When these people have held up their almost perfect figures as models for the future, there is no wonder that the masses dumbly follow; there is no surprise at the efficacious power of a leader. By examining the lives of the great commanders in history and studying the battles they fought, one finds that a leader may govern even the passions of courage and fear, bravery and cowardice. Imagine loan of Arc at the siege of Orleans. Riding among the men. leading in the foremost rank . she lent an enthusiasm to the charge that otherwise would have been lacking. Her dauntless courage made the weakest strong; her fearlessness made the timid bold. Be with Marlborough before Blenheim. Tireless, daring, and perseverant. he won the day against almost insurmountable odds. Nothing less than his matchless ability could have formed of the heterogeneous mass of quarrelsome Dutchmen, sulky Germans, and proud Englishmen, a victorious army. Change the scene again and go with Jcnghiz Khan and his hordes of Mongols and Turanians across the steppes of Asia. By a stern and unyielding power of will, he spurs those relentlessly cruel savages to deeds of violence or, greater still, restrains them in peace and order. Wherever there is movement, mental or physical, wherever there is change, there is always the direction of a leader, no matter what other power may be present. This law holds true in the political realm as well as in war. literature, and science. In the fourteenth century. Machiavelli wrote “The Prince” expressing his ideal government. The two following centuries saw Italian cities in the hands of despots realizing Machiavelli’s ideal rule. Charles Martel granted fiefs to his cavalry and before two hundred years had passed Europe was under the sway of Feudalism. The Latins, though, were always servile. Turn to the freedom loving Anglo-Saxons. Watch Cromwell when he is at the head of England and the Protectorate. Right in the years of blackest chaos, both religious and political, he gave England six years of peace and prosperity. He made his regiment famous. PACK OSH Hl-NI Klt SINK The Influence of n Lender Continuod lie lead his party to victory, and made England a feared power to the continent. Look at our own Congress. Every measure brought before that body is an expression of the thought of some man. Every measure passed by that body is the expression of the influence of some leader. Last, examine the religious thought of the world. The same mighty control of a leader is evident. When Zoroaster returned to civilization after spending six months alone in the desert, he brought to Persia a new creed. This religion with no power back of it would have rapidly died out, but with Zoroaster’s magnetic personality to direct its followers, it became the national belief. Again, look at lirahm, I’uddha. or Mohammed. Imagine their creeds launched upon the world without a leader. India, China, and Arabia, which are peopled with their followers, would not be under those creeds today had the men not headed their cause and spread it among the masses. Picture Christianity without Christ! Take Him and Ill's in-fluence away, and give merely His laws and commands to the multitude. Imagine the five hundred and fifty millions of Christians without a leader! A religion without a champion is lost. A cause without a director is hopeless. The influence of a leader upon the populace can hardly be estimated. Xo matter from what phase, religious, political, literary, or artistic, one may view the question, the leaders have the controlling power. They have made the history of the world; they have made the advances of civilization; they have led and the masses followed; they have dictated and the people have obeyed. Dominating the thought and action, our history has been woven of the lives of the world's greatest leaders.

Brown and Stengel, several of the reserves of that season, and many others of lesser fame, presented themselves last fall to Coach Driver as candidates for this year’s team. With such material our new coach set to work diligently to construct a basket ball machine. After the completion of the interclass series, which served as a sort of elimination contest, lie started practice for the first team tryouts. There being no football or other athletics to interfere, this part of the program was finished earlier than is customary. Before the season opened the men for every position except one, that of right guard, had been definitely selected, and Coach Driver’s chosen few were in tit condition for the task before them. The marvelous showing of the team in its earliest games led us to anticipate another championship. As a bunch of comparatively inexperienced players, they held Westport's veterans to a one-point victory, and subsequently defeated Manual. We began to worry about how we were to provide space in our crowded cup case for another championship trophy. However, sad reverses at the hands of both Manual and Westport soon relieved our anxiety on that score. At length our boys discovered that they had to overcome Westport in their final combat with that enemy in order to tie with Manual for second place in the interscholastic league standing. Let it be recounted to their everlasting glory that they “up and done it.” They finished a season of disappointment right nobly. Several unfortunate circumstances hindered the success of the basket ball team this year. In the first place, until Hamilton improved sufficiently to displace Rcber, we had no center who could be relied upon to outjump his best opponents, an essential to good team work. Nor was Hamilton always dependable. In the second place. Hamilton’s advent and Walker’s inconsiderate failure in his studies compelled changes in the lineup. Of course, these shifts affected the smoothness of the team work, an element noticeably lacking in the last games. Furthermore, the team was what is known as a one man teamthat is, its success depended more or less upon the playing of one individual. Captain Brown. When Brown was right,” the team won; when Brown was otherwise, the team did otherwise. CAPTAIN BROWN. 10 I.eft Forward VAGI' ONI! ItCNUUKO TWKNTY Hcvirw of (In Bnskot Ball SciiHnn Continued Brown's work this year was rather erratic. It was peculiarly erratic in that, when lie was “off,” he was usually “off” in only one of his two specialties, either goal tossing or free throwing. For instance, in the first Westport game, he made nineteen out of twenty-six free throws, hut no goals; in the second game against that team lie made seven goals, hut only ten out of thirty-one free throws. In the last Central-Westport game, which Central won, he made five goals and fifteen out of twenty-three free throws. Stengel played the steadiest game of any of the team members, in spite of the fact that in mid-season he was changed from his customary guard position to one of the forwards. He never played a startlingly brilliant game, nor, on the other hand, did he ever put up a poor exhibition. He could always be depended upon to furnish the same consistent work. Moreover, though considered the roughest man on the team, he committed, on an average, fewer fouls per game than any of his mates. Hamilton was given his first real test in the second Westport game. In this game he repeatedly secured the tipoff from Shepard, adjudged the best local high school center. In later games, however, Hamilton was not so cai� t.-klkot Hamilton, -ii successful in this respect. His goal shooting was good for a new player.

Having lost his job at center, Rcbcr was delegated to fill Stengel's old place at guard. Though at first he seemed inclined to forget the requirements of his new position, his performance in the final Central-West-port game indicated that lie thoroughly understood his present duties. Re-ber ought to make our strongest guard next year. Avery, who gained his position on the team by the excellent showing he made in his first game, continued his good work throughout the season, lie could always be relied upon to stay back by tile opposing team's basket. On only two occasions did lie forget himself so far as to throw a goal. Rut for these two lapses from dutiful habit, be would have had a perfect record for a guard, with no goals to his credit —nothing but fouls and plentv of them. Maiden. Griffith, Adams.

Weights THE beginning of the season of 1910 found Central’s track team bereft of stellar performers. A coach. Driver’s task was to give the I Hue and White supporters a winning 1 cam. He worked out all available material with a view of developing each matt for but one or two events. Through a series of interclass meets and tryouts, both indoor and outdoor, he succeeded in his purpose and got together a well balanced track squad. There is serious weakness in the weight department, however. Up to the present writing but one of the scheduled meets has been “pulled off.” the dual indoor meet with the Y. M. C. A., in which Central's men ran away from the strong Association athletes by the score « f 66 to 38. Captain Reber, 12. is our main dependence in the high hurdles. Last season lie ran close on the heels of Hendrickson and Woodbury, and this year is running in better form. “Swede” likewise handles the shot fairly well and is a member of the mile relay team. Avery. '10, is also Central’s representative in the high hurdles. Hamilton. '11. does well in the low hurdles. The Blue and White has a point winner in ’ Kennie. lie took first place easily in all the intcr- davis 10 I’ulc Vuult RACE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY Review of the Truck Se;i moffkt, io Half Mile PACE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE IHOU ContiiiiMMl class meets in ibis event. As a reliance in the dashes we have Todd, 12. This “soph” raises a good deal of dust in the century and 220-yard dashes Todd always placed in the Convention Hall meets early this spring. Past performances argue that Norton, '12. will break the cotton first in the quarter-mile dash. The “runt runs well, as is shown bv his good work on the relay team. The dopesters always count on points from Norton. In the Morse brothers, 12 and 13, Central is the possessor of two of the best high school middle distance men in the country. Ralph performs a shade better iu the half-mile run, while Rupert excels his loving brother in the mile jaunt. Moffet. 10. the big senior, erstwhile basket ball cheer leader, runs the half in good time. Central’s star in the jump events is Slaughter. 13. Slaughter should place in the high leap as easily as in the broad jump, in which he clears the ground close to 20 feet indoors. The pole vault is represented by Davis. ’10. So far the relay team has been undefeated. Itaum. 10; Shepard, 10; Hamilton, ’ll; Rc-ber, ’12. and Norton, ’12. compose the successful squad. avxrt.
