(Erautfnrit 3lantrs It has not been the policy of the Centralhn to divert from the events that are immediately connected with the course of student life at Central. Although the name of Mr. Crawford James was never actively associated with the student body in any other than his official capacity as President of the Board of Education, we feel that some note should be taken of the services he faith fully rendered the public of Kansas City for twenty-seven years. Mr. James not only helped to lay a solid foundation for the school system of the city, but through his kindly disposition and never-failing courtesy, he endeared himself to all who came in contact with him. We feel that it is no small matter for a business man like him to give his time and energy to a work that affords no financial return, little glory, and often much condemnation. By dedicating this page to Mr. James we hoj e in some way to express our appreciation of his whole-souled services and to thank him in behalf of the teachers and students of Kansas City for each thing, great or small, that he has done for them: remembered or forgotten, it still lives in its effects.

There were only four old fellows back from last year’s club ’round which as a nucleus the organization must be rebuilt. I lowever, when candidates were called for and eighty-four fellows answered the call to try out for places on the club, part of the fear was dispelled, and, when the successful eighteen were chosen, it was entirely gone. Never before had the interest taken in the Glee Club been so widespread, and never before had the voices been of such high quality. The plan for the concerts followed that of last year. After a successful season in Kansas City, in which they more than upheld the high mark of excellence set in previous the boys who composed the club of 1911-12 started on their annual trip to the cities nearby on April 4. The trip was highly successful, financially as well as musically. If we are to believe the newspapers of the towns through which they passed, the annual visit of Central’s musical organizations is one of the great events of the year for Harrisonville, Paola. et cetera. This year the first town visited was Pleasant Hill; from there the club went to Harrisonville, from Harrisonville to Paola, and thence home. The program given by the club was most excellent in quality, and its success was aided greatly by its variety. The songs as a whole were gems of melody,” because all the voices of the eighteen members harmonized perfectly. The declamation by Mr. O’Brien, and the instrumental numbers by Dietrich, were invariably well received, as were the solos given bv G. Campbell and Pinkerton. The quartette, consisting of Dietrich, Hurst, Campbell and Pinkerton, sang as only a quartette can. Probably the numbers best enjoyed were the Variations” of Hurst and Tcrte, in which we heard all the latest songs and were treated to a vaudeville show of high quality, and the octette, composed of Griffith, Terte, G. Campbell, Martin. Norton, Cline, Hurst and Tesson. I The usual things which make life bearable, together with many new events, combined to make their trip the most enjoyable for the members so far. Ask some of them about what their suitcases were fdled with when they Page Seventy-two Review of the Glee Club Season—Concluded left Pleasant Hill, but first see that you have a clear path ahead of you. The country cousins abounded, and if we arc to judge from the rc|x rts of several of the fellows, they were the pcachiest ever. There are many organizations which aid in the development of school patriotism, and the dee Club i one of these. The most inspiring number in every concert was the singing of C entral s own song. Central. I he audience never failed to rise to its feet out of respect to Old Central when this number was given. 'Phe club’s success was due in no small measure, financially, to the able management of Sam llurst and Mr. Kirker. and musically to the training of Mr. Farrell.

Woolton Time—Present Page Eighth-three iRrutrut uf thr Christmas $11 ay HK annual Christmas play of 1911-12 is now but a treasured memory. On the night of the twenty-first clay of December, l U. Central students presented the comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, under the management of Mr. Lewis, Miss Perkins and Mr. Dillenbcck. file plot of the comedy centers round the adventures of a young Englishman, John Worthing by name, who, living with a lovely young ward in the country, veils his occasional visits to the city by assuming the role of a brother. Earnest, who does not exist. Then there is Algernon Moncrief. who “bunburics” into the country in order to alleviate the sickness of a very dear friend, Bunbury, who also exists only in the imagination. The complications arise over the name “Earnest.” and we see Worthing's ward, Cecily Cardew, and his fiance, Gwendoline Fairfax, enmeshed in the “snare of circumstances,” but finally the tangled threads are unraveled in a way humorous and at the same time very natural and satisfactory. Samuel J. Hurst played the part of John Worthing, and without the Rci� cr aid of make-up of any kind succeeded in losing himself entirely in his part. We forgot that we were looking at our own Sam III, and saw before us a young English squire who coul l play the tearful hypocrite over the death of his fictitious brother, and the lover of Gwendoline equally well. I.e Verne Watkins took the other leading male part and gave a fine version of the ever-eating, adventure-loving Algernon Moncrief. His mustache and his manner were exceedingly foxy, well suited for the part he played. The caste was very fortunate in the ch ice of the feminine roles. Beatrice Will-son t(K)k exceedingly well the part of Gwendoline Fairfax, the daughter who was such a trial to her mother and who just couldn’t help loving the name of Ernest. Beatrice’s fine voice and commanding appearance rendered her acting a capable and finished performance. Her love scenes with Worthing were especially commendable in that they were evidently entirely natural. WIlMun-llurat Page Eighty-four Review of the Christmas Play—Continued Begun Page Eighty-fare Lavinia Peters, our “sweet and girlish Lavinia, played Cecily Cardew to | er-fection. Her part—that of an unsophisticated, romantic young girl—suited her exactly. The scenes between these two heroines, entirely different in temperament as they were, were delicious and were made doubly so by the acting of Beatrice and Lavinia. These were the heroic parts. The character parts were no less well taken care of. Lottie Martin as Lady Brackneil. Hurley Begun as the christening Dr. Chasuble, and James Cotter as Miss Prism, gave performances that defy criticism. In these three, the latter two having l� een on two successive Christmas plays. Central has found three actors of no mean ability. The necessary appendixes of the play, the two servants. Merriman the butler and F ane. Moncrief's manservant were well taken care of by Clarence Rebcr and Ira Lesser, respectively. The play was very well attended by an appreciative audience that freely applauded its strong features and graciously overlooked the few discrepancies that crept in. In fact, so successfully was the rendition of the play accepted that Mr. Painter requested the caste to give it before the night school, which was done a week later. Here it achieved a similar success. The caste was a very congenial one. and its members worked together without the least of friction, especially in certain sentimental scenes. However, that was natural, as was the appearance of John Rebcr at all the rehearsals, lie probably came to keep “Bean” out of mischief. I.e� cr Martin Much credit should be extended to Mr. Dillenbeck, Mr. Lewis and Miss Perkins for developing out of raw material the finished product that represented the best talent of the student body of 1911.

The interest taken in the preliminaries which were to decide who was to represent Central in the debates was even more intense than last year, and justifies the conclusion that the debating work is being placed in its rightful position among the most important activities of the school. After the weeding-out process had been finished, it was finally decided that the two teams which were to pass on the whyness or whynotness of the question should be composed of the following: Negative, Freeman Havighurst, first speaker and rebuttal; Reed McKinley and Arthur lioand. with Neil Cline as alternate. Affirmative. Walter Brown, first speaker and rebuttal; Byron Wingcrt and Hurley Begun, with Maurice Weinberger as alternate. The affirmative invaded the realms of the Yesti orters to show the dire need of the recall, which, we are glad to say. they did to the entire satisfaction of all concerned, save possibly three arguers from our sister school. The negative, staying at home, to meet the avenging Manualites. suffered defeat by the margin of two to one. When the results of the two debating seasons, 1910-11 and 1911-12, are reviewed, it will be seen that Central as usual is on the top of the list, taken from any angle you please. For instance, although Central and Manual have broken even. Manual has lost to West| ort once, while Central has overcome Westport twice. Again, out of the four debates, Central has won three, Manual is next with two won and two lost, and |x or old Westport has won only one delate out of four. From these statistics, it can justly be said that Central has set an enviable record in a practically new line of work. The question is asked, what lx-nefits are gained from these debates? Ask one of our six orators (?) this question publicly, and he will tell you it lies in the broader view on life forced upon him by the habit formed of studying both sides of any question, and the greater grasp on public questions that he receives; but if you are a particular friend of his, not prone to gossip, and take him to a private corner, his discourse, a hundred to one, will l e not on the recall but about the surpassing qualityof that affirmative turkey at Mr. Dillenbcck’s feed, or, of how one of our future councilmen at Miss Fox’s dinner put two lumps of sugar in his consomme (accent on the last syllable, if you please), mistaking (?) it for coffee.

He who has discovered within himself the soul of pure aspiration has found that which makes life rich. Labor cannot tire nor reverses discourage. Though enemies may slander him and the world may cast a look of scorn upon him, he remains steadfast to his purpose, lie sets his eye upon a star. Many times does he stumble and fall himself, but his star never falls. For him there is no defeat but has its victory. His tender thread of life at last is severed, but the influence of his nobility, like Tennyson’s Brook, goes on forever. Yes, a master of human destinies is the soul of aspiration. The awakening of man’s nobler impulses is like the birth of a new day. A pale gleam of light in the Eastern sky heralds the approaching dawn. I he lone gleam grows into many, the many into a multitude until the last traces of darkness are routed and the day bursts into bloom with a wondrous beauty that defies the artist’s brush. Thus does the awakening of aspiration defy description. If one could picture the yearnings of the human heart, if one could measure the depths of passion and emotion, if one could see the victories won over self the task would be an easy one. By day, by night, through sunshine and sorrow, tlu aspiring soul is ever striving through the impenetrable gloom to fix what llallam has called “That master light, the secret truth of things, which is the body of the infinite God. We only know that the beginning of aspiration in a man’s life is the dawn of a new hope, an eternal ambition to look up and not down, to go forward and not back. The lowest aspirations are those which have nought in their purpose but conquest and self glory. For a crown men will torture their souls, but for truth, for justice some will not pay the price of a single struggle. Before one aspires to lead others, he should first master himself. The mightiest of all kingdoms is a man’s own mind, the greatest power to rule himself, and the highest fame is a spotless shield and a pure heart. What is that idol, fame, which all men worship? To all who have really achieved it is but an eternal shadow of excellence. The noblest aspiration is to render high, true and pure service. As star to star radiates light, so does soul to soul reveal a finer element of its own. Page Ninel])-four The Soul of Aspiration—Concluded There arc hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content; There are souls like stars that live apart In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their path Where highways never ran; But let me live by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Life is so little and yet it may Ik so wonderful. The tiny seed wafted here and there by soft breezes finds a home in old mother earth and rises to a soul in grass or in flowers. In every human heart there is a spark of aspiration, call it what you will. If that spark dies out in infancy, life is but an empty boat tossed upon a troubled sea. Once nourished into flame, it becomes an irresistible force that shapes the destinies of men and nations. Courage and a lofty ambition transformed Savanarolla from a crude uninteresting speaker into an orator that struck fear to the hearts of his enemies. From a rude log cabin Abraham Lincoln arose in the brief period of a few years to the leadership of the American people in one of the greatest crises of history. Aspiration made Cromwell a reformer and Milton a poet. It gave Ireland a Daniel O’Connell and the negro a Touissant L’Ouve-ture. Unlimited is the power of aspiration. All things conspire to lead men on. The little raindrop continually dripping—dripping—bores its way through the heart of the mightiest rock. The outlines of the continents arc changed by the ceaseless l cating of the tides. Such is the story of progress. Nature, life everywhere, is changing every hour. Man only is shiftless, content to exist from day to day. Having caught but a glimpse of the heights above, he turns back to the plains below. Yet man is |x ssessed of a soul which, if it but be aroused, can bring heaven itself to earth, can erase the Alps, and annihilate space and time. O, to become a part of th’c great machine of life, not merely the grime and dust which retard its movements, but a vital, whirling, living part that helps to weave the wonderful fabric of human life. To feel the thrill of action, to hear the roaring of mighty forces, to rise and fall with the bellowing breakers, to lie in submission at the foot of the whispering pines, with the sparkling diadem of heaven overhead.—that is to live. “Build thee more stately mansions, O, my soul! As the swift seasons’roll. Leave the low-vaulted past; Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou, at length, art free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea.1 Page Xindy-fix t Shf Halur nf Jhttrrrst By Louis Guion, ’13 NOTE—This essay won the Gold Medal in the School literary Contest. X XTEREST is one of the fundamental features of life. It precedes and aids both mental and physical growth. I The babe first becomes interested in himself, his fingers and toes in particular. “He shows the first sign of intelligence.” says a prominent educator, “when he takes an interest in his surroundings.” As interest increases with physical development, there comes from his childish lips the eternal question, “Why?” Prompted by that invisible spur, interest, he investigates those subjects which have been called to his attention. Passing into the formative period of his life, these researches lead him to decide upon a career of further inquiry into those questions of life which have been most absorbing. His advancement toward perfection in his calluig depends upon his interest in the object of his investigation. So has it been with the human race. The primitive man was first interested in himself, and then in his environment. As the actions of his neighbors became more and more interesting, he longed to examine the conditions outside of his immediate community; and curiosity drove him farther and farther from his native land in bis career of investigation. The Roman was first interested in Rome, then in the surrounding towns, and that interest finally led to the examination and conquest of the whole Mediterranean basin. The Teuton, interested in what was going on to the south of that great barrier which separates Italy from the rest of Europe, overran Italy and a great part of the Roman Empire, and at the time when progress had ceased, came upon the scene with his newly awakened interest. After the desire for discovery had been satisfied, he settled down and began to look deeper into the nature of things that were going on about him. Then came the “Why?” in the form of the Renaissance, then investigation, and consequently progress as he became further interested in life. Man’s desire for power led him to perfect a system of nionarchial rule, first as leader, then as king, and finally as emperor. At the same time that the interest of the ruling class was perfecting this system, the serf was aroused to his condition. Then as his interest in his state increased, came the “Why?” then the investigation, and, lastly, the throwing off of the yoke. As his interest in the governments grew with his contact with them, he conceived a desire to rule as a people, and for the welfare of the people. With this interest progress in mass rule has advanced until we have at the present time a rapidly spreading republicanism. A great man may lead the world with a great idea; but, if he had not, in the beginning, become interested in that subject to which he devoted his genius, the world would have probably been without his example. Socra- Page Ninety-six The Value of Interest—Concluded tes, Plato and Aristotle became interested in their fellow men, and formulated a creed which has only been surpassed by the teachings of the Christ. Demosthenes, first excited by the favors bestowed upon Callistratus, became the greatest of orators. Alexander, sitting in the councils of his father at the age of fifteen, became absorbed in the affairs of state—an interest which finally led him to conquer the known world. Behind every great reform lies a great idea; behind every great idea a great man; and behind the great man an absorbing interest in his idea. Luther, running by chance upon a copy of the •’Vulgate” in the University Library of Krfurt, was prompted to investigate, lie conceived a great idea, and his devotion to that idea influenced him to lead the world in breaking away from its former religious practices. Although over forty years of age before he became interested in religion, yet so deeply stirred was his interest that before his death Mohammed had overthrown the religion of his native land and paved the way for the conquering of a great part of the world. I ooking into the realms of science one may see Galileo, the first of modern physicists and astronomers, before he examined the heavens, interested in the optical discoveries of a certain German, and inquiring into the truth of Aristotle's positions before he discovered the law of falling bodies; and Newton making windmills and sundials while others were studying Virgil and 1 lorace. and interested in the falling of an apple before he discovered the law that rules the universe. One may see Morse, whose telegraph has revolutionized the world, interested in electricity at the age of fourteen; and Darwin collecting plants, shells, bugs and butterflies in his early childhood, a fitting beginning for a great naturalist. Again, had not the primitive man become interested in trying to picture his surroundings, the world would have been without a Lenardo da inci or a Raphael, and the Sistine Chapel at Rome without the majestic frescoes of Michael Angelo. As interest grows, the onward march of civilization advances. Man first becomes interested. Interest leads to investigation, investigation to the formulation of an idea or a movement, and the spirit put into the project to its ultimate success. In truth, interest plays such an important part in life that the world has come to judge a man by the interest he displays. Men base their lives on an interest in some movement, and are successful to the degree t« which they are interested. A life without an interest would be unbearable. Indeed, it would be impossible, for the very fact that man is interested enough to provide the sustenance of life is an undeniable proof. It is hard to imagine a world without progress, progress without great ideas, great ideas without great men, and great men without great interest. In short, the value of interest can hardly be overestimated. It lies at the bottom and behind all growth and progress. It is a foundation for success, a basic condition in that it is necessary to the successful end or issue of any project. An attribute of good workmanship, a quality of the hero, and ati essential characteristic of the leader, it goes on. preceding, aiding and accomplishing momentous results. Page Ninety-seven ahr ffiltas nf .Sgnnranrr By Myrtle Wright, ’12 Note—This story won the Gold Medal in the School Literary Contest Till , morning train brought the deputy sheriff to the little town of Galesburg. He stood on the platform and watched the train glide down the glittering track and disappear around the curve. Then he walked into the station house and sat down. I he day was growing unbearably hot. The heat went up from the damp unpaved streets in quivering heets. 1 he station house was deathly still and smelled of pine and the eating house. I he deputy looked around for the station agent but he was not in sight. He began to think alnmt his errand. He must find out where the Dillons lived. When a child he had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Dillon, and had done the chores al out the farm until their two boys had grown large enough to do them. In those years he had lived in childish terror of the tall thin-lipped Mr. Dillon, but he had learned to love the little patient eyed woman as a mother. More than fifteen years ago, the Dillons had moved to Missouri. A short time afterwards Lewis, the younger son, had written to him that his mother had suffered a paralytic stroke, and it had left her totally blind. Then Mrs. Dillon wrote to him. At first the words were so huddled together, and the lines so crooked that the letters were scarcely readable. Gradually the words stopped huddling and the lines straightened until only the wide spacings told of her affliction. One day the letter came with a black border. She told him of her husband's death, of the marriage of her older son, Albert, and last she told him Lewis wanted to come back to Kentucky. The rest of the letter was a bantering account of how he must look after Lewis. The deputy read l etween the bantering lines, and knew that her son really needed to be looked after. Lewis came and soon showed his mother’s friend that he would not be looked after. He started out as a mail clerk, but soon lost his position because of his drinking. Then, after cautioning the deputy to keep the news from his mother, he became manager of a pool and billiard hall. Soon he was accomplished in gambling. Quarrels resulted because of his winnings, and three days ago the deputy had helped carry him out of the hall with a great deep gash across his left temple. Page Ninety-eight The Bliss of Ignorance—Continued The next morning the sheriff stood by his bed. He would plead brokenly for his mother, but when the deputy attempted to leave the room, he would cry wildly for him not to tell her. Late that night the pleadings ceased, and the deputy folded the boy's arms over his quiet breast. The body must be taken home and his mother must be told. The deputy had at last decided to take the morning train to Galesburg, and he had left orders for the body to be placed on the evening train. By this arrangement he would be in Galesburg six hours before the lx dy would come. This would give him ample time to tell the boy’s mother. The deputy drew his listless gaze from the door, and saw that the station agent had entered the place, unheard by him. and was looking at him curiously. The sheriff asked him where the Dillons lived. The agent gave him the directions, and to gain time, the deputy decided to walk the two miles to their home. The house sat far back among the trees, and was almost hidden by a wilderness of rose bushes and great orange-colored tiger lilies. A tall young woman with a wide braid of black hair answered the deputy’s knock. A little girl with gray eyes, and brown feet stained with blackberries, was holding to the woman’s dress. The sheriff knew she must be Alfred’s wife. “I came to see grandmother Dillon,’’ he said in answer to the woman’s inquiring look. Grandmother can’t see any one today, she replied. ‘‘Is there something I could tell her for you? Is she sick,” asked the deputy. “She has just recovered from another stroke of paralysis, and we think she had better be as quiet as possible. I bring her news of Lewis.” Oh! well then you may see her; it will make her better to hear from him. Elsie,” she said turning to the child, take the gentleman to your grandmother's room. The little girl led him through the long hall into a tiny room with fresh Swiss curtains. Some one wants to sec you, grandmother.” Elsie called and closed the door after the deputy. A little thin bent woman turned in her chair and looked toward the door. For a minute the deputy for- Page Ninety'nine The Bliss of Ignorance—Continued got that the grey eyes were sightless, and he shrank back with a thumping heart because he knew she would see it in his face. Who is it?” she asked in a low voice. It is I, grandmother, Joe.” The big deputy was kneeling by her chair, and she was rubbing his shoulders with her crooked fingers and kissing his hair. ‘‘Find you a chair, she said, “and bring it close to mine. Did you come from home to see me?” Yes, 1 have come from home.” Then you have seen my boy?” she questioned, eagerly. “Yes, I have seen Lewis.” Tell me about him. Have you taken good care of my baby?” The white bandaged face and the folded hands floated before his hot eyes, and the thumping went from his heart to his head; but lie only patted her hand and told her how glad he was to see her. I knew I could trust my boy with you,” she smiled. I was afraid for Lewis, Joe. I didn’t want him to go away from me. I couldn t realize that he had grown up. 1 thought he still needed me. Lewis is a clean boy. She thought she stated it, but she really asked the question, rite blind eyes were looking at him eagerly, and the mouth was quivering excitedly. I he deputy did not reply. She took his silence for yes, and drawing her breath tremulously she sank back into her chair, repeating with a smile, Yes, Lewis is a clean boy.” Oh, Joe, you don’t know the heart of a mother.” she continued. ‘‘You know when he first went away I could not sleep at nights. I would lie awake and listen to his dog bark; and sometimes I thought I heard him coming back; but it was only the wind. Then in the long winter nights when the wind would wail round the house, I would imagine Lewis wanted me, and I would have to wrap the pillow round my head to shut out the wailing.” She was l cnding forward in her chair now, and her face was drawn as in physical pain. Soon the face softened, and she was speaking again in a low voice. It seems only yesterday since my two boys were little fellows riding on my big trunk for a horse. Now 1 have held Alfred’s child in my arms, and I hope J shall live to see Lewis with a wife and children.” Page One HunJreJ The Bliss of Ignorance—Continued The deputy was sitting with his hands gripping the sides of his chair. He was thinking hurriedly that he might spend this day with her. and come hack and tell her when the evening train came in. “How does our old home look?” she questioned further. “Does my rose bush beneath the kitchen window still bloom, and do the martins still come to the old box in the spring? I have not seen a thing for nearly ten years, but I should know if I were there. I should know the smell of the oak trees, and the feel of the air.” “Your rose bush still blooms, and the martins still come to the old box,” the deputy answered in a strained voice. He was thinking of an excuse to leave her. She was speaking again. “You must tell Lewis that he must visit his grandmother's and father’s graves; and when lie looks on the sod that covers them, to just think of the ones so dear to my heart.” She was leaning over in her chair again, holding the deputy’s hand. I am an old woman now, Joe. I am at the top of the hill ready to start down on the other side; but it is blessed when you get nearer to God.” The deputy rose hastily, holding the crooked hands in his. “I must leave you now, grandmother, he said. “I have some business to attend to in town. I shall come back to see you this evening. ‘‘Xow, don’t be late. Joe, I shall sit up and wait for you. I want you to tell me more about Lewis. I shall come early, answered the deputy, closing the door, softly. He hastened through the hall out into the dusty road without once looking back. “I couldn’t tell her. I couldn't.’ lie was relating hurriedly to himself. His throat was dry and he kept swallowing to keep his mouth from drawing down at the corners. At last he again came to the station house and sat down to wait for the evening train. Back at the little farm house the trees were beginning to cast long shadows across the road, and the bowls of the tiger lilies were being filled with dew. In the kitchen young Mrs. Dillon was laying the spotless cloth for supper. “Elsie,” she called, run and ask your grandmother if she would like to have her supper now.” Page One Hundred One The Bliss of Ignorance—Concluded Elsie laid aside her doll and went to her grandmother's room. Soon the child came rushing into the kitchen with frightened eyes and quivering lips. “Mamma.” she cried, catching her mother's dress, “I can’t wake grandmother. She’s asleep.” The mother took Elsie’s trembling hand and together they went into the little room. She was sitting with her crooked hands folded in her lap. Her head was resting on the back of the chair, and her white hair had fallen over her face. Mrs. Dillon pushed back the soft hair, and although the blind eyes were closed, she knew they had oj ened to the light in the other world. The evening train came late that day. That night a farm wagon, with a long pine box in the l ack. lumbered slowly out to the silent farm house. Next day two coffins stood side by side at two open graves, under the big elm tree in the church yard. 1 he minister said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and the coffins were lowered. In the evening when the stars were beginning to twinkle through the elm leaves, the deputy sheriff stood at the head of the newly made graves, and raising his eyes to the stars, he murmured fervently, “O God, Thou art good. Thou art good.” Pate One Hundred Two Shr iHnar nf dlaij (Lenora K. Showalter, ’14) Note—This poem tied for the Gold Medal in the School Literary Contest Alone in the garden of by-gone years.

During the season only two games were dropped, one by two points A and the other by one. As usual, the five was picked from the material develoj ed in the interclass games. To l egiii with, two memliers of last year’s team were on hand— C aptain Cheek, guard, and John Reber, who has played all the positions. The loss of Captain Cheek after the first game greatly handicapped the team. Cheek would have made one of the best guards in the Valley had not Dame Fortune frowned upon his eligibility. The race for the city championship was, as per custom, highly interesting. As Manual failed to break into the “win” column, the pennant race narrowed down, to a contest, between Central and Westport. The lack of a good gym probably had much to do with the poor showing of the Crimson. In the first league game Westport succeeded in winning over the defenders of the Blue and White by two points—29 to 27. On our second meeting we trounced them properly to the tune of of 20-24. The clear sufwriority of the Central team is shown by the fact that it led by a safe margin throughout the game, while in the former contest it was a matter of guess until the gun popped. As far as official standing is concerned, Vest]x rt is tied with Central for first honors, but the result of the last game, the comparison of the scores rolled up on Manual, and the victory by Central over Westport in the exhibition game prior to the opening of the official season, tell which team should be ranked first. Manual was l eaten twice, 48 to 31, 43 to 18. The Central five went to Omaha. Nebraska. March 29 and .30, to participate in the Western championship series. Although Omaha won from the team on the 29th, it took three extra five-minute periods to turn the score 35-34 in their favor. On March .30, fully rested from the long trip, the Central five trounced the strong Ottumwa, Iowa, aggregation 41 to 28. after which Ottumwa beat Omaha to a frazzle. The Omaha Mcnze Page One Hundred Ten Review of the Basket Ball Season—Continued papers lavished praise upon the lx ys from Kansas City: “At no time in the contest was the Central aggregation in danger of defeat, and their brilliant playing and team work netted them a lead of 17 points at the end of the first half. Coach Toil ton’s pupils had the necessary gamencss and dash of play which seemed to overcome the attempts of the lowans to locate the basket. The whole quintet had a style of play that proved superior in every way. Their passing was accurate and swift, their basket shots steady and well timed, and their guarding most cleverly pulled off. They had team work down to perfection and passed the slippery sphere all ’round the big lowans at all stages of the game.’' The playing of Menze, captain-elect for next year, has been the feature of the Interscholastic season. Not only did he lead the league in the number of field goals, but he also set a record in free-throwing which will be hard to beat. Out of a total of 198 fouls made by the opposition, “Boob” tossed in 150 free throws, giving him an average of .70. The nearest Jackson contender to Menze in the scoring line was Jackson, who, although stationed at the guard position, fell only two short of scoring as many goals from the field as “Boob.” His record of 41 goals will probably stand a long time, for it is seldom that a guard approaches anywhere near such a num- ber. Jackson’s forward scored only 22 goals during the season. At center Rcber more than held his own, both on the jumping and on the scoring end. “Bonny” ranks third in the number of goals, with 25 to his credit. Incidentally he is also first in the number of fouls committed. Dancy’s team work was his most valuable contribution to the team. In every play he was constantly working the ball down the court with his partner, “Boob.” Time and again these two took the ball away from their heavier opponents. Keith has the respectable record of 21 field goals appended to his name. The playing of Dancy Page One Hundred Eleven Review of the Basket Ball Season—Concluded Campbell at guard was a pleasant surprise after the loss of Captain Cheek. Graham developed a way of sticking to his man that was most troublesome to the offense of our opponents. O’Brien, Griffith and Fifield, as first aid to the weary, rendered a valiant service. For next year’s team we have ‘‘Stew” Campbell, a lofty center; Monger, a flashy forward; Farrell, a promising heavyweight, and Bryson, a coming youngster. There are several others, hut best of all, fleet little Boob” will Ik on the job again when another season rolls ’round. During the season Central has piled up a total of 425 |M)ints (average 42.5 per game) to the opponents’ 296 (average 29.6 per game). Menze. Jackson and Reber placed on the “All-Star” Interscholastic Team and Menze and Reber on the All-Star Western.” To Coach Touton, who heartlessly ran them through the paces, goes the honor of developing the Missouri Valley champions of ’12.

Invitation; won by Central................................May 18 firutnu nf thr arark raiunt NLY one meet, the K. U. invitation track meet, separates Central from an ever-victorious track-season. By the narrow margin of 2 1-5 points Central again carried off the Missouri V alley Interscholastic meet. Westport coming a close second and West Des Moines third. In the M. U.-K. y. and the K. C . A. C. invitation meets at Convention Hall Central was returned an easy victor over Westport in three invitation events: 50-yard dash, one-mile relay, and 80-pound relay. In the meet | with I-awrence High School held at I awrence. Kan.. Central defeated the champion team of the State of Kansas 71 to 60. Westport upset the dope by showing unlooked for strength in the triangular meet at Gordon-Koppel field, but Central was returned the winner by nine points. Manual also ran. Now, Central has swept the M. U. I. A. A. honors for the second successive year, and dope points to a victory at K. l, The one responsible more than anyone else for Central's success in track for the last two years is John A. Reber. “Ronnie,” to whom, in the words of the Kansas City Star, hurdles, weights and jumps all look alike. In three meets this versatile athlete has scored 72 points, almost half of the total scored by the team. Reber is good for points—usually firsts—in every event he enters. In the M. I . 1. A. A. he reaped a harvest of four gold and one silver medal and the individual honors of the ■ si i meet. Next to Reber in the scoring of |x ints has l een Slaughter, with a total of 26 to his credit in three meets. Slaughter did not | erforni up to expectations in the Missouri Valley, only scoring two fourths. His specialties are the dashes and broad jumps. Renick and Lewis are usually to be counted Slaughter Renick Page One Hundred Twenty Review of the Track Season—Continued on in the low and high hurdles, respectively, although their inexperience has been a great handicap. They also perform very creditably in the high jumps, as does Richard Walker. .Morse is not running the same race this year as last, but it's an exceedingly fast held that finishes before him. Rider is the only miler this year, with the exception of Morse, who has won a point, lie is new at the game and by next year should be a consistent point winner. Hurst and I.igget are doing the pole vault, and it generally takes a good man to l cat either one. Jackson, the husky basket ball guard, runs a fine race in the quarter, although he lacks finishing power on the last stretch. Central’s greatest weakness is in the quarter, owing to the ineligibility of Norton. The relay team, although twice successful! over Westport, was completely distanced by the fast Lawrence aggregation. Morse, Slaughter and Reber were appointed field captains in the events in which they are strong, when Norton was dropped out of the going. At the different track meets in Kansas City this year, the Central rooters greatly outnumbered the support rsof the rival schools. Although that sounds encouraging, in reality it means very little, for the attendance of the Kansas City schools was very poor. Track finances are at a low ebb and if the student body does not support a winning team better than it has, we may look for track to follow in the steps of baseball. The chances for a winning team next year are favorable. “Bonnie”, “Bean” and Morse will all be graduated this spring. However, the other Kansas City schools will suffer as greatly as Central. Slaughter and Retiick, together with the other point winners, will form the nucleus upon which the team must be built. I.itnret.

Not only did Central outclass her Kansas City rivals, but she won the championship of the Missouri Valley at Lincoln. Nebraska, with the utmost ease. Central walked away from Westport in a dual meet, took the K. U. Invitation Meet at Lawrence without trouble, captured the Quadrangular at Gordon and Koppcl Field, and wound up an cvcr-victorious season by taking the M. V. I. A. A. championship. Hamilton lowered the M. V. record in the high hurdles, McIntyre broke the Central high jump record, and Reber established new Central marks in the Discus and Shot.

Victory is “a way we have at Central. Bonnie Reber is the individual star of the year. Helen Gossard wins both city and state essay prizes of the W. C. T. U.; another of the “more deadly sex, Emily Miles, wins the scholarship offered by the Kansas City School of Law. Nathan Rosen burg breaks the monotony by reaping in the D. A.

The Ckntrai.ian 1911 passes into history and the business managers plod fiercely up ami down the streets collecting the forthcoming lucre, which takes up their summer vacation. The Shakespeare's Falcon” soars from the printshop and the Webster’s “Review,” issued to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Webster Club, relates past deeds of prowess. May is gone. Nothing troubles the month of June, except the heat, until the ninth, and the class of ’ll takes a last lingering glance at where their “mugs” ought to lie on the wall, clasp their hard-won diplomas, and depart this coil of life, so far as we are concerned. Vale! May they rest in peace. Their strenuous days are past. £ rptrnther On September 5, the old clock in the office sees us back once more, and the asbestos rises on a new scene. Mr. I. 1. Cammack has departed to become one of our superintendents, and Mr. Bainter is chosen to fill the office of our former well-loved principal. Then Mr. Touton leaves to become the head of the St. Joseph High School, and also engages himself to Miss Edith Cammack, whom, in course of time, he marries, and the Websters go broke” sending him a gift to show him that it pays. Two tennis tournaments, school and society, furnish a little Page One Hundred Thirly-l+o excitement, Hillgardncr winning for the boys and Meryl Leave] excelling among the girls. The reward is a large “Central” pillow. We don’t think Hillgardner needs any further invitations for sleep, but that rests with him. The Websters win both the singles and doubles in the inter-society scramble. 1 lavighurst “stars” in the former and with Yeomans as teammate cleans up the latter. Dr. Harvey Wiley, erstwhile warrior in the pure food struggle, leaves loose some interesting news in Assembly on how to avoid glucose and coal tar and why we should not look upon the apple peel when it is red. We soon forget, which is natural. The Board of Kducation is said to have forbidden our participation in the Sons of the Revolution contest. They mustn’t believe in monopolies. However, by special dispensation or—well, anyhow, Westport competes. We’re not “sore,” but it’s an interesting notation. However, cooking and sewing arc added to the curriculum and the month is gone amidst savory odors from the third floor. ODrinlm O temporal O mores! Gone the right to “spoon” on the stairs and in the Assembly. Gone, also, the old system of Luminary nominations. Behold! the people rule, and the new staff’s elected. Allen Griffin mounts to the position of dcspot-in-chief and Glenn Woods is appointed art editor. On the seventh. Bishop Partridge conveys us to the land of the chopsticks and we ponder with the I ieathen Chinee. Two weeks pass, and Mr. Forsythe, an alumnus, feeds us with very palatable advice: soon Representative Borland is allowed to tell us of the land of Panamas and hot tamales. We hear the Luminary staff is working hard and hope it’s true. We want to get something for nothing. That’s why we go to school. The editor says we will, and he Page One Hundred Thirty-three ought to know. The office makes the clubs shut up at 4 o’clock now. This is accompanied by universal kicking, all to no avail. It all comes out to the good, though, and we become accustomed to conditions. Club “rushing” is over now. It was pretty hot while it lasted, and some got the neophytes they wanted, and. naturally, some didn’t. We hear the Websters gave a hay ride that will long be remembered. It ought to be. Nmtrmbrr As a taste of what is to follow, we “show off” in an exhibition game of “basquette bawl” with Westport at Convention Hall. Central hooks the big bite of the 35-31 score, and we feel happy thereat. The “Mouse Trap” is sprung in Assembly. Paul ebb and Ardelia Smith starring, with the able assistance of a number of fair damsels most pleasing to look upon. November 10. we feel the rumblings of internal conflict and civil war breaks out in the inter-class basket ball games. The first struggle (?) ends, Seniors J8 and Juniors 10; Sophs 22 and Fresh 12. On the twentieth Miss Barnes tell us pretty little stories, oh, awfully cute, about her butterflies and her spring and then pictures them on the ivory keys. We clap very much and the next day get a chance to buy the first Luminary, which some of us like and some of us don’t but we buy the whole edition just the same. Mr. Nowlin says that the yellow paper is g(x� d for the eyes. They’re going to pick the Christmas play actors soon. We always read the newspaper out loud so as to get practice. Well. Thanksgiving is here at last. It’s dreadful the way these holidays do interrupt the course of thought. We leave the building and our studies, but meet ourselves coming right back again with an increasing thirst for knowledge and a severe case of indigestion. Cheer up, the worst is yet to come. Christmafs is right before our eyes. You know, they give us a few days’ vacation then. We know a vacation is in sight. We know that well; our lessons are convenienty doubled when such a vacation is in sight. And it's still November! Curses! Pafe One Hundred Thirty-four Drrrmhrr Out of respect for their age and learning, the Seniors are permitted by the under-classmen on December 8 to go through the basket ball series without a defeat. Next on the ladder of success are the Sophs; then the Juniors; but even with the aid of binoculars we cannot see the Freshmen. Out of the “awkward squad” Coach now picks the more promising material to trv out for the Central team. Cheek, Rcber, Menze, Jackson, Dancy, Campbell, Griffith. O’Brien, Fifield are selected, the last three becoming the “goats.” The December Luminary now comes out to make Christmas worth while. We also go to sec the play about which Mr. Dillenbeck spoke in Assembly. We clapped so hard that Mr. Bainter thought it was good enough to lx? given to the night school. We’re going to eat all kinds of indigestible stuff now. so we can make good resolutions, if we live. dlamtarg, H112 We come right back from the vacation to be greeted by the announcement that Myrtle W right has won first place in the annual Luminary story contest, with William Rubin and Rachel Stutsman winners of the second and third places respectively. Then on the 4th our bouncing basket ball team, consisting of Cheek, Menze. Dancy, Rcber and Jackson, humble the hefty Alumni team in a 35-16 tangle and get binged by the Westport quintet 29-27 two days later. We know we have the best team and show them two weeks later when we revenge ourselves decisively to the sweet Page One Hundred Thirly-fivc music of 30-24. Meantime, we win from Topeka 40-44 in a great Garrison finish while Westport is giving Manual a taste of what is to follow. We get our term cards now, worse luck, and have the exquisitely unwelcome pleasure of sympathizing with two deposed captains, Xorton, track, and Cheek, basket ball. Campbell now drops into Cheek’s place as guard and we roll along once more. We eagerly devour the contents of the third effort put forth by the Luminary | en-pushers and hear as the month’s closing announcement that the preliminaries in debate result in the choosing of Havighurst, McKinley, Boand, Cline, Brown, Wingert. Begun and Weinberger to uphold Central’s reputation in the second triangular debate. Say. but this was some month! Jffhruarif N With the joy that passeth all understanding.” we hang the kibosh upon poor old Manual 48-31. That trip through the snow “paid in full.” On the 5th the S. L. H. Club gives My Lord in Livery,” with Paul Webb as My Lord and La Verne Watkins doing the jelly-wobble. The next society play is given by the Aristonians, “The Parliament of Servants.” It is very exciting and realistic. We are told that the other societies arc going to give plays. I guess we can stand it. On Valentine’s day the Minervas give a peach of an open session, with a varied and unique program, followed by green mints, cream and cake. The impromptu debate affords a few moments for thought when Lottie clinches the argument by explaining her version of “what makes the world go round.” Meanwhile we smother St. Joe 39-24 and take delight in adding another cipher to Manual’s empty percentage column with the soothing syrup of 43-18. We think we have more than evened up the old one point score of last year. Washington’s birthday gives an excuse for another Luminary and holiday, and we all resolve to be great. It must have been fierce when George went to school. The Webstcrs end the month with a farcical drama of camp life, which suffers under the title of “Vacation.” Somehow, queer to say, that word is beginning to whet the appetite. Page One Hundred Thirty-tix ittarrb With a common feeling of approbation, we now shake the worthy hands of our affirmative team and pat the no less worthy negative upon the back. After months of arduous toil. Dame Fortune grins upon the former and slips a two to one defeat to their brothers. Exit Amherst trophy, or rather aw-reservoir. We’ll see you again next year. On the 18th. the Minervas show off “the New Professor in Assembly, and our basket ball team wins the Western high school championship. Meanwhile Missouri slaughters a certain Jayhawker in Convention Ilall, and a Central relay team, composed entirely of new men. leads all the way in a race with Westport: “Slats” takes first in the hundred and Lockwood second. Westport also ran. The orchestra “feedles up” the Assembly, and we’re still living. The Luminary staff lays down its work with a last glittering production having a yellow cover and red daffodil, a very pleasing combination, if you’ve ever seen a daffodil. The Ccntralian work leaves “no rest for the wicked.” It also bothers those not on the staff. We’re all having our pictures taken and spending lots of money. It will be the limit if that Ccntralian isn’t good. The newspapers say Spring is here. Maybe it is. but you can’t tell it by going outside. Everybody’s walking to school. The cars can’t climb through the snow. Nevertheless, spring is here on the calendar. Enter sassafras, sulphur and molasses! L'gh! Only two more months of school! (Say, confidentially, we have to add some more to this page; it isn’t near full, literally speaking. Of course, we don’t believe in putting anything in the retrospect that isn’t the review of an actual event, but this page must he filled to carry out the uniform plan of the book. Hold! An idea! We can fill the space, dear reader, by calling attention to the numerous pictures scattered throughout the advertising section. It’s too bad March wasn’t a bright and sunny month. March is known for that in Kansas City. The track men are training hard in the gym. I think we mentioned that spring is here. We were quite correct. It is. Well, this jxage ought to be complete. Ha! We hear a rattle in the case. We must compose the type.) We repeat: Only two more months of misery. Page One HunJreJ Thirly-scvcn April anil lHaij April first, Fool's Day in truth: the cards are “out again.” On the second, the deserving arc rewarded and the Seniors stamp with the seal of approval those whom they think should receive office. So, also, does the Junior class. The relay team repeats in the K. C. A. C. games. On the 15th, our own “Dot” Sublette and her uncle, Mr. Wallis, give a “perfectly grand” recital: on the 17th. Mr. Seymour follows with an inspiring lecture on Lafayette”; and Friday we have short hours again to go to see the track meet, which most of us don’t on account of the rain. On Monday the Glee Club vociferates a lengthy program in which its president quavers a solo and two of its ‘Taggers” pull off ‘‘That Baboon Baby Dance” and several other popular classics. From a ballot taken in Senior meeting, the following are desig- nated to their respective positions: The man who has done the most for Central. Allen Griffin; the best athlete, John Rcbcr; the worst grind, Eileen McGranc; the class Beau Brummel, Sidney Ringolsky; the “jolly good fellow. Sam Hurst; the most popular girl. Lavinia Peters; the worst politician, Louise Black; the biggest grafter. Claire Detrick; the worst “fusser” (male), Graham Campbell, and Helen Potter receives the same office in the female class. On the 26th we all go to the Literary Contest and see the Wcbsters walk away with the contest, 20 points, the Minervas coming second with 11. Our track boys come back from Lawrence with the heavy end of a 71-60 score. Then on May 4th we win the triangular meet with 48J4 points. Manual getting 2 T 2 and West-port 39. A week later we squeeze a close first in the Missouri Valley meet, W estport falling but 2 | oints behind. We don’t know what became of the Manual and Westport rooters, but we yell for them anyhow. The K. U. meet comes off next Saturday, and say, confidentially, we’re going to repeat. W ell, this is all; the big guy says to hand everything in. Great Guns, but it’sgetting hot!
