The custom is a time-honored one that we accept along with our parents and our religion. If you asked the greatest achievement of the class, I should state it as the sum of our successes, of which this book is the memoir. We have maintained the most vigorous intellectual, social, and moral life that has ever existed in any Kansas City school. This is a record ot which we are proud, but it is not the achievement we will remember long. We shall always think of the boys and girls who have made this possible by their glorious spirit of youth and fellowship. So, in the far. dim future when the autumnal years have home their harvest and the spring is but a memory, not only will we remember our record with pride, but the members of the class of nineteen fourteen will recall with a mist of tears in their eyes and a flood of love in their hearts the splendid group of young men and women that went forth in that year from the traditional portals of Central to battle for the right and to conquer.

(Huh Season B THE 1913-1914 season of the Glee Club closed with a rush which can only indicate a successful career. There were only six fellows back from last year, but by their persistent work and by the selections made by Miss Whitney the present club of eighteen was organized. The individual voices are somewhat above the average for the last few years and the different parts are better balanced. As in former years, the club had a very successful season in Kansas City, giving twelve concerts in the churches of the city and one at Hickman’s -Mills. On the 9th of April the club started on its Easter trip, and every fellow was ready to uphold the former high reputation of the Central Glee Club. At the Harrisonville Opera House, where the club sang on the first day out. it gave one of its best concerts and was received with appreciation by a large audience. The fellows were all lodged in the same hotel, and since you can imagine what twenty fellows when out for a good time can do. it is not necessary to go into the details. Mr. Holmes, Mr. Talmadge, ami Miss Whitney were with us, and nothing of a serious nature happened. However, you might ask Blew what electric light globes cost, and any of the fellows can tell an interesting story of the ball game which was nearly called off—but not on account of rain. On Friday morning the club rendered a short program at the Harrisonville High School, which was followed by an address by Mr. Holmes. At Rich Hill the club gave the best concert of the season. Probably some of the enthusiasm on the part of the fellows was due to appreciation of the chicken suppers. The club left Rich llill for home Saturday morning after having many interesting encounters. Ask Stevenson the score of the ball game, or Detrich what he thinks of the Rich Hill milk-shakes. Ask Arbogast why he ran three-fourths of a mile in three minutes, or North about the one-a-cat game. The specialty numbers are all especially good this year. The quartet is the best the club has had for years. The octette has some good humorous songs and receives much applause. The solos by Bindley and Ehrnnian are both fine and always draw encores. The chalk talk by Fitzer is a new line of variation,” but certainly makes a hit. The character sketch by Arbogast and Fitzer is a head-liner and they put on a good line of jokes and songs which all enjoy. The piano solo by Thompson and the violin solo by Miss Whitney are both classical and classy and lend weight to the program, and W alter's cornet solo is a leading number. All in all. it certainly has been a banner year for the club. Financially it has proved a great success, and the club is planning another trip. As for upholding the reputation of Old Central, the club has not had a near rival from the former years. Everywhere the song To Central” and the yells meet with rounds of applause and everyone is satisfied that the club of 1913-1914 is the best yet.” However good the club may be. it must and does attribute its success financially to Mr. Talmadge and North, the business manager, and musically to Miss Whitney.

In spite of the fact that our school is small, that some of our teachers were transferred to a rival school, and the belief by some that literary work is worse than dull. Central has had more contestants in this part of the school activities than in previous years. The Luminary stories were unusually good, and from this smaller contest arose the encouragement to try out for larger prizes. The name of our school does not imply all that we are. “Central, and vet not only central, for are we not known even unto the Atlantic Coast by the young men we send to Annapolis and West Point? In fact, by our representation in the Drama League of America contest, and by our efforts to win the prize for the Mural Decoration Essay offered by the Daughters of the American Revolution, we are making the name of Central contestants a thing with which to be reckoned nationally as well as locally. However, there are always plenty of our students who are careful not to allow the rival high schools of Kansas City to carry off the honors in such events as the Missouri University Scholarship, Temperance Essay, S. A. R. Contest, or Law School Scholarship. “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. We don’t know which one of these makes Central so fortunate. You may take your choice. The Centralian Page Seventy-nine fipmeut uf Aaarmblg ifiall flails rpHIi play's the thing,” old Bill Shakespeare once exclaimed, and Central has been I unusually fortunate in the sketches presented this year. From the “Return of Deborah to “Such Is Life the season was one of pleasant surprises for everybody. Every program was good. The first play was “The Return of Deborah, given bv the Mincrvas on the 10th of November. The plot hinged around the attempt of the beautiful Margaret, aided by her charming chum, to fiersuade her old maid aunts to let her live like other modern girls. Leona Schoenmaker as Blossom, the chum, had a part which seemed especially made for her. Belle McDonald did well as the niece, while Helen Ellsworth and Roberta Cuddy played the parts of old maids so well that no one could imagine they would ever be anything else. The Shakespeares always select a treat on their day, and this year served up an appropriate portion of “The Merry Wives of Windsor. The story is how the Merry Wives get revenge on Falstaff, a conceited old fool, who tries to make love to them. Helen Sea well and Louise Park were the Merry Wives, but the whole play centered about the actions of the wily Falstaff. This difficult part was ably carried by I limey White, Central’s foremost comedian. It was largely due to his wandering mustache that the play turned out as well as it did. The S. L. IP’s have always been known for their dramatic productions, and this year “Lend Me Five Shillings was a worthy successor of the famous “Hector.” Arthur Watson, as the redoubtable Mr. Golightly, held the lead, and brought many a laugh through his ludicrous efforts to borrow five shillings with which to take his fair lady home. Madeline Farley was an unqualified success in the latter part, while Marv Lee Major did well as the beautiful Mrs. 1'hobbs. A great big smile and a happy, pleasant voice aided Irene Boyer in chalking up a decided victory in the Aristonian play. The “Trouble at Satterlces was a story of girlish pranks in an academy, and turned out to be one of the best sketches the Aristonians have produced in years. Irene, although only a Sophomore, showed herself to be one of Central’s leading actresses. Gertrude Northrup had the Irish part, and acted her part very well. Last but not least. The Websters ended the season with a sparkling, true to life comedy written by Simpson Yeomans and Myron Arbogast. The parts were especially appropriate, and Simp” gained eternal fame by his actions as Reuben Green from Corntossle. Arkansas. Myron Arbogast as “Spooks,” the colored gentleman. looked and talked his part to perfection. These two boys were well supported by a dozen other members of the club. No year in Central’s history has ever witnessed such a successful group of sketches as this year. May the good work long continue!

Ot , '14 Note—This story won the Gold Medal in the School Literary Contest THE moonlight came in through the open window, where the boy had nervously entered. It made almost light enough in the room for him to see without the use of the dark lantern in his hand, lie moved about noiselessly, stopping at every few steps to listen. To him the sound of his fast beating heart was like the report of a gun, and his short, nervous breathing like the quick, heavy panting of a hunted animal. The valuable possessions of the room that the boy intended to take away with him were gathered in a heap on the library table. He knelt down by it. and was about to put them all into a cloth, when suddenly a Hood of light tilled the room. The boy involuntarily looked toward the doorway. A middle-aged man stood in it, with a revolver in his hand. He had his hat and overcoat on, and had evidently just come in. “The owner has returned, Hashed through the boy's mind. The man paused in the doorway regarding the boy intentivcly as he knelt by the table. He put his revolver into his pocket, and advanced into the room. “Why, he exclaimed. “it s only a boy! The boy rose and faced the man. and commanding all of his courage, he answered, “Yes, only a boy burglar. I supj osc you will call the police. The older man sat down on the arm of a chair. He seemed to forget the boy entirely in his own thoughts. Then lie smiled; a smile that almost put hope into the heart of the anxiously waiting boy. “Xo, son, he answered slowly, “not just yet. I should like to talk with you first. You are young, very young. You are young enough to be my son, perhaps my grandson. You have a good face, an honest face. Why do you do things like this? The hot blood rushed to the boy's face: all fear of punishment now was gone. Only his hurt pride remained. Sir! You speak as if 1 was in the habit of breaking into | eople’s houses when 1 was told they were away for the night. I tell you this is the first time I have ever done this. I don't care if they all do say that. It is true. This is my first time. And. oh. won't you believe me, sir. when I came in here I meant it to be my last? I have been without work for four weeks—four weeks, twenty-eight days. 1 have spent every one of those Page Eighty-four The Centralian “Go, Thou, and Sin No More”—Continued twenty-eight days answering the help wanted ads in our city papers. Do you know, sir, what it means to look day after day for work without finding it? Do you know how it feels not to have had a square meal for almost three weeks? Do you know what it is to stretch your credit until if you stretched it another bit it would break? Can you, I ask, understand all of these things? Oh. of course, you cannot. You cannot possibly understand! You have probably never in your life wanted for anything.” The boy paused a minute to get his breath. The man clenched his fists until the nails dug into the palms of his hands. He opened his mouth and seemed about to s| eak. but it was the boy that continued. “Why. I—I had no thought of doing such a thing as this until I heard someone say this evening that the owner of these rooms had gone away and would not be back until tomorrow. “Then the temptation came. Sir. the blue eyes of the boy Hashed defiantly into those of the man’s, “you have no right to judge me. Do you know the struggle 1 had with myself before I came in at that window? The world never knows how many times one says 'no to himself when he is tempted. It only knows the one time that he says ‘ves.’ “I have not a cent left, not a one. The rent was up on my room two weeks ago. I thought—I thought I could get enough to keep me until I could find work. It would mean so much to me. And to you that are rich, why, you would scarcely miss it. “Truly, I meant to stop here. Oh. won’t you believe me? Won’t you believe that I did mean this to be my only time? The older man did not answer at once. He got up from the chair where he had been sitting, and went over to the table by the side of the l oy. He put his hand on his shoulder and answered: Yes, boy, 1 do believe you. I believe that you did mean to stop here. But the question is, ‘Will you; can you?’ Now, wait, let me finish first. After the money you get from this is spent, you will need more. This came easy, you will be tempted again to get some more easy. After you have yielded to temptation once, it is easier to yield the second time. The self-struggle between right and wrong is not so great. “My boy. remember this: there is no compromise between right and wrong. A thing is cither right, or it is wrong.” He paused, and let his hand fall from the boy’s shoulder. “You have a mother, boy. Have you thought of her?” “My mother.” softly said the boy. “is dead.” There was another silence for a few minutes. The man gazed dreamily ahead. The eyes of the boy were fixed on the floor. As usual, it was the older man that sjx ke first. The Cenlralian Page Eighty-five “Go. Thou, and Sin No More”— Concluded Some day. boy, you will love a woman, a good woman, and a good woman is the finest thing God ever placed upon this earth. Would you want anything in your past to come between you and your love for her? Look at me, boy!” There were tears in the eyes that met the older man’s. The color had all died out of the face now, leaving it a pallid white. I he man continued: “I am going to let you go. I am going to give you the chance. Hut first, I want you to put your hand into mine and swear by your dead mother’s name that your path from now on will be straight, that no matter how great your temptations are you will not yield.” I he boy put his hand trustingly into the one that was held out to him, he looked straight into the other's eyes. I thank you. oh. 1 thank you more than I can possibly ever tell you. I give you the word of a boy— no, I swear to you in the name of my angel mother that my life from now on will be the life of a boy that is worthy to be her son.” “I believe you. my boy! I believe you.” fervently said the man. He took his pocketbook out of his | ockct, and counted out five twenty-dollar bills, and handed them to the boy. I want you to take this. It will put you on your feet again, and keep you until you can find some work to do. No! you must not refuse. If you wish to please me, if you wish to make me happy, take it and say nothing about paying it back.” 1 he boy took it, and grasped the other's hand. The hot tears rolled down his cheeks, now; he moistened his lips and tried to speak, but no sound came. ” I hat s right, old fellow. Don't try to talk. I understand. You have already thanked me enough. Now go!” He pressed his hand, then watched him turn and go slowly out of the open window. He went over to the window, closed and locked it. then turned and looked silently, with unseeing eyes, at the heap of treasures the l oy had gathered and left on the table, lie brushed a tear away from his eye. The owner of the room did go away for the night,” he said to himself. He moved toward the table. “If 1 were as young as the boy, no—but it is meat and drink to me now— meat and drink to fool some of the cleverest police in Kansas City. No! I am too old to start life over, now: I am too old to sj onge the slate off clean.” 1 hen he took a bag out of his pocket, put the heap of valuables on the table into it. went into the next room, and climbed out of the open window there. Page Eighty-six The Centralian By Leonora K. Showalter, ’14 Note—This essay won the Gold Medal in the School Literary Contest OX the bottom of certain still pools along the sea coast may be found smooth, shining pebbles, which, as they lie embedded there in the softness of the white sand, seem exquisite marvels of shape and polish. So they arc; yet the marvel, in truth, is not so much the perfection they now possess, as in the manner in which that perfection was achieved. For not in the stillness of those sand-bottomed pools did they lose their sharp crudeness of angle, their rough unloveliness of surface. Rather, in the turmoil and warfare of running waters, they were jostled, and crushed and smoothed; in the storm-dashing of the waves, they were tossed and broken and polished, until, at last, from out of that chaos of nature, they were thrown forth upon the sands— and the world, realizing their perfection, calls them beautiful. So, as with the pebbles, it is with all mankind. The most perfect characters the world has ever known, those who have suffered and endured and even perished for the sake of some great principle, are not those whose lives have been lived in the still pools of luxury and contentment, but those who. facing the storm blast of adversity, and knowing bitterness and discouragement, have yet remained undaunted, until, like the sj ear shaft of the young Arthurian knight, they became at last of that enduring “grain storm-strengthened” by the very forces that opposed them. Theirs is the dear vision of the sufferer; the dauntless ambition which plants new gardens on the rich soil of unrealized hopes, that future generations may be enriched by the heritage of the harvest. Few men whom the world has called great lived to see the completion of their achievements, for no truly great achievement reaches fulfillment in one short life-span. Yet if that one span, essential even in its incom-pelteness. weakens and falls before the fury of adverse elements, just so much a part of what might have become a perfect whole is lost. Hence it is that those who are truly great, whose lives and whose works go to make up an all-important span in the bridge of human achievements, are those who, in the face of criticism and opposition, stand unwavering and unyielding, firm in the strength born of struggle. The Cenlralian Page Eighty-seven The Storm-Strengthened—Continued Thus Galileo, groping amid the darkness and superstition of his age toward the light of new truths of science, knew not only the discouragement that comes of the world’s mockery, but endured as well the physical torture which was the punishment of those who sought for clearer understanding. Vet, unafraid, he persevered in his beliefs, and today the ideas of Galileo, perfected by generations that followed the trail he blazed, stand as the everlasting monument to a man “storm-strengthened to endure. Runyan, too. | ossessed that strength which finds life in conflict. Springing, as he did from the despised, uncultured and illiterate class of England, his existence might well have been monotonous, undisturbed and unachicving. had not his soul become the battlefield of a fierce struggle against doubt and temptation, and when, from this fight for spiritual conquest lie came forth victorious, he yet was forced to remain for eleven years in prison, because, in opposition to the laws of England, lie dared to declare to the world the truths which were revealed to him through suffering. No man could have had strength to endure so much for the sake of a principle who had not known the bitterness and achieved the victory of that soul-struggle. To know through his mind-creations the inner heart and self of the literary genius is to realize the strength which is his through conflict, whether that conflict be with his own soul or with an antagonistic world about him. Shelley, dreamer in a world of realities, knew well the bitterness of that world’s misunderstanding, yet that very bitterness gave strength to his genius, for it forced him to produce work which was above criticism. Byron, colossally egotistical, everlastingly dissatisfied, portrayed in those solitary, joyless and misanthropic heroes so characteristic of his work, his own solitude and soul strife. Swift, scornful of and rebellious against man’s petty controversies and shams, vented his antagonism in the bitterest yet most vigorous satires ever produced, while Ruskin. the idealist, “fighting the battle of his time against avarice, vulgar materialism, and unbelief, found strength in that struggle to produce those masterly essays which express so vividly his love of beauty and his unfaltering zeal for righteousness. In conclusion, as the very jiersonification of a life developed and consummated in the perfection of storm-given strength, stands Abraham Lincoln, the ablest President and one of the most magnificent figures in all the history of the world. Although Washington stands coordinate with him in name, Washington, with all his greatness, knew but a few times the bitterness of opposition and calumny, felt but in scant measure the strength that is born of conflict. To Lincoln, Destiny gave but two gifts—a good mother and a yearning for achievement. and with the memory of one and the inspiration of the other, he breasted, unfalteringly, the storm waves of adversity. Even from his birth circumstance seemed to have placed bars to his advancement. His people were the lowliest of the lowly; his father ignorant, shiftless and lazy: his home a miserable hut, where culture, educa- Page Eighty-eight The Centralian The Storm-Strengthened—Concluded tion and the refinements of civilization were unknown. He himself was awkward, uncouth and ungainly, with high-pitched voice and unprepossessing manner. Moreover, he came forth from the very depths of obscurity to face men great of power and reputation, men who were everything that he was not. Yet this man, in less than a score of years, stepped into the foremost rank of that generation of orators, took place not only beside but above the most gifted statesmen of that day and. greatest of all, stood at the helm of a nation’s destiny and guided that nation safely through the chaos of civil war and disunion. One historian, summarizing the character of Lincoln, says: ”Xo one attempts to explain the origin of the genius of Lincoln trained in the merciless schools of adversity and penury, he rose in public life and became the leading American of his time.” Perhaps it is true that the origin of that genius has no explanation, but on its development and consummation the historian has himself unknowingly thrown the light of revelation by those words “trained in the merciless schools of adversity and penury.” For thence it was that there came to him that enduring, all-achieving strength that is the gift of strife, of suffering, and of storm, and thence, out of just such suffering and storm, does all man’s life and work, like the pebbles made beautiful by the tumultuous waves, acquire new strength, new inspiration, new perfection. The Cenhalian Page Eighty-nine (ihr Atttpriratt Spmorranj By Homer Bair, ’15 —This oration won the Gold Medal in the .School Literary Contest DEMOCRACY has been an ideal: in America it is becoming a reality. The earth is held in its orbit by a balancing of two opposite forces; the suspension of the one would crush all life to the center of the earth; the suspension of the other would hurl our civilization into infinite space. Yet these two forces are so balanced that we tread about daily without being disturbed. In the realm of man these forces are represented by institutions and individuals. The institution would draw the individual into its fold, destroying his initiative; the individual would lose himself in the wilderness, where his initiative would be useless. Progress and civilization depend upon a mutual relationship of the two; Democracy depends upon a balancing of the two. At no stage in the world's history have these two forces been balanced. In Rome it was the Patrician against the Plebeian; in France, the Aristocrat against the Peasant; in England, the Puritan against the Cavalier. The radical difference or the lack of harmony between the Puritan and the Cavalier resulted in the banishment of individual outcasts to the bleak and barren New England coast. From this band of exiles a nation has grown which outshines the Athens of Pericles, the Rome of the Caesars, the England of Elizabeth, and the France of Louis XIV. That individualistic spirit which inspired the colonization of New England promoted the conquest of the continent. When that spirit found itself hemmed in on the East and West by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, on the North by Canada, on the South by Mexico and its gulf, it turned in its path and beheld an intrenched plutocracy. I here were no more forests or wilds to be explored, no more uninhabited countries to be settled, so the individual has had to stop and try to readjust himself to the great organizations of business. Thus a foundation was established on which to build a democracy. To destroy the financial organisms would be a calamity. The growth of machinery, the expediency of transportation have made great enterprises a necessity for both national and international importance. The trouble with America is not too much democracy, but there is not enough. Our government has a democratic tendency, while great corporations of business reign with a despotic Page Ninety The Centralian The American Democracy—Concluded hand among a people permeated with democratic principles. eros in the guise of industrial monopolies; Caesars clad in the raiment of privileges; Medicics of capital that sail ships on the waters of every sea; railroads that have woven a network of steel rails over this entire country; industrial corporations that send products into every nook and corner of the world. These are the tyrants of America: not tyrants of industry only, but tyrants of both industry and government, whose mighty influence creeps into every political, social, and economic problem. Tyrants whose avarice and greed would crush the people into destitution, and place a yoke on their shoulders heavier than the bonds of ancient feudalism. Pharaohs of capital that are building glittering pyramids of capital with the gold carried from the desert of toil by the people. Put who will break this si ell of industrial despotism—the people. The salt of the earth”; the toilers of society, whose blood, since the dawn of history, has boiled at the martyr’s stake and flowed onto the ground for the sacred rights and privileges afforded bv the brotherhood of man. God’s people, whose deeds are made immortal by the march of the six hundred to Versailles and the anthems which rose heavenward from the multitude following the standards of Oliver Cromwell. The American democracy rests upon the shoulders of the people; if it is a failure it will be a failure of the people. The citizens of this country must instill democracy into the institutions of capital, purge them of plutocracy, and strike a balance between them and individuals. Man was not made for the institution, but the institution for man.” Democracy can be accomplished only through the efforts of those profiting by its existence. Did not the Dutch citizens drive the tyrannical Spanish from the soil of the Netherlands? Did not the American patriots, few in numbers and undisciplined, rid this country of the tyrant George III? Did not the peasants, oppressed and trodden into the very dust of the earth, break the spell of French aristocracy? Does it not follow, then, that our democracy rests with the people, “God’s people. who toil in the factories, work in the shops, guide the plow through the furrow, and fell the trees in the forest? The people who have turned the American forest, desolate and unexplored, into a powerful nation: the trackless wilds into beautiful cities: brought forth from the dark abyss of the earth rich minerals; cultivated the vast and fertile expanses of land into waving meadows. The people who have heaped upon this commonwealth all its glories and riches and have piloted this nation into the foremost ranks of international powers. The people who have sacrificed their lives, their property, and broken the Ixmds of love amid the carnage of the battlefield that this nation might live. America is its people ; its people is its democracy. 7 he Centralian Page Xinely-onc HJhrrp Dppprat ICmtps Abound By Chester H.

Track Page Nincly- e en Morse— Center Page Ninely-eighi tScirinn of the tBaakrt iBall Sraamt THE outcome of the basket ball season of 1914 was somewhat unusual and a little less glorious than that of last year. Year before last we occupied first place with Westport; were undisputed champions last year, but this year we must share first with l oth Manual and Westport. The training season opened with Central in about the same predicament that Manual has been in for some years —no gymnasium. This fact worked a double hardship in that we could not play the usual interclass games, which are great material developers. Notwithstanding, our fellows started out with grim determination in a little two by twice church gymnasium. As a further encouragement. Captain Skinney got stepj ed on and was out some time with a sprained ankle. To cap it all, three promising players flunked out. The schedule promised to be one of the most exciting ever played, and no one was disappointed except in the outcome. Our warriors first went after West|x rt on her own ground and proceeded to get walloped to the tune of 38 to 27. But to quote a well known authority, “we only expected to win eight of the nine games scheduled.” In R idol—(juard The Cenlralian Review of the Basket Ball Season—Continued Vincent—Forward the next game we saw a chance for revenge. Northeast was the victim. Score 24 to 20, Central. That game was not exactly the walk-away we had intended to make it. The Northeast team adopted the slogan, “Beat Central,” and came very near living up to it. Next on the program was a landslide from Manual, 46 to 27. Then, with unbounded pleasure and joy unconcealed, we defeated Wcst-|K rt 32 to 23. To all appearances, Manual was out of the championship race and so, of course, was Northeast, hence it was for Central and Vest|x rt to argue. The next game was a hair-raiser to the Central rooters. Northeast, at whom we smiled, rolled up a score of 20 to our 21, the game being won only by Vincent's free throw in the last few seconds of the game. We again succeeded in defeating Manual, but on the following date West] ort took the big end of a 31 to 28 score. While we were defeating Northeast for the third time, the Manual team took their second from Westport. Manual now had won two games from Westport, the latter two from Central and Central two games from Manual. All depended on the last game with the Crimson team. Score. Manual 36, Central 28. Result: Central, Manual,and Westport tied for first, Northeast second, the latter having lost only nine games. This state of affairs is very unsatisfactory, but the season ended so late that it was thought best not to play off the tic. Vincent proved to be chief j oint collector of the team, having to his credit 143 points, over half the total score. Walker—Forward Page Ninety-nine The Cenlralian Review of the Basket Ball Season—Concluded Viner- Guard Morse succeeded in making more fouls than anyone else, totaling 60. Walker from the other forward position scored three more goals than his last year record. Rider and Yiner did splendid work as guards, Rider having dropped 4 goals through the basket, the first time in his career. Yiner scored 10, which is unusual for a guard. Rider was chosen as one guard on the All-Star team. “Coach Young's first basket ball team is one to be proud of. The individual scores arc: CENTRAL. OPPONENTS. G. F.T. F. G. F.T. F.

But contrary to expectations, the showing made by the track squad was excellent. The first meet of the year was very inauspicious tor Central athletes. None of the following entries won places: I aw-rencc and Stevenson, 50-yard dash: Plot ho and Goessy in the 880-yard run: . Willson in the high jump, but our relay team, composed of Lawrence, McGoon, Rider, and Morse easily defeated Manual and Westjx rt. The K. C.-M. U. annual meet was also a stumbling block, the same sprinters, with the addition of Walker, being defeated, while the same relay team lost a close and exciting race to Manual. Fhe next event was the annual interclass meet. A different plan was used this year, so that all persons would have a chance. Instead of counting only four places, eight were counted, first place being given ten points: second, seven: third, five, and on down. Under this arrangement, the Seniors won, with a score of 141, to 109 for the Juniors. 32 for the Sophomores and 25 for the Freshmen. Lawrence, of the Juniors, was the individual star, annexing 49 points; Rider, with 45, and Walker, with 30, were strong for the Seniors; Byam was the jioint winner for the Sophomores. With a team of onlv five men. Coach Young entered the High School Day meet at Columbia, Missouri, for the first time in five years, and by getting 18«4 points secured fifth place. The following were the events the Blue and White placed in: 100-yard dash—Lawrence won in 10:1 5, breaking the Central record of 10:2 5, formerly held by rage, 03. 220-yard dash—Lawrence won. 440-yard dash—Rider got third place. 880-yard run—Rider got second in the first race, and McGoon third in the second race. High jump—Walker tied for third at 5 ft. 8 in., equaling the Central record made by Mclntire. ’ll. Striebv did not place in the weights. The Missouri Valley meet was won by Manual for the second consecutive year. Central, by getting 19J4 |x ints. annexed fifth place. The Central results: 100-yard dash—Lawrence, second; Walker, third. One mile—McGoon, fourth. 440-yard run—Rider, second. 880-yard run—Rider, first. High jump—Walker tied for third. Shot put—Striebv, fourth. The Quadrangular meet will be held on May 16. and will be run the same as last year, in classes, according to the average of the age. height and weight. The K. I'. Invitation meet will be held this year on May 23. to which Central will send eleven or twelve athletes. These meets are held too late for reviews in the Centralian.

Like some wild dream, it is all noise and hurly-burly. Tis here; ’tis gone before we realize it. It is a scene as old as Central and as new as this morning’s sunrise. School begins on the ninth, a date greeted with different feelings by the various pupils. Those whom the school bell wakens from a pleasant snooze in the shade of the old apple tree return reluctantly: while those who have been following the plow or indulging in some similar form of light exercise, welcome the coming nine months of rest and recreation with joy. Club members, however, soon forget the good old summer time in the mad whirl of the rushing season. Hopeful sophomores who have gotten a new hair cut and have remembered to wash behind the ears for the occasion are solemnly introduced to their appraising superiors. These sophomores are fearful lest they should not come up to the rules and specifications, but they needn’t be. Heaven knows the clubs arc eager enough to get them, though the members appear to be entirely willing to !e: ce the roll as it is. They go on the theory that it is not good to swell the youthful brain with thoughts of vanity. Sophomores The Cenlralian Page One Hundred Seven Retrospect—Continued are given much strange information preceded by a discreet. “Now. far be it from me to run down another club. ,)Ut ----etc. Presently the poor innocents are elected, pledged, and initiated, after which come sighs of relief and a peaceful lull. The nation is saved. Northeast is with us. We are told that they will leave very soon. The boys are rather sorry, for Northeast has some rather pretty girls. ()ur girls keep their opinion to themselves. On account of Northeast, the clubs have to meet in the far. unheard of corners, the S. L. II. in room one, the Shakespeares wherever they can. the Aristonians in Mr. Holmes’s office so he can keep his eye on them, the Min-ervas up under the roof, the Wcbstcrs down in the lunch room, which is all very fitting | erhaps. Before we arc hardly settled the month is over. Northeast not out yet. (Drtnhrr W e are getting used to it. The freshmen are rapidly learning that a teacher who wears trousers is not a wicked ogre who bites little boys. Our shiny, new books that smelled so good are already filled with pictures and notes. It is still hot, but while there are ice-cream cones there is hope. Mr. Holmes amuses himself with an impromptu assembly which keeps the audience in the agonizing fear that it soon won’t be audience. Out of kindness, the names of the victims are not published. On the ninth come the music club tryouts. We weep for Miss W hitney, a martyr to a gratef ing) cause. At the next assembly, a man tells us about a book called “Thinking Black.

W e take one look and exit with haste. “Thinking Black” would Ik fine to stand on hile hanging pictures, hour days later, Mr. Holmes amuses himself again by having the candidates for election to the Luminary staff make campaign speeches in Assembly Hall. The school feels that it is ini|)osed upon and gets revenge by sentencing the twelve worst speakers to seven months of hard labor in the Luminary office. Immediately the defeated ones form the Central Journalistic Club. Mr. Rainsburg is made president. He is asked what the purj)ose of the club is and has to confess that he does not know. Great club that! The Luminary staff meets for the first time and has some difficulty in choosing the place, every one wanting a jxisition full of glory and no work. Soon, however, all differences arc patched up and the editors weep on the business managers necks. Fwentieth, musical program. A week later a man from Cambridge gives a talk on “Habit” in the most approved Harvard accent. We reflect that the worst habit is the habit of lecturing on habit.

Next came the Shakespeares in Merry Wives of Windsor” with Mr. I limey White of the loose whiskers, looking like a goose destined to become pati de foi r rassc. We get our cards and once more try to explain to our stubl orn parents that these semi-term grades do not really count. Stubborn parents reply that we are to quit running round at night till we bring up those grades. We answer Yes” very meekly and decide that the three greatest nuisances of modern life arc parents, report cards, and sweet girl graduate books. These last arc enough to make a man lose all faith in woman-kind and drive him into eternal celibacy. A Missouri University program is sandwiched in before the S. L. 11. play, Lend Me Five Shillings.

The following Monday the Websters end the club programs with a musical comedy that has no heroine! We suggest that next year the Websters give a show entitled The High School Girls,” a Study in Youth, Beauty and Folly; seventy-five per cent girls; a stage door pass given with every orchestra ticket. Mr. Virgil Thomson gives a musical program on the fifteenth. Then comes Christmas eve and another Luminary. We have a musical program consisting mostly of orchestra. William A. Lewis, Jr., is brought to hear it. He is known as Bill to distinguish him from his father, who. being a dignified teacher, must be called William by all his pupils.

We feel right smart gloomy, so carefully listen to the exhortations of the Reverend Mr. Abernathy. It docs us a lot of good, for on the following day the Intersociety Representatives have a secret interview with Mr. Holmes and desecrate his private office by playing wink-'em therein. What else they accomplish is unknown. On the ninth the basket ball season is officially opened with a scrimmage between Westport and Central. The conceit is completely knocked out of us by our defeat. 38 to 26. But the next Monday our attention is turned to the bewildering costume of a certain vocalist who performs. The fourteenth sees the boys again wrought into a high pitch of excitement over the preliminary debate tryout. Some folks are happy afterwards, anyway. The fifteenth brings forth another basket ball game, this time with Northeast, our step-brothers, as it were; and we have the pleasure of walloping them 24 to 20. The twentieth produces the annual award of the first prize Luminary Story Contest to Miss Leonora Showaltcr. The sub-winners are completely overshadowed. But the next day brings all students u| on the same level of struggling through the examinations. Suffice it to say that we somehow exist during the next few days. Friday night our natural exuberance again rises to the top under the influence of a complete and unarguable victory over Manual. Again, however, the fatal day of semi-term cards comes around and we—well, let each one think for himself. The thirtieth brings a somewhat diverting assembly consisting of equal parts of announcements and yells. The S. A. R. winners are announced, but are not at all shocked, as they have heard the news previously. The one prize that strays off to Northeast knows better than to leave the building at any rate. (Of course, you realize that our dear friends are still with us.) We express our general good feeling toward the world that evening by tripping up the winning Westjx rters and giving them a few tips on how to carry off a glorious victory. Northeast nOt OUt yet. iFrltritari} As our friend Mr. Clements would say, “This glorious month of awakening spring when the happy little birds begin to wend their instinctive pathway northward is fittingly ushered in by the blazing forth ujjon the industrious student-body of the most excellent school publication ever issued from the press.” In plain United States, the Luminary comes out. The ninth issues forth an Iconoclast who brazenly presents Shakespeare as a salesman, Pa ft One Hundred Ten The Cenlralian Retrospect—Continued selling perfumed soap and pink and white wrappers by the simple process of exercising his scientific brain. The next day we are almost prostrated by hearing the I-ord. how the wind blows” story. These being the days of woman’s usurpation of man’s rights, the seventeenth finds the girls lunching at the Y. W. C. A. and forming a High School Club. Moreover, they have not yet “busted up” over somebody’s hairdress. Were it not for our sense of justice we would fain neglect to mention the B. B. game with Westport on the twentieth when we are defeated. 31 to 28. Xuft said. The twenty-third finds the center spot of our assembly platform occupied by our own diminutive Miss Whitney, whose energetic performance upon the violin is much appreciated. W ith our winning over Northeast again, and good luck in the games the same night, we arc momentarily cast into first Northeast not out yet. fftarrh This frisky month blows in with a double header for the assembly, something as yet unheard of, consisting of a speech bv Dan Crawford and the Intersociety Flay. W'e fear, however, that the latter completely counteracted all the big and noble thoughts developed by the former. Sixth—15. 11. game with Manual—score 36-28. favor of Manual—triple championship. (Note the brevity of this. ’Tis a painful subject.) We are awakened from our dull stu| or of sorrow by the fact that Karl Smith puts one over on “Fop.” W’e are glad to know somebody can. The fifteenth we listen to Mr. Dillenbeck’s School of Oratory and wonder why we could not do likewise. Then we are aroused almost to applaud each speaker as the Central and Westport debating teams build their little stories one upon another in the figure of our talented Mr. Holmes. But oh! the night of the twentieth—ignominy! Two defeats in debate simultaneously! A thunderbolt from a clear sky. W'e won’t say what we think of the judges for—oh rats! ach himmel! carramba! los diables! ad infinitum! !! ??!! The twenty-third proves to be another practical joke perjjetrated upon the victims in the extemporaneous assembly. Alack! Alack! Alack! It is almost as nerve wracking as having one’s picture taken, esj e-pccially in a club. We pity the photographer, but cannot refrain from pushing our neighbor off the back board or putting our hands on the shoulders of the person in front. The twenty-fifth is the first real good step of the girls toward athletics when the Seniors go down to the Y. W. C. A. to tryout. Right here I cannot refrain from digressing long enough to mention a frightful catastrophe which occurred on the way. Scene: Corner of Eleventh and McGee. Time: High noon at one o’clock. Audience: The Centralian Page One Hundred Eleven Retrospect—Concluded Many Northeasters, dental students, and basket ball players (masculine). Enter two girls with a six-foot escort carrying a diminutive suit case. First girl, “Well, we leave you here.” Takes suitcase, swings it blithely in the air. Snap! The handle breaks, the thing flies open, and oh! blushes and shame! Feminine gymnasium apparel is strewn far and wide in the middle of the street. Second girl squeals, burns clear up neath her o’erhanging pompadour, and begins to laugh. So does the audience. First girl gets mad, claws things hastily together and both exit on the run. An epidemic of mumps sweeps over our most dignified Seniors. Alas! How are the might v humbled. X. T . 1 Northeast not out yet. April Leonora, as usual, gets the essay for the Missouri Scholarship. In fact, she docs not think that sufficient and will go to Columbia for the finals. As they say April showers bring May flowers. I reckon the flowers appear the sixth in the Choral Club Program. (Ves, we have studied Chesterfield.) Some octette, beyond a doubt. Wc recommend that they go out on a world tour to Hickman s Mills. The societies, literary, arc soon in the throes of choosing representatives for the contest. How many youthful aspirants crushed to earth! ’Tis cruel without question. 1 he luister holidays prove a brief respite from the turmoil, but upon our return, everything is settled and dope sheets appear. I’pon the fourteenth, however, everything is forgotten in the thrills of a Senior election. Who would have thought such self-respecting people as attend Central High would stoop to such graft! It is horrible, horrible, most horrible! Nevertheless, our honorable editor-in-chief breaks the spell, or creates a precedent by getting elected to the presidency. The eighteenth introduces the orchestra to the student-body and we are very glad to meet it. The next day is the perilous moment of the Senior ballot. We refuse to comment upon the appropriateness of the elected ones to their high and mighty offices for fear of our lives. 1 he twenty-fourth of April will forever be as great a date for some Centralites as the seventh of January was for Caesar. L pon this day their reputation is made or lost; most of them lose, for each was picked to be a winner by somebody, if no other than their doting parents, but only twelve could win. However, we may content ourselves with the thought that at least we are not as freaky as the geniuses who won. The next Monday there is a still briefer meeting of the right honorable and aged Seniors in which the giftorian goes almost unanimously to Mr. Ross Rainsburg. J bus ends the chronicles of this our Senior year, in the year of our Lord, 1914. Northeast not out yet. P. S. Northeast—Gone!

We couldn’t afford to recommend anything that wasn’t just right. In putting in the “Tec” line—we feel that we can supply any drafting need that might arise—and that we have put in a line that has been guaranteed to us by the makers —and we add our guarantee to theirs in selling the line. “Tec” Drawing Instruments, for instance, have been sold for the past fifteen years in every corner of the civilized globe. They are used in many colleges and a long list of industrial drafting rooms. And added to that is the fact that many sets sold eight and nine and ten years ago have been giving excellent service ever since. We’ll get the original voluntary letters and prove it, if you wish. Instruments like that must l e strong, dependable and accurate. Besides—we know you can buy them at a considerable saving if you get them here. And so it goes through the whole “Tec” line.
