A two-story brick building rented by the Hoard of Education housed the new institution, which was simply called “Central School. Since that time the original structure has been torn down, the north and south wings of the present building erected, and additions made to both of these. Over forty-five hundred graduates have received their diplomas in those forty-eight years. Those who have remained in Kansas City have been important factors in her remarkable development, filling with honor the highest of municipal |K)si-tions. Some have attained even world-wide prominence, and in doing so have reflected glory on the school which made their success |K)ssihlc. Thirty years ago a little pamphlet printed on rough paper and called “The Luminary was first issued, hut now it stands in the first rank of high school publications. Meanwhile Central has developed a remarkable school spirit and has always been a leader in establishing a high moral standard. Her athletic teams are among the best the Missouri Valley has produced. Her work in literary contests is national in its scope, her students having won some of the highest possible honors. It is with a feeling of pride in the record which she has so well maintained, and with the utmost confidence in her ability to succeed in the future, that thousands of loyal alumni will gather at the opening of her new building next fall and cheer once more for their beloved Alma Mater.

Although handicapped by sickness and a shifting membership, which necessitated several rearrangements of the program, the club has been able more than to uphold the name of Old Central. The concerts given in the city were conducted so successfully both financially and musically that several outside trips were deemed advisable. Early in the season Hickman's Mills was visited, where in return for an excellent supper and a general good time the club gave its first “out of town” concert. We were very enthusiastically received and assured that, if possible, the trip would be made an annual event. Friday, April 2d. we embarked on our annual Easter trip. As usual, the fellows started out for a good time, and they certainly found it. At Butler a delegation of girls and ladies met us and saw to it that we enjoyed ourselves. Many tales of happy times are related by the different boys. For instance, Johnson and Bindley can tell of a certain picnic, and North and Dietrich of the joys of walking. In the afternoon the club sang at the High School and in the evening at the Opera House. Both auditoriums were crowded, and rounds of applause greeted every number. Always happy to respond, the club made a decided “hit.” Saturday we departed for Rich Hill. Arriving there we marched the length of the main street to the tune of “It's a Long Way to Tipperary,” played by the horn quartet. We attracted much attention and so had a good “house” at the Methodist Church that evening. The program was rendered in fine style, and we were given an invitation to come again. Faster morning saw us on the train at 6:50, bound for home. At 8:30 on the morning of April 24th the (dee Club took the train for Smithville, where we gave three short programs in the afternoon, returning early in the evening. Rain spoiled some of the plans for a hay ride, but we had a good time nevertheless. Ask Miss Whitney and Ehrnman al� out their friend, the constable, the fishing trip, and other matters. Vocal solos by Ehrnman and Bindley, their duet, a quartet and an octet were the vocal specialties on the program. A trombone solo by I). Fitzer, a cornet solo by Frye, a violin solo by Shure, and a horn quartet were the instrumental numbers. Shepard and Johnson had an exceptionally clever comedy sketch which always “pulled” the house. These, along with several Glee Club numbers, made up a program hard to beat. In Mr. Talmadge, the club has a staunch friend. For three years he has been adviser for the club and has ever been found working in its interest and for its welfare. To Miss Whitney should go all the credit for the success the club has attained. Her faithful, tireless, and persistent efforts are worthy of the highest praise. The Cenlralian Page Sixty-frvc . J Sruirui nf thr Dphatra THE fact that this is Central s Banner Year cannot l� c better illustrated than by the debates. Although the Amherst cup is still reposing in the Northeast trophy case, the Central teams have a record of which they can well be proud. The boys’ question, Resolved, that a single tax on land values should he substituted for the present system of taxation in this state,” was one of intense interest, and a squad of about forty worked out for the team. The eight finally selected were thoroughly grounded in the principles of the question pro and con. Dale Allen. Homer Bair. Eugene Solow. and Dale Thompson representing the affirmative: and James Carmean, Harry Hamilton, I red Suddarth. and Harry Yiner the negative. Attacks of mumps forced Thompson and Carmean into alternative positions without a final tryout. The affirmative was defeated three to two by Northeast in a debate so close it was extremely difficult to decide the winner, while the negative defeated Manual to the pleasant tune of five to nothing. Revenge is sweet! Our girls trounced Northeast unanimously in their debate, thus avenging their brother orators. I he subject. Resolved, that the Massachusetts ballot should be adopted in Missouri, seemed rather one-sided, as all four negatives went down to defeat. Our team handled a difficult situation extremely well, however. and the decision of four to one proves the debate was close. Mary Baxter. Isabelle Mackenzie. Mabel Ruth, and Helen Tann were the victorious affirmatives, while our negative representatives were Alfrieda Bircsak, Irene Boyer. Esther Nachman, and Suzanne Tuohy. It is to be hoped that next year there will be even greater interest in debate, and that the Amherst cup will be resting again in the rightful home before the next Centraliax appears.

THE woman gathered the folds of the gray shawl closer round her throat and sank down with a sob upon the doorstep of a little river shanty. A sob of compassion caught in her companion's throat as his eyes rested upon the pitiful figure. I ain’t done nothing, that ain’t the reason; it’ jes’ cause —I can t do nothin no more that I wanted to—to go. I ain’t fit for nothin’ no more, (io away an’ let me go if 1 want to: livin ain t nothin but |� ain fer me let me go—let me go. ’ Her muffled sobs broke into a cry of pain and pleading, as she tottered to her feet and beat wildlv with all her weak strength against his breast. A cross suspended from the man’s throat gleamed sharply in the pale moonlight, against the black vesture he wore, as his breast rose and fell with the nervous quiver of his breathing. The woman sank back upon the step in a moment of reverent calmness. f • I_fergot— Him— I fergot,” she gasped. 1 didn’t sec your cross. Stay with me a little while—you don t— understand yet, why—I was going to jump off the bridge—yonder an’ I want—I got to tell you. Yes, you forgot; you can tell me why after while, but rest a little now. rest a little. he said gently, his kind voice trembling a little. She bent her head in her arms; presently she raised it and looked boldly out at the river. What’s that?” she cried hoarsely, pointing to an object in the water. The man turned his eyes for a moment towards the river. • Don’t be frightened : it’s only the moonlight shining on a log floating down—a piece of driftwood. � l_th—thought it—it looked like—a—, she buried her face in the folds of her shawl covered hands. I know but let’s forget that. It was only a piece of driftwood. • Driftwood—,” she raised her head, echoing the words softly. It ain’t fit fer nothing, is it? “No. nothing.” . , . “That’s all I am, jes’ a piece of driftwood, driftin’ along in the world like that log out there. Jes an outcast of Eden—yes. I do know about Eden—but I don’t belong to it—I belong to the scums—the scum of the earth. The gray shoulders shook with sobs. “I ain’t a-going to try it again—God’s people suffers enough without such struggles with ’umsclves. I sit here all day gittin’ ready to go, but I kept puttin’ it off. Seemed like I couldn’t, she choked, “when the sun was shinin’ an’ people an’ wagons was crossin' the bridge yonder, an' boys was a whistlin’ an’ singing’ up an’ down the banks. I jes’ sit an listened an watched uin. 1 guess I was ashamed. Page Seventy-four The Driftwood—Continued She wiped away the tears that coursed down her wrinkled cheeks and began in an aching voice: •1 knew it was wrong—fer—me to ta—take my own life, hut. good Father, what—can I do with hands like them ? She Hung off the shawl and held out her crippled old hands, misshapen, horridly knotted at the knuckles and so bruised and swollen that every scar seemed ready to break with blood. I can’t do nothin’ with them hands. Ain’t I jes’ the same as got no hands, such old claws as them?” For a moment the rector drew back in horror, a moan escaped his lips as he took the uplifted hands in his own. “Ah. heaven above! What torture!” he cried brokenly. “Your hands, your poor fingers, tell me how did you do this?” He sat down beside her on the narrow little step, laid the worn old shawl over her thin shoulders and waited. “ I ell me. he pleaded, “for I was sent to bear the burdens of the world for such as you.” 'I know, she answered sadly. 1 knowed when J saw your—cross a-glistenin'—I sewed the fastest machine at Wesleys A pern Factory—I ain't sewin nowheres no more—my hands they been gittin’this way fer years, always being cramped an always gittin hurt; seems like they jes’ drawed up an’ I can’t git 'um out again. 1 ain’t fit fer nothin—an there ain t nothin I can do no more. An’ the woman that’s a runnin’ my machine now will get jes like me. I wanted to go—but I couldn’t ever try it again, you’ve made me scared to.” 1 here, there, now, came the kind reply. “I know I have, but I couldn’t let you go, heaven would never forgive me. I'm going to take care of you now. We won't think about this any more'. It’s l een hard. I know, but I’m going to help you. Maybe 1 can do something for the woman who sews your machine now. Maybe I can save her hands and body from becoming like yours. Perhaps an investigation should be made of Wesley’s conditions.” She took a juick breath. Kate, could you help her, my man’s sister? She has three little ones like I had. If you could—could keep Kate from losin’ what I lost so she won’t ever feel like doing what—what vou kept me from. ihe Burden Bearer sighed. lie knew how hard one’s soul was to keep; lu had borne others’ burdens and found other lost souls before. I told her, whispered the woman, not to strike like I did the day Big Lim come to me an’ sez, More aperns, Lizzie: we re runnin’ short. What’s the matter with you? You’re losin’ out.' If he’d seen my hands that day. mayl e he’d a-seen why I was losin out. I hadn't been sewin' ’cept when he was lookin'—I couldn’t. I’d paid fer spoilin some goods ati I hadn’t had nothin' to eat but old bread for so long. Twice they cut out pay an’ sometimes we never got it all ’cause we done somethin' wrong, er stitched crooked. When he said that to me. I felt the last little sjwirk of life 1 had slippin’ out from under my fingers an’ I saw it stitched down into the white braid 1 was sewin’. Big Lim an’ them aperns had bought and sold me till I was empty. I've been the one that’s bought them aperns. I made an’ I've paid fer ’um till I ain’t got any heart, or any soul, or life, or anything—I finished sewin' the apern an' put it in mv basket—” She stopj ed and gazed out at the river. A black log drifted past upon a silvery rippling chain of moon-beamed water. The Cenlralian Page Seventy-five Driftwood—Continued The Burden Bearer scarcely breathed as he followed her gaze. “Driftwood, she murmured, “that river s jes like livin’ tonight with all that driftwood, ain’t it?—I guess maybe I acted kind of queer. 1 guess it was because I knowed 1 wasn’t—I wouldn’t ever sew no more. En’ 1 sed, ‘Short, are you? Who’s fault is it? Mine, ain't it? Mine, because I can’t make more aj erns everyday. It’s all my fault cause my work ain’t meet in' all your orders. 1 reckon it’s my fault ’cause 1 can’t buy food like 1 needs or live decent like 1 oughta, ’stead of down in an old sick bed of fever an’ tlies an’ rats. It’s my fault that I gits so crazy blind I can’t sec where I’m stitchin’, or whether I'm sewin' checkered aj crns, or black aperns or white ones. All i know is that I got to be a stitchin’ faster, faster, faster, if I wants any bread an’ coffee fer me an' the rats. It’s my fault ’cause I’m losin’ out’.’’ Her voice began to break, to rise and fall in softness and harshness of emotion. She covered her face with her hands, whispering between crippled fingers. “ ‘You been drawing on my workin’ power an my body, till it’s all gone. I been a human machine for ten years an' now I’m worn out. Machinery, Lim Poole, you takes better care of this old machine l ve been sewin’ than you have of me that’s run it. You’ve oiled it and cleaned it, so it wouldn't wear out, but you’ve give me— you’ve give us jes’ enough so you know we got to come crawling back fer more. We been afraid to starve, but we ain’t now. Ten years fer the same pay—Where is Lizzie Mertz, I ask you? I ain t her no longer. The heart, an’ soul, an’ life that was hcr’s has gone. (lone I tell you! Where? Where is it.' When that day comes when ever’thing is goin’ be dust again, the heart, an’ soul, an’ life I give you isgoin’ be freed from this machine 1 been sewin’ fer ten years an’ come back to me. come back to my old body.’ “ ‘Oh, shut up, Lizzie Mertz,’ sez Lim. We’re short.’ Then the woman that sewed next to me got up an’ sez: “ T reckon you’ll be shorter tomorrow. We quits. We got to have more pay. Lizzie Mertz quits. Say it, Liz. We strikes! She’s our leader, Lizzie Mertz!’ ” Again as her voice broke shrill in ending, her restless, wild eyes turned from the rector's white face to the river. A small lighter skiff sailed through the patch of moon-streaked water. “Baby driftwood,” she called softly, “I don’t want to talk about the strike. I—I can’t. 1 was most killed. I— wished I had a-been, maybe I coulda went to my old man Jim, an’ my little butterfly children, but I—I guess maybe the k—kingdom of heaven ain’t—ain’t filled with driftwood. Of course they drove ’uni back. 1 told 'uni to go. they was starvin’. They’re voung yit an’ can stand it a while yet. Yes. they’ve gone—gone back to where my soul is waitin’ the day of reckonin’. I can beg fer a livin’, I guess. That ain’t the way. but it’s all I can do. Yes, I can beg—only—only there ain’t nothing worth while beggin' for to me no more. Livin' ain’t nothing but pain. A man passed me on the bridge this mornin’ an’ give me something. I wasn’t hungry, I ain't no more, so I jes’ lxmght these pretty flowers. They’re kinda like me—they ain’t got no life.” She reached into her lap and held out two crisp, paper roses, loudly pungent with wild perfume. “Jim had roses an’ I wanted some—his’n was real.” The Burden Bearer took the flowers and held them to his face. The starved soul of the woman seemed to be wafted out of their artificial vellow centers. Page Seventy-six The Centralian Driftwood—Concluded “They arc pretty,” he said, “but 1 have something to tell you. I am going to take you to a home of mercy, where you can rest, and where your hands will be healed. It s a lovely place. Everyone is kind and good to everyone else: they will he kind and good to you, too. In summer they have a beautiful garden full of real roses —like Jim had. We can’t go tonight: it is too late, but I shall come for you early tomorrow morning. When you are well and strong again there will be something worth begging for. Life will all be different. Begging for women and children like Kate and her s would be worth while, wouldn’t it? Oh, yes. little children’s hearts and souls are hard for them to keep when men must turn them into mills from play We must help them. You and I must clear the river of its driftwood. You will not be afraid to stay alone until I come in the morning, will you?” “Oh, no.” she breathed, still hearing in her heart the re-echoing assurance of an undreamed of existence. “No, 1 won't be afraid. I’ll be too happy thinkin’ about what you jes’ said—me a-beggin’ fer women like Kate. An’ a livin’ there—there where you said ” “Yes, but you must rest now. Goodnight, and I shall come back in the morning.” lie helped her to her feet, blessed her as she bent her head, and went into the night. She stood a moment to watch and listen as he passed away, then she entered the shanty. She fumbled a moment in one tiny corner before a box-made cupboard; presently a candle glimmered faintly in her hand. She turned, shielding the tiny flame, towards a small table whose rough top was covered with a newspaper, a week old edition of the Savannah Breeze. On one outfolded section of the paper, a gray and black blurred picture of a woman was printed. Her wild, thin face was framed by a worn shawl that fell from her head in long folds around her figure. Across the top of the paper flared the words: “First Strike Leader in Southern Mill.” It was the face of Lizzie Mertz. Crouching beside the picture, eyes gleaming jet-like ; a faint sign of tiny sharp teeth beneath the long pointed nose; round coarse hairy body startled into stiff stillness; its long tail outstretched over the | aper. sat a large vicious river rat. Lizzie Mertz uttered a shrill, wild cry, letting the melting candle fall from her fingers. The hairy body slid to the floor, darting under her feet as she sprang to the door and preceded her in the darkness toward the river. As he crossed the bridge the Burden Bearer stopped and bent over the railing in the moonlight, to watch a log that lay moored to the edge of the bank by a thick clinging black scum that spread about it pulling and holding it. Finally a sweeping underbody dislodged it and the log glided away in the current, swiftly and eagerly. Such a piece of driftwood in the river had been Lizzie Mertz in the Doubtful River of Life. On the doorstep of the little river front shanty lay the gray shawl faintly scented with the memory of the wildly perfumed roses and warm from the presence of the driftwood. There the Burden Bearer found it in the early morning, damp with dew. The Centralian Page Seventy-seven John Uralrg By Dale Thompson, '15 Note—This oration won the Gold Medal in the School Literary Contest THE mark of fame is daring; the measure of greatness is service. In an age, the most foul recorded on the annals of English history; out of a country where drunkenness and immorality were the pastimes of kings and profligacy the sport of nobles; at a time when the jjeasantrv were steeped in ignorance and clothed in poverty, John Wesley came forth, spotless in character, implanting within the hearts of mankind a new hope and inspiration. His words swept the air. foul with the scent of sin, with an irresistible cleansing ozone. In the nation at large he brought alxnit a new moral enthusiasm whose jx)wer lessened the profligacy which had disgraced the upper classes and the foulness which had infested literature ever since the restoration. He implanted within the hearts of mankind a spirit of mercy and of kindness and kindled the smoldering embers of enthusiasm which remedied the ignorance, the physical suffering and the social degradation of the outcast and the poor. The jieople, God’s | eople, were spiritually ahungered and he gave them to cat; they were athirst and he gave them drink; they were in prison and he sent John Howard unto them; they were sad and discouraged and he filled their hearts with a new hope; a seething flood of immorality was spreading over England and he checked it; lie met and coped with the problem of his age and he solved it. Wesley was the most striking figure of the eighteenth century. In the face of defiance from church and state, against the tide of public opinion, even amid the jests of those whom he was trying to aid, he stood forth, preaching a gos| el of faith and of purity. Sec him at Oxford, a zealous churchman amid the jeers and scoffs of his classmates! See him in the wilds of America, away from home and friends, a missionary to the Indian ! See him in England, traveling thousands of miles each year on horseback, ministering to the needs of the poor and discouraged! See him at St. Ives standing on a jutting crag high above the sea, with the people before and the murmuring ocean rolling away to the horizon behind! Hear his voice as it rings forth in the quiet of the gathering dusk while the waves beating against the crags make an undersong of worship: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and 1 will give you rest.” See him at Newcastle amid the ruins of the vast Cathedral with the dying embers of the setting sun painting idle pictures on the rustic ivy-clad walls! Here he soothes the hearts of the j eople: Let not your hearts l e troubled. In my father’s house are many mansions.” () you mothers, you who would take the bitter that those children of yours might have the sweet, you fathers who Page Seventy-eighi The Centralian John Wesley—Concluded would toil out your lives that those sons might have an education, you men who would shed your blood amid the carnage of battle that this nation might live, behold in John Wesley a perfect type of manhood, meek and lowly in heart, unselfishly consecrating himself in the service of humanity. There are those who have confused genius with greatness. The blare and triumph of military prowess and the pomp and show of temjx ral j ower so dazzle those that l ehold that oftimes they are blind to the sin and selfishness rankling within the heart. A Cromwell preaching a gospel of simplicity and sincerity to an immoral England—a Fredcrick holding at bay the allied armies of all Europe on the plains of Austria—a Napoleon leading the armies of France across the Alps and humbling at his feet all Eurojic—arc the heroes of our youth. But let us turn the magnifying glass of unprejudiced historical inspection on these characters. What do we find? A Cromwell chastising Ireland and Scotland with savage cruelty—a Frederick breaking all laws of international honor for his personal aggrandizement—a XajK)leon wading to power and fame through the blood of his victims. Wesley was a nobler ideal. He had the religious ideal of a Cromwell without his cruelty, the initiative and tenacity of a Frederick without his selfish ambitions, the executive and directive ability of a Napoleon without his bloodshed and crime. The work of Xaj olcon lies crumbling in the dust, but today twelve million men and women arc imbued with the spirit of Wesley. He has given to the world a new ideal of greatness—the measure of greatness is service. The peoples of the earth have immortalized many of their noblest heroes by paying to them the homage and respect of love. Time and unprejudiced posterity is the only true criterion of a man’s greatness. The winds of time and the billows of criticism may erode or partially extinguish from the rocky pillars of fame the names carved there by the iron hand of power and of genius, but the deeds of service arc everlasting. As long as men arc actuated to deeds of public good by pure and unselfish motives, as long as the spirit of friendship and of love throbs in the hearts of humanity, the setting suns of future generations will make resplendent in their golden rays the spotless name of Wesley. The Cenlralian Page Seventy-nine Ephrnirra By Morri E. Dreyfus Note- This sonnet won the gold modal In the School Literary Contest. I watched a May-fly flit one summer day Above the surface of a jkjoI. Like light He flashed, now here, now there, in gleaming flight, First to the lily's cup and then away To try his glistening wings in care-free play. No thought of harm his pleasure seems to blight, And yet for him the closing shades of night Bring with them death. I laughed to see him gay, Unknowing that a day was all his life. Then stopped I short and on my knees did cower: Might not some power above so laugh at me? The bitter thought pierced through me like a knife: My life was less than his; 'twas but an hour Lost in the depths of all eternity. jin Drfrtuip of jJmmnrtalttij By James Cleary, ’16 Motts—This essay won the (told Medal in the School Literary Contest ALMOST for the first time in the history of human thought, and absolutely for the first time in the history of Christian experience, the conception of immortality is today being brought into very open and serious question. To he sure, there have always been doubters and deniers like Omar Khayyam, who have pictured life as ()nc moment in Annihilation's Waste, One moment of the Well of Life to taste. The -Stars are setting, and the Caravan Draws to the Dawn of Nothing.—Oh, make Haste! The majority of men. however, have always believed, for one reason or another, in the immortality of the soul, and have, apparently, been willing to accept this doctrine without questioning. In this instance, as in almost no other instance in the history of thought, men have agreed to believe what they knew they had no means of proving. The situation, today, is vastly different; no longer do we find this conception of immortality accepted by the majority of mankind. Even when we come to men and women intensely interested in the subject of immortal life, we find people who seriously doubt the truth of the doctrine. Such is the status of the doctrine today. As long as we agreed with the general idea of the ancients that the soul and the body were distinctly separate elements of man and had no connection whatsoever, either permanent or necessary, we did not doubt or deny that our souls were immortal. But as soon as man began to accept the theory advanced by our new psychologists, that the soul is nothing more or less than one of the numerous functions of the body, and is created by the brain, then doubts and denials arose. And it is this now well acknowledged theory so it is claimed—that will banish the question of immortality forever. From this, it may seem that the believers in the doctrine are few, that it is a theory that is gradually being denounced by mankind. The greatest thinkers of today, men of religion, science, literature and philosophy, The Centralian Page Eighty-one In Defense of Immortality—Continued are ardent supporters of the theory of immortality. And is it necessary, simply because we believe in a theory, for us to agree on the interpretation drawn front it? Certainly we need not do so. Do we, then, have to believe that when mortal life ceases the soul also dies, simply because they developed side by side and worked together during their existence as one? The believers in immortality are. by no means, appalled by a theory so universally accepted as the theory which I have already staled. Indeed, the interpretations of the theory are so numerous that it is difficult to select a few. It is hoped that three of the most important will be sufficient to prove that hoj c of immortality is still retained by many people. The first interpretation is that of Doctor John Fiske. It may be illustrated by comparing the body and soul to two parallel strands of wire—a wire fence for example—fastened to jx� sts. To all appearances there might be some connection between them. But because one wire may become broken it is not necessary that the other strand also should break. Thus the body and soul may be connected in some manner during life; but it does not have to be the case that when our body dies our soul must also cease to exist. The second theory is that of Professor William James. It is his belief that the brain is the transmitting medium through which the soul makes its presence known. His interpretation, necessarily, supports the theory that there is a connection between the brain and the soul. But it does not follow that the soul is dead when life has passed away. The medium through which the impulses of the soul are transmitted has simply ceased to exist. t Dr. Thompson advances a different theory from cither of the two already mentioned. He believes that the soul is the producer of the brain. It is a scientific fact that there is no difference, either in size, shape or composition, between the brain of an ape and the brain of man. If the brain from man could be transferred to the skull of the ape, the aj e would become civilized and man would degenerate. Thus he intimates that it is the soul of man that makes his brain, which fact proves that the brain and soul are in no way connected so that when one ends the other does also. It is not likely that we shall ever succeed in making the immortality of the soul a matter of scientific demonstration. In other words, it must always remain one of that class of subjects upon which I may not convince my neighbor, but uj on which, at the same time, I may entertain a reasonable conviction of my own. Although the theory of immortality may. forever, remain uncertified, the assumption of the materialists that the life of the soul ends with the life of the body is perhaps the most colossal instance of baseless assumption that is known to the history of philosophy. No evidence for it can be cited, beyond the fact that during the Page Eighty-l� o The Cenlralian In Defense of Immortality—Concluded present life we know the soul only in its association with the body; and, therefore, cannot discover the disembodied soul without dying ourselves. i In the absence of the above proof a negative presumption is not created. Is it not as possible to believe the doctrine to be true as to assume, from the absence of proof, that it is untrue? Scientifically speaking, there is not a particle of evidence for cither view. 4 When we desist, however, from the futile attempts to introduce scientific demonstration into a subject which surpasses all human experience, and when we consider the question upon broad grounds of moral probability, there is no doubt that men will continue in the future as in the past to cherish faith in a life beyond the grave. In the past the disbelief in the soul’s immortality has always accompanied that philosophy which has regarded Humanity as merely a local incident in a great scries of terrestrial changes. People who have taken such a view of Man’s position in the universe have ceased to believe in future life. On the other hand, he who regards man as the chief object of Divine care, inevitably believes in the immortality of the soul. Opposition, believers in the faith have met and will meet in greater quantity, but the doctrine of immortality will not be shaken. Thus, I believe in the immortality of the soul, not in the sense in which I accept the demonstrable truths of science, but as a supreme act of faith in the reasonableness of God’s work. For the experience, which alone will demonstrate its truth, we must await Death. Arc Man's highest spiritual qualities, into whose production all creative energy has gone, to disappear with his body? Has all this work been done for nothing? Is it all a bubble that bursts, a vision that fades? Are we to regard the work of our Creator as child's play, our life as a building of blocks to be destroyed at the child’s pleasure? I think not! On such grounds as the alx ve, if on no other, the faith of immortality is likely to l e shared by all who look upon the generation of the highest spiritual qualities in man as the goal of Nature’s creative work. The future is lighted for us with radiant colors of hope,—“Strife and sorrow shall be no more. Peace and love shall reign supreme. As we gird ourselves up for the work of life we may look forward to the time when, in the truest sense, the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever, king of kings and lord of lords.’’ The Cenlralian Page Eighty-three 3luiiur: (Orftfr !

Vincr Singer Vincr—Guard Sruifui of thr iBaaket Sail ?raamt I The basket ball season of 1014-15 has been the most successful, the most popular, and the most interesting season recorded in local basket ball annals. This statement is undoubtedly true from Central's point of view. The cver-attractive title of Interscholastic Champions must mark the 1915 team as a highly successful one. The epithet “record breaking must stamp it as the most successful one that Central has yet developed. A great deal of doubt has been manifested in past years as to just where the crown should rest. To free the public from a possible misconception, and to eliminate any possible doubt. Central this year chalked up nine consecutive victories and kept her record clean from any defeat. Many were the gloomy predictions when it was found that Captain Vincr was the only regular carried over from last year. These, however, only served ;is an impetus for greater persistency and harder work-outs. Day after day called for stiff practices, until finally a quintet was developed which could be thoroughly and implicitly dependable. This team, as it was finally picked, was the cream of a host of keen competitors and hoj efuls, and the result of an intense series of interclass games. The first game of the season was with Manual, and we eagerly romped away with a 37 to 20 victory. However, the dopesters asserted that this victory did not signify any special merit because of Manual’s weakened condition. Then came the Northeast landslide; next the victory over Meyer - Guard The Cenlralian Page Eighty-nine Review of the Basket Ball Season—Continued Van lloskirk — Forward Westport, and so on. victories galore. Opinions changed with every succeeding victory, and commendation increased. Singer was proclaimed “the best forward that Central has produced,” and the other members received similar praise. However, in spite of the fact that Central did not lose a game, the season furnished a series of closely contested and highly interesting games. Westport and Northeast could always be depended upon to furnish a close game and to give the spectators a run for their money. The crucial game of the series was the sixth, when Westport desired to vindicate herself for her sole defeat, which had been dropjwd to us by only one point. The result of the game was in doubt until the last few minutes of play. when, with unconcealed pleasure, we watched Milt “cold storage” the game by his four consecutive goals. The ninth game was also exceedingly close, and was decided only by our whirlwind attack in the five minutes of overtime playing. The pleasant surprise of the season was Milt Singer. With his fifty goals, he was the chief point getter of the league and was a big cog in Central’s machine. Morlev, the husky center, outplayed his man in almost every game, and he counted up sixteen goals to his credit. Captain Viner must be commended not only for his excellent playing, but also for his spirit and management of the team. To Van Boskirk must go the honor of being an excellent floor man, besides the sixteen goals to his credit. The agile youth who was always on hand to break up plays, and who was thought to be the best back guard in the league, was our own Carl Meyer. Gent North, after doing good work in two games, in which he made twelve Sinarcr—Forward Pafc Ninety The Centralian Review of the Basket Ball Season—Concluded Mur ley - Center jjoals. was forced to quit because of sickness.

He will be aided by Singer, North and Morlev. and they can undoubtedly give Dear Old Central,” residing in her new home, a strong defender of the championship. Finally, a great deal of credit must be given “Coach” oung, who developed a never-defeated team out of a basket ball squad of poor prospects. uiitmanj CENTRAL. OPPONENTS. G. F.T. F. G. F.T. F.

The prospects for track efficiency were certainly dim, for we could boast of only otic experienced track man, although we relied upon Captain Lawrence as a point winner, yet experience and precc- 1 nt showed us clearly that it takes more than one good man to make a winning track team. The first meet of the season was the K. C. A. C. indoor meet, held at Convention Hall, in which the high schools competed in the 50-yard dash, high jumps, and one-mile relay. Central failed to score a single point. The second event was the M. U.-K. U. dual meet, in which the Central boys repeated their performance of the preceding week. ‘■Coach’’ Young then held an indoor meet to arouse the interest in track and to discover any new track wonders, if such existed. The Juniors were victorious over the Seniors by one point, and the Sophomores trimmed the Freshmen by the same score. The class captains were Bolton Lawrence for the Seniors, Walton Matthews for the Juniors. Milton Singer for the Sophomores, and Clarence Carlson for the Freshmen. Several promising athletes appeared, and with hard work and strict training may yet score points for Central. Next came the M. IT. invitation meet for all the Missouri high schools. Central sent seven men: Iawrencc, C. North. Matthews, Yiner. Flotho. Austin and Carlson. Westport emerged victorious, and Manual came third. Although Central was far from the top with her eight points, yet there was the consolation of beating Northeast, who captured seven and a half points. Lawrence was our sole point getter in this meet. With our cup of confidence still brimming, however, we entered the Quadrangular meet, which was. as usual, divided into four classes, according to age. height, and weight. ()ur rivals spilled our hojjes, but we were able to bring up the rear with 48J4 points. The point winners will apnear on a subsequent page. Although this year’s track results have not been as victorious as was hoped, yet Central is proud of and appreciates the work of her track men, irrespective of whether they have won or lost. Next year, with our better environment and increased enrollment, we can be relied upon to come back in our old-time strength.

Haviirhunit Hruiput of Jhp Qfenma Reason THE tennis season has been a very successful one for C entral. The school tournament among’ the boys drew the largest number of contestants that any tennis tournament at Central has ever attracted. There were forty-eight boys entered, and the matches were hard fought and very interesting. Theodore (“Jed’) Hedges won the school tournament from I rank Mumpus. In the challenge round, Bernard Mor-ley, last year’s champion, defeated Hedges in straight sets, 6-0. 6-2, 6-0. Morlcy received the “C” sweater that goes to the school champion, and because of the ineligibility of Hedges, Uumpus received the cup as runner-up. The girls’ tournament, while hardly as exciting as the boys’, yet produced some very closely contested and efficient rounds. In the semi-finals. Miss Dorothy Havig-hurst met Miss Katherine Kohl and the latter won. 6-4, 7-5. In the finals, Miss Mildred Havighurst met Miss Kohl, and the round proved that the players were about equally matched. Miss Havighurst finally evinced her superiority with the scores 6-4. 5-7. 6-4. A ( entral tennis team composed of Morley, captain, Rumpus. Kcicher and Ferguson journeyed to Lawrence on April 30th to investigate the title to the Missouri Valley championship. Soon after the first round started a downpour of rain put the courts out of condition until next afternoon. Meanwhile the players enjoyed the K. Hedge The Centralian Page Ninety-five Review of the Tennis Season—Concluded C. interclass track meet, through the courtesy of the K. l Athletic Association. When the tennis contest was renewed Saturday afternoon, the amount of time already lost made it necessary to reduce the entries to one player from each school. In the semi-finals Austin of Westport defeated the contestant from the Baldwin High School, and Morley of Central defeated Fitzpatrick of Manual. In the finals Morley outplayed Austin, 5-7, 6-2. 6-4. thus establishing his title to the Missouri alley inter scholastic championship. In token thereof Morley received a beautiful loving cup, presented by the University of Kansas. Reicher and Ferguson were Central’s entries in the doubles at Lawrence. In a hard-fought battle they went down in the semi-finals. Interest in tennis as a high school sport is steadily increasing in Kansas City. Her schools have not been negligent in this respect in the past, however, tor they have brought home this championship for the last eight years.

Before the campaign speeches comes the Minerva program. Miss Tann gives the negative of a debate on woman suffrage. She covers herself with glory. She makes a stump speech to match it. She is elected—the only girl. So far, nothing unusual, but lo, a surprise. The staff disagrees, cannot elect an editor-in-chief. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Douglass are called to help. They give the word: Miss Tann is IT. Next morning the school is shocked. “Ye gods! they cry, what are we coming to? Are all the customs to be overturned? A girl—a Junior—is given the highest position in school. We are ruined. The world is going to the cats.” Bah! No such thing. The Luminary if anything, is better than ever before, and the world spins on as usual. How the gods must laugh! S. L. II program on the sixteenth: very much like the others.

We will not describe it. It can’t be done. On Monday, the debate. We listen to Northeast and Westj ort. We are very polite and all that, but a great deal of the time our thoughts are wandering ofT toward Manual and W estport where our teams hold forth. We win one and lose one. ()n Friday our own teams fight each other, and we wonder how the affirmative lost. Next the girls try their hand at the Massachusetts Ballot Law. It is all staged like the boys' debate. ()ne sad thing must be said. The girls lack “pep.” However, when the women succeed in reaching the present high plane occupied by the men they will l e able to argue as if they meant it about those things that the suffragettes are aching to meddle in. (I l et a dime that the editor-in-chief blue pencils this last.) On the twelfth, the gymnasium showed off. It was rough, and we hope they enjoyed it. We did. Next came Dr. Greene, from William Jewel College; talked to us about the rules of baseball. He does not go according to Spalding, however. Then the (ilee Club. They sang. Some of them are right pretty— that is, the songs are. I ask a question. Do socks occupy the same position in the masculine psychology that hair ribbons do in the feminine? It certainly appears so. Last, the Annual Literary Contest. There are great gobs of yelling and singing and oratory and debating and declaiming, and when the wind has fallen the Websters learn that their noise has not been in vain. “Slaches” are second.
