(0lii (Central In celebrating Central’s Golden Anniversary in her new home, we eagerly turn back the pages of her fifty years of history to the beginning of her wonderful record. In 1865. after the four years of bitter strife, not only Kansas City, but the whole state of Missouri, was without a public school system. Owing to the devastated conditions of the state, even the private schools were almost wholly abandoned. A law was then passed in Missouri, levying taxes for school purposes: but it met with violent opposition throughout the state, for every man regarded his neighbor with suspicion if not with hatred. Kansas City, as all other parts of the state, was divided in her public opinion. But finally, by the untiring efforts of J. A. Bachman, E. 11. Spalding. YV. E. Sheffield, II. C Kumpf, E. H. Allen and T. B. Lester, who comprised the first school board, assisted by J. V. C. Karnes, a public school system was established in Kansas City. In October, 1867, the public schools of Kansas City were formally opened—but such schools. They were meagerly furnished, rented rooms, located in empty stores, deserted homes, or in gloomy church basements. The following year four ward schools were built—the Lathrop, Franklin, Washington and Humboldt. A lot on the corner of Eleventh and Locust streets was chosen by Mr. J. C. Karnes, and a tiny, two-room, brick structure. Central’s first real home, was erected. The first graduating class of Central numbered five pupils, out of an enrollment of 111. But Central opened with one teacher. Prof. J. D. Bradley, and four pupils, William 11. Sceger, now secretary of the Pioneer Trust Company; John 11. Reid, later a capi alist; . Emma Wright, who afterwards became the wife of Dr. E. W. Schauffler, and Mollie Allen, now wife of R. J. McCarthy, vice-president of the Kansas City Southern. The first real graduates of Central were Mollie Yllen and Emma Wright, who finished in 1872; but as there were no formal exercises that year, they received their diplomas with the class of the following year, which consisted of three members, Frank Clark, Nellie Gates, now Mrs. Albert Marty, and Helen Page Thirty The Centralian OLD CENTRAL—Continued. Davis, who later taught school in California. The exercises were given at the Coates Opera House, and consisted of a reading and essay from each girl, and an oration from the boy. In 1882, 1 rof. E. C. Phillips originated the idea of giving a miscellaneous character to the graduating exercises. Mr. Phillips, who was then teacher of elocution and rhetoric, and who later became principal of the new Manual I raining High School, and, who now is the head of the English department at Noitheast High School, suggested to Prof. E. C. White that the exercises be similar to the “regular Friday exercises,” instead of just the orations and essays. Mr. Phillips states that the years 79 to ’83 were especially notable in Central’s history for the great percentage of her pupils who were talented in declamation. Among those who were particularly talented in declamation, were the Latshaw boys—Ross; Henry J., who died recently; Ralph, now Judge Latshaw, and Donald, who died several years ago. Among their masterpieces it seems, were the “quarrel scene” from Julius Caesar, and “curfew shall not ring tonight.” The stars among the many talented girls at this time were Ada Greenwood, now Mrs. A. G. Mac-Latighlin; Alice Kiebler, now wife of Dr. G. W. Davis, and Nellie Lowers, from Honolulu, who married her fellow classmate, Ralph Latshaw, soon after graduation. Of the earlier graduates, two who are notable are Raymond Weeks, who worked as a mail carrier after graduation to save enough money to attend college, and is now Professor of Romance Languages in Harvard University, and Miss Mary Fee, who is connected with the Bureau of Education in the Philippines, and receives the highest salary of any woman in the islands, and who is author of several educational works. Two later graduates who have attained world renown, are Elizabeth Parkina and Felice Lynne. Central's list of celebrities is so great that it would be almost impossible to obtain their names, but among those who have attained distinction, the following are a small part which we have been able to obtain: George Creel, who was for a time the editor of the Independent and later took up social service, and was recently appointed by President Wilson to a place in the National Board of Censors. Captain Robert Wood took an important part in the construction of the Panama Canal. Stanley Wood, brother of The Centralism Page Thirty-one OLD CENTRAL—Concluded. Capt. Wood, joined the Canadian army ; was recently killed in France. Grace Ferguson is the head of the household economics in San Juan. Porto Rico. She has accomplished great things in her work. Recently it is said, the people on the island became too poor to pay the teachers there, so Miss Ferguson started a movement among the Porto Rican women to teach them to make lace. A trade was then established with New York and the movement became very successful. Mr. Boyd Fisher, now of Detroit, is one of the greatest efficiency experts in the United States. An article. “Turnover Cost.” is said by critics to be one of the best, if not the best, efficiency article ever written; he also has written many other articles along that line. Hugh Moore, a graduate of the same class with Fisher, has also distinguished himself As a member of the Illinois legislature he helped put many measures through, one of the most important of which was the individual cup and towel bill, which was later introduced in Missouri. Mrs. W. P. Borland. wife of Congressman Borland, was also a graduate of Central. Admiral Mark S. Salisbury is an admiral in the United States navy. Mr. P. S. Brown was former mayor of Kansas City, but is dead now. judge William Thomas was also a former Central graduate. Mr. Raymond Barnett is a prominent lawyer in Kansas City, and is prominent also in the affairs of the state. Mr. Charles Scarritt, Mr. San C. Seebee and Mr. Hydcn Eaton, are also prominent lawyers in Kansas City. Miss Frieda Von llnwerth is the head of the German department in the New York Normal School. Mrs. Albert Marty, who was formerly Miss Gates, gave the big Ciates home as an industrial home for girls in Kansas City. Dr. Frank Hall is one of the greatest pathologists and microscopists in the middle west. Mr. Leslie O. Castle, also a pathologist and microscopist, and his wife, formerly Miss Blanche Rosencranz, were both graduates of Old Central. Mr. Ray Merrill now has the Chair of Romance Languages in the University of South Dakota. Mr. Merrill studied in Europe, and there distinguished himself, especially in France, but recently on account of the war, returned to the United States. The list of celebrities it seems would reach the hundreds, even thousands, were we but able, to get the many names, but this, it seems, is almost impossible.

Whew! wasn’t Hickman Mills a hot box after the Central Glee Club blew into town? Kvery member of the club will tell you that Hickman is a veritable “Jerusalem, with milk and honey blest.” Say. by the way, there were some good looking girls out there. (Ask “Yirg, he knows.) Hut that’s not all—our “concert tour” has led us into strange and unheard of places, but it was opened with a “program” at the Friends Church, Thirtieth and Bales; thence to half a dozen other churches in and about Kansas City. On April 23 we gave the student body of Central an opportunity to come into closer touch with grand opera, as seen from a practical, business, Knglish (translated out of “original Latin. Italian,” etc.) standpoint. Concerts, however, are only side lines with this body of “operaticks.” The main issue of the season is at hand. The May festival has already made manifest what Central can do in the line of taking-solos. The Choral and (Ilee Clubs took six out of the thirteen solos in the “Bohemian Clirl.” besides a duet and trio. However, the real credit tor their success in this and other things goes to Miss Marie F. Whitney for her untiring effort and endless patience in directing and instructing the club, and also to Mr. T. F. Tal-madge for his able management as advisor to the Glee Club. Page One Hundred Eight The Centrallan Sinus’ Drluttr No one ever spoke truer words than he who said: “There’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.” Witness this year’s debate. After we had won the debates at both Northeast and Westport, defeating the teams of Westport and Manual, respectively, what does Northeast do but “go and do likewise.” Then, when on the following Monday night we debated off the tie, the unforeseen happened—both of our teams were defeated. The decision in both cases was four to one. Northeast had the four and we one. About sixty boys attended the first meeting. From these, twelve were selected, and later the number was decreased to the final eight. The team which debated the affirmative of the question, “Resolved, That Kansas City Should Adopt the Dayton, Ohio, City Manager Flan of Municipal Government, Constitutionally Granted,” included Harry Hamilton (captain), Hubert Kelley, Harlie Smith and Max I.arsch. The negative was upheld by a team consisting of Daniel Atwood (captain), Harry Sheskin, Hen Gatcly and Richard Dungan. We almost got the Amherst cup back this year, and hope to complete the job next year. Page One Hundred Ten The Centralian ilu' Drluitrrs AFFIRMATIVE TEAM. HAMILTON SMITH KELLEY LORSCH The Centrullan NEGATIVE TEAM. ATWOOD SHESKIN LATELY DUNCAN Paqt One Hundred Eleven Girls’ Drhutr To fittingly celebrate her fiftieth anniversary, Central’s girl debaters have performed the wonderful feat of trying for first place, and last place, at one and the same time. Central would doubtless have won with both her teams had it not been for the question, which, judging from the fact that every affirmative won, was hardly fair to both sides. About thirty girls tried out for the teams, which, when finally selected, consisted of: Affirmative: Katherine Turner (captain), Frances Records. Gertrude Kesscl and Ellen Coyne. Negative: Thusnelda Bircsak (captain), Rowena Reed, Alice Millard and Elsie Taylor. I lie question, Resolved, That the United States Should Abandon the Monroe Doctrine,” was in every respect an up-to-the-minute issue, and was, from the standpoint of interest, an admirable one. However, it seems to have been slightly one-sided as regards argument. The fact that six members of this year’s team will be in school next year, speaks well for our chances of a complete triumph in the near future.

KESSEL Note: This story won the Gobi Medal in the Inter-Society Contest. In the inner court of the old French castle all was excitement. Men entered, went hastily to an improvised altar where stood a priest, the lord of the castle, and his son. The red crosses on the knights’ right shoulder and their full chain armor betokened that they were enrolled in the sacred band whose mission was to win the Holy Land from the infidel Mohammedans. As each newcomer came forward, the black robed Father raised a crucifix before him and repeated the words: “God hath willed it.” Thus one after another, the men became members of the Second Crusade. During this ceremony the son turned to his father, the renowned Sir Gewaine. ••Slr, in'lord, thinkest thou not that our enemy. Sir Hugh, hearing that we are of a mind to journey to the Holy Land, will attack us e’er we depart?” “Xay. nay, son; though hostile, Sir Hugh would not attack those bent on a holy mission as ours.” I rithee, father, let us be well on our watch. Godfrey, his son, would not attack us, but I trow Hugh would gladly attempt to withhold us from the fulfillment of our sacred vows.” replied the young knight „ “Nothing dare prevent us. God hath willed that we go. My son. my beloved Constance.” spoke Sir Gewaine. “if Hugh attack us. if I be killed, go thou to the land of our Master. Do thou lead our faithful band unto the Holy Sepulchre.” A page came to the young man and motioned him to follow. On some pretext he left the court and tioned the son of the enemy. ' -agcrly qtics- “Whisper this not to thy liege lord,” answered Sir Constance. “I. with my father and our vassals, leave for the Holy Land at a time not far distant. Would that thou couldst join us. Godfrey!” I fain would accompany thee, Constance, but my father believeth not in such undertakings. The Page One Hundred Eighteen The Centralian -GOD HATH WILLED IT. —Continued. good St. Bernard, who hath begun this noble quest, hath failed to inflame his heart against the infidels. He careth not that the Mohammedans pillage the holy pilgrims. He hath other matters which vex him more,” explained young Godfrey. “But hark, Constance,” he continued, “ ’twas not for idle words that I dared venture into thy father’s house.” Still shrouded, he leaned over and whispered three words into the ear of the other. Three were enough, however, to cause Constance to shrink back. “Knowest thou that of a surety?” he gasped. It is of great truth. My father hath determined it,” was the answer. “I would not tell thee this, I would not betray my father’s confidence, did I not long to have thy journey succeed. 1 tell thee this not that thou mayest save thy castle. I tell thee that I may do my small part to win the Holy Sepulchre. Since thou leadest a band there, thou must be saved. Care well for thy safety, my Constance,” and thus saying. Godfrey left the castle with a heavy heart, lie had betrayed his father’s confidence, but lie had saved Constance for the Crusade. The black figure slowly wended its way to the dark and forbidding castle perched on the summit of a nearby hill. A storm was brewing. As Constance stood at the great door of the castle, the lightning flashed, and in his ears was the roar of the river, fl wing over its stony course near the castle on the opposite hill. Otnnious forebodings, indeed! Those three word;—how much more ominous were they. Shuddering, Sir Constance made his way to his father. “M’lord, something telleth me that we shall be attacked.” “Vain fears, my son.” “Father, be thou watchful.” “What meanest thou?” “I know not. but I fear.” “A knight. Sir Constance, the son of Gcwaine, must know no fear.” With dread in his heart, the young man departed. He could not divulge the secret of his friend. He could only warn his father, and that he had done. The storm was raging in all its wildness. The river half a mile away, beat thunderingly against the rocks. Up into the watch tower Constance climbed. The Centrallan Page One Hundred Nineteen '•GOD HATH WILLED IT. —Continued. The post had been deserted, and during the fast falling twilight he sat there dreaming. How happy he and Godfrey had been during their boyhood. The two families had been closely knit together by many feudal wars in which they had fought side by side. It was but natural that the sons had been inseper-able. The two boys had studied in the same monastary. but while there a quarrel had arisen between the families. Sir Hugh refused to fulfill his feudal obligations to Sir Gewaine. The boys were separated and outward friendship ceased, but before they had parted they had sworn to remain faithful even unto death. That was seven years before, but never since had the tie between them been broken. Secret meetings and hidden messages had made intercourse possible. A crash of thunder interrupted his thoughts. Was it thunder, though? Another crash, a cry of alarm! Thoroughly aroused, the man sprang to his feet an I looked out of the spy hole. The sight that met his eyes filled him with terror. There stood Sir H ugh, ordering his followers to roll the battering rams into place. The draw-bridge still lay over the moat. Only a few seconds and the castle would be overwhelmed. Constance turned from the window and leaped down the narrow stone staircase. When he reached the last step, paralyzed with horror, he saw his father slain. Into the struggle he rushed headlong. Avenge the death—that was his only thought. Few of his followers were there to rally round him, for they were making ready for the journey on the morrow. And so it happened that Sir Constance was almost immediately overpowered by the foe and his an:estral castle captured. lie was bound and carried off. Carried to the ca ;tle of the enemy; of the cruel Sir Hugh, on the hill so near his own. His only consolation was that Godfrey would surely fulfill his oath of fidelity. He recognized the cell into which they had thrown him. Often he and Godfrey had played there when the families had been friends. It was situated high up in a tower overlooking the battlements of the massively built castle. Out of the narrow slit in the wall he could see the river rushing onward over the jagged rocks. Standing there he mused over the happenings of the day. “Ah! ’tis evening. Tomorrow at dawn I would have started for the Holy Land. Now I am in the enemy’s hand. My father—gone! My last vow to him can never be fulfilled. I cannot lead our faithful band to save the Holy Sepulchre.” Tears coursed down his checks. “Had I but told my father! Had I but told him! Then I would not be here, then he would not be Page Ore Hundred Twenty The Centrallan ••GOD HATH WILLED IT. —Continued. dead. Godfrey’s words were. alas, too true: ‘Father attackcth soon.’ He attacked. Little did I dream that he would do so before we started on our journey.” At times the sound of revelry reached his ears. “Yea, verily, they can rejoice. Let them drink, let them sing, while I, poor mortal, stand in this dark and gloomy cell,” he cried bitterly. “Remember, oh ve carouscrs, my men are yet unharmed. As long as one man remaineth for me to lead, as long as I am still on earth, my vow shall not be broken.” In the meantime, young Godfrey sat among the revelers and dreamed. Above him. his dearest friend was locked in a dark, damp hole. The years’ comradeship—should they be wiped out on the morrow when Constance would meet his doom? His Constance—his Constance, who was to lead a band to the tomb of the Master, should he meet such an untimely end? Slipping away, he hurried to the ladies’ bower to seek his sister, the fair Marianne, the constant companion and playfellow of Constance and himself in the days gone by. She, too, was grieving over the fate awaiting the noble prisoner in the tower. “O my sister, bethink thee well. The life of Constance is at stake,” the young man pleaded. “Whilst thou hast been at the feast, I have planned for his escape. Old Raymond is sentry on the battlements tonight. Always I have been his favored one. Tonight I shall bend him to my desire. Wait thou here until 1 return.” Out upon the battlements the girl walked, a large-mouthed beaker of wine in her hand. “The night is cold, Raymond, I have brought thee wine to warm thy heart.” “Yea, my fair mistress, thou hast always on gloomv nights fetched me drink. I have loved thee for it,” the old knight answered. “Here, drink.” He lifted the huge tankard to his face. Deftly the girl severed the cord that held the key to the cell and secreted it. Shivering, she said: “’Tis a raw night, methinks I must go.” Away through the gloom she sped. Below stood her brother. “I have it! I have it!” she exclaimed, joyfully. “Not so loud, my sister. Remember we act against our stern father. If he discovereth us, we, too, arc lost.” The Centrallan Page One Hundred Twenty.one ••COD HATH WILLED IT. —Concluded. “That I know, but my plan is sure,” she told him. Listen well. We shall go to the battlements and wait until Raymond turneth yonder corner. Slip thou to the cell and open it. I shall watch Raymond while thou hringest Constance to the entrance where I await thee. 1 he three of us will come to this chamber, whence escape can be made, for in the great hall all is merry and they are off their guard below.” she explained. ‘‘If I call: ‘Come Godfrey, tis cold.’ then wilt thou know that danger cometh. Remember well.” On the battlements they saw the solitary sentinel. “Why should 1 not kill him?” the young man asked. “Murder must not be in thy soul, my brother. Without blood must Constance be saved,’ the girl urged. “That can never be. Let me make an end of him. Tis better that he perish than one of us.” “No.” The finality of the tone made argument vain. The sentry turned the corner. Quickly Godfrey sped in the opposition direction; quickly he unlocked the door. A whispered “Come,” and the two started back to the entrance so far away. Godfrey slipped; a loose stone rattled; around the corner the girl heard the footsteps of the guard approaching. “Come, Godfrey, 'tis cold,” the girl’s clear voice called. Danger was near. No place in which to hide. Below them roared the river, dashing over the rucks. The steps came nearer. Now Godfrey and Constance, hurrying to the entrance, could themselves hear the heavy foot-falls. The girl’s frightened voice rang out again: “Come. Godfrey, ’tis exceeding cold.” Her “exceeding” could mean but one thing—they were discovered. A momentary decision by Godfrey. Constance was the chosen one of God; he was to lead troops to rescue the Tomb of the Lord. One man had come up with the girl, only one could go down. A spring Godfrey s form shot out into the thick darkness over the rocks of the river. Out of the depths the words, “God hath willed it,” floated up to Constance and Marianne, standing awe-struck on the battlements. The sentinel approached. “Methought I saw two men.” “No.” answered the girl, “there is but one,” and they passed on. Page One Hundred Twenty-two The Centralian iKpspmtaihilittj BY RAYMOND RAMSEY Note: This oration won the Gold Medal in the Inter-Society Contest. Every mission constitutes a pledge of duty. Every man is bound to consecrate his every faculty to its fulfillment. He will derive his rule of action, his mold of character, from the profound conviction of that responsibility. Character is not measured by the pound. Character is not measured by the number of influential friends you have. Character is not measured by vour ability to earn money. Character is measured by the extent to which you realize your responsibility; your obligation to your fellow man. to your country, and to Cod. Hilly Sunday suddenly came to the conclusion that he was responsible for the spiritual welfare of a great many people, and the vim and the vigor, and the earnestness, which have marked his every movement have made us thank God that one man has realized his responsibility. Every sermon hastens the day of his death, but still he goes on, exerting all his energy to save those people who arc too lazy and self-satisfied to save themselves. Courage, like cowardice, is contagious; but there are some who will never catch it. The year 1872 witnessed one of the greatest sacrifices in the world’s history. China was held in the firm grip of an awful plague. Hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants became victims of this terrible curse. The very nation was in grave danger of being wiped out of existence. The disease spread and spread, leaving the horrible mark of its never to be forgotten presence behind it. The meager medical knowledge of the natives served to check the plague as holding up a red flag would serve to stop the oncoming cyclone. In the United States three young men, just out of medical college, realized that the fate of the Chinese people rested at the door of American doctors. They sailed for China, into the very depths of the plague, there to devote their knowledge, their en rgies, their very lives, to their fellow human beings. The three men were taken, but the curse was checked, and the world is grateful and three men realized their responsibility. The Centrallan PaQe One Hundred Twenty-three RESPONSIBILITY.—Concluded. The responsibility of our nation, during the time of diplomatic negotiations, lies with our president and his executive officers. Rut when the time conics to protect our rights, to uphold the honor of the flag we love, by force, then the responsibility of the welfare of the United States lies with every man, woman and child inclosed by its boundaries. As the British admiral, Lord Nelson, said, “England expects every man to do his duty,” so does the United States expect every man to do his duty. There is a responsibility for all. Let no man be a slacker. Not one, not two; but all respond eagerly to the call to assume your responsibility; every man to do his bit. t 5 l f !£ Then, if this country is forced to enter this terrible conflict, when the setting sun casts its ray on the form of the last man to fall, casts its ray on the carnage of the last battle field of the war, we may look back over the events of the past and thank C.od that every man realized his responsibility. When duty’s call Demands our all, And we are urged to fight; I’ll answer, “Yes,” I'll do my best, I’ll answer “Here” tonight. Paqe One Hundred Twenty.four The Centrailan ilhv Snail BY HERBERT KELLEY Note: This poem won the Gold Medal in the Inter-Society Contest. At even’ when the purple steeps The tree-tops, and the darkness creeps Upon the bluish hillsides and along the woodland halls; When e’er the forest’s silhoutte Is woven blue and violet, And misty fields are dewy wet, The dust-white highway calls. I stroll, and watch the crescent moon Glide out upon the night’s lagoon, To drift across the azure like a gondola of gold ; While lily-stars in swirls of gloom. Burst forth in lucent-petaled bloom. And breezes waft the moist perfume They breathe as they unfold. I catch the glimmer of the stream, I see the moonlight’s wistful gleam Upon the silent water, as it wonders at the skies; While all the trees in vesper-praise. Chant litanies of leaf-sung lays; And I. 1 roam the winding ways. And let my spirit rise. Then locusts tune their strident string; Like troubadours they drum and sing. And serenade the leafy haunts of bloom-embowered birds. I wander while the night wind skims The trees, and dallies with the limbs. To satisfy romantic whims. And lisp impassioned words. 1 feel the highway wander-lust— The night-time lure of road and dust Call out from silver roadways where the silent forests lie. I wander when the drowsy moon Is dozing from the cricket tune. And rocking winds have stilled their croon— Their moaning lullaby. When foxfire waves its yellow glow, And screech-owls wail their midnight woe. And dim-lit fields and marshes whir their prayers to the moon; Then let me tramp the white-lit way, Bast dripping brush and boulders gray; Aye, tramp the road into the day, And day would come too soon. The Centrallan Page One Hundred Twenty-five Pirarij—ipaatfattiijlrrsrut BV F. MILTON CONVERSE Note: This essay won the Gold Medal in the Inter-Society Contest. If there is any word which implies thorough and downright criminality, it is “pirate.” In the old English law, the pirate was declared an enemy to the human race, with whom no faith need be kept. Blackstone says: “He has renounced all the benefits of society and government declaring war against all mankind and all mankind must declare war against him.” The pirate of earlier times truly earned this denunciation, and so, too, does the pirate of modern times. In the earlier days, when countries warred frequently with their neighbors, and before great and permanent navies had been established, goveinments w re glad to have individuals join in the work of building and equipping ships of war. and it was natural that individuals should expect to reimburse themselves for the heavy risk and expense they were tak'ng. by appropriating to themselves the spoils of vic-torv. Just as the early sea pirates obtained the sanction and aid of their government for equipping and operating their vessels, in like manner have some of the pirates of our own day undertaken their projects under the sanction and favor of the authorities. When our country was new and vast stretches of it were inaccessible because of the difficulty, danger and delay in transportation, small wonder that the United States government was glad to grant rights of way and many privileges to the groups of capitalists who were willing to finance and superintend the building of railroads. And these men, in many cases, were honestly desirous of helping to open up the resources of our country—just as many a bucanccr had an honest purpose of assisting his country in her wars when he first embarked on the venture—and it was only after a while that these pioneers and buccaneers degenerated into pirates who, because of their exploitation of the powers bestowed upon them, be.ame a menace to their country and to their fellows. 1 he temptations to the pirates of the olden day were unusually strong. Immense quantities of gold and silver were carried across the Atlantic, to say nothing of other articles of value. And equally strong have been the temptations which beset the pirates of our modern day. The vast wealth of our land has spread itself alluringly on every hand. One monster (called Olonnois) stands out strikingly in the accounts of buccaneering. It is said of him Page One Hundred Twenty-six The Centralian PIRACY—PAST AND PRESENT.—Continued. that, having hoarded a ship loaded with precious cargo, he beheaded the entire crew of the vessel, hour cases are on record in which he threw the whole crew overboard. But he was soon after paid in his own coin. He fell into the hands of a party of hungry Indians, who cooked and ate him. It was not so long ago that a certain wheat king manipulated our market in a manner which crushed the life from thousands of small investors, only to be himself driven to the wall by a clique of large investors who beat him at his own game. Many instances may be cited where the vultures of the sea captured whole towns, carrying away everything of value which could be transported, and burning the town to the ground. '1 his made many towns prefer to make terms with the buccaneers. And so in our own day! Has not a detailed account (printed in a series of volumes) been given us, expos.ng the methods used by a certain firm to gain control of the businesses of small competitors? When a small concern refused to make terms with this master corporation, prices were manipulated in such a manner that the struggling business could not withstand the pressure which was brought to bear, and it was wiped out of existence. Other independent concerns, when approached by this powerful syndicate, were willing and anxious to come to terms rather than suffer the misfortunes of these others. Thus we see that the deeds and exploits of the former pirates are similar to the transactions of “Big Business” today. However, the old-time robbers practiced their villainy only on the rich, while in our day the poor are the ones who must suffer. Since the great war. speculators have not been slow to realize the opportunity for speculating in various articles of food, coal, and all the necessities of everyday life. The result is that prices are unnecessarily high and constantly rising. It is a severe struggle for the ordinary man to provide his family with the necessities of life. And yet it is said that our country is at the present time in a more prosperous condition than at any other time in her history! Ruskin says: “I hat country is the richest which possesses the greatest number of noble and independent human beings. Measuring by that standard, can we really consider our country in a prosperous condition? We must rid ourselves of the pirates who are robbing us of our industrial democracy, and find a system which will control their activities. Should not the lives of the many who suffer from malnutrition because the price of foodstuffs is prohibitive, be charged to the account of those who have manipulated the markets? Are not those men as guilty as the cruel buccaneers who slaughtered their victims? Indirectly, they are. And The Centrallan Paqe One Hundred Twenty-seven PIRACY—PAST AND PRESENT.—Concluded. in this connection we call to mind, too, how many there have been among the men whose small businesses have been wrecked by big syndicates, who have been crushed by their failure, and, in their despondency, have taken their own lives. But present conditions cannot continue. The sons and daughters of the big financiers are more and more coming to sec dearly conditions as they exist, and to consider them from an impartial and unprejudiced viewpoint, kven some of our capitalists themselves are showing a human side and interesting themselves in philanthropic work and social service. In recent years a young man has inherited from his father vast wealth which was accumulated in the liquor business. The bulk of this fortune consisted of business buildings on various corners in one of our large cities, and all of these buildings yielded a large income, because they were leased to saloon-keepers and occupied by saloons. As promptly as these leases expired, the young man refused to renew them, and now they have all been ridded of tile most horrible form of piracy extant today, and the buildings are occupied bv men who are running stores that furnish useful articles to the communities in which they arc located. To be sure, the income is appreciably less, but this young man seems content that it should be so. As the laxity of international usage gave way to systematic patrolling of the seas by duly authorized navies of the various countries, and it became more and more difficult for the buccaneers to per-lorm their deeds of cruelty and carry off rich prizes; so, too, as our government sees more and more clearly the necessity for federal regulation of private business, will the pirates of our own day find exploitation of the great masses of people an impossibility, and no longer will the few become rich at the expense of the many. Rut as is the case with all changes which are enduring, this cannot be brought about by any sudden uprising of the people, which would throw the business world out of balance. Just as in the case of the piracy of the past, the piracy of the present must be brought to an end by evolution rather than by revolution.

The play, Secret Service.” was a grippingly dramatic story of life in Richmond during the period when it was besieged bv the Union forces The play required elaborate stage effects, which difficulty the directors overcame in a very creditable manner. It was “chuck full” of excitement, both for the audience and the cast. Neither knew what was to happen next. It not only brought down the roof, but nearly tipped over the walls as well, when in the thud act the door would not fall when it was supposed to. The cast was unusually large, numbering nearly forty people. The costuming was elaborate and historically correct, although in that it had the advantage of the fit. as far as the soldiers’ uniforms were concerned. The leads were taken by Harold Roberts, Emma Jean McCune, Ellen Coyne, Robert Abernathy and 1 lenry Casper, while Elizabeth Alexander played a secondary part in a first-class manner The proceeds of the play (about $300) went to purchase the new moving picture machine which has just been installed m our assembly hall.

MILT” A tRniirut of tin' laakrt tBall graamt This year, the fiftieth anniversary of Central High School, has indeed been well celebrated as far as athletics are concerned. Central began the basket ball season with but two men of last year’s team back—Singer and Sanders. Singer was rated as the best basket “shooter” in the league last year, while Sanders was said to be one of the strongest contenders for the guarding position. With these two men a team was to be built. Coach Young had made evor-victorious teams for two consecutive years before, so, with two experienced players, he set about to develop another equally as good for this year. First, the class teams were organized, and after an interesting and hard fought series a squad was chosen, consisting of about sixteen men. Practice finally decided that Duvall, Williams and Ramsay were best fitted to fill the vacancies made by last year’s graduates. The first test of our team came on Alumni Day, when former “stars” of Central, who are now “stars” in college, were easily defeated. True to form, when we met Manual for the first game of the series, victory was ours. The game was far from a walkaway, and served to release some of the over-confidence which might have lurked in some of the Ccntralitcs. Westport was the next victim, and Northeast fell an easy prey before the now justly feared quintet of Central. For nine games we remained supreme, our throne tottering sev- Page One Hundred Thlrty-stx The Centrallan REVIEW OF BASKET BALL SEASON.—Concluded. cral times, but never falling. The last game marked the twenty-sixth consecutive victory for the Blue and White—a record which the Kansas City High Schools will probably never equal. A short time after the series closed, Coach Young was invited to send a team to compete in the All-State tournament at Columbia, which he did. Burk took the place of Ramsay, who was unable to make the trip on account of other school activities. The tournament was won more easily than was expected. All of the teams entered were winners of champion dlips in their congressional district, but all were but play for the Kansas City champions. Milton Singer, captain this year, and a member of an ever-victorious team for three years, was awarded the captaincy of the All-Stars by a unanimous vote of all the judges. Basket ball followers say he is one of the best, if not the best, basket ball player ever graduated from the Kansas City High Schools. He holds the record for goals in a game, as well as for the season. Duvall, the only member of the team who will be back next year, was the running mate of Singer. He proved to be an excellent point maker as well as a floor man. Duvall was awarded the captaincy of the second All-Star team. George Williams, the lanky center, played well at his position and was next to Singer in the number of points made. George won the position of center on the second All-Star team. Bob Sanders, a guard for two years on cver-victorious teams, won one of the guarding positions on the All-Star team. Bob was always in the fight and played an untiring game on the floor. Ray Ramsay, a guard, won a guarding position on the second All-Star team. Ray played a clean game and was always there with the “pep.” THE SUMMARY. CENTRAL— Fr. Ft. Tf. Pf.

Mr. Cook, our new track coach, caught the enthusiasm as soon as he arrived, and began to make things hum. Several clas meets were held in the gym. and when the weather would permit, out on the track. The K. C. A. C. meet, which was held in Convention Hall, was the first meet between the High Schools. It was ours from the start, and the final score stood: Central, 24; Manual, 15: Westport, 10, Northeast, 9. Baum and Carlson took first and second in the 50-yard. I he 4:40 came next, in which Briscoe got second. Mueller won third place in the half, after which came the relays. I he four peerless freshmen—Cross, Quinn, Henry and Lott—easily won the four-lap relay. 1 he 10-lap relay also was won by Central. Coodell, Crouch. Silcott and Baum ran in the order named. The Missouri-Kansas indoor was won in about the same way as the K. C. A. C. meet the week before. Again Baum and Carlson won first and second in the half. I lie four-lap relay was won as easily as in the K. C. A. C. but second place was recorded in the 10-lap relay. The Centrallan Paqe One Hundred Thirty-nine A REVIEW OF THE TRACK SEASON—Concluded. On May 5 Central representatives again invaded Columbia, but this time with a track team instead of a basket ball team. Though they were not quite so successful as their fellow warriors of the nrst campaign, yet they made a fine showing. Captain Williams was the “star” for Central, winning the high jump and getting second in the high and low hurdles. Baum also did well, getting two seconds, one in the 4:40 and the other in the 100-yard dash. Rcber won first in the shot put, with Born-stem third. Hunt ran a great race in the half, barely being nosed out of first place. Goodcll won third and fourth in the high jump and broad jump, respectively. Crouch won a point in the 220-yard dash, as did Lewis in the pole vault. A week later the quadrangular meet was held on the Central track. The meet was Central's till the next to the last event on the program, when the class A relay team was disqualified for “cutting in after having crossed the finish line first. I lie K. I . invitation meet closed the track season in Central in a very satisfactorv manner. It is always considered to be one of the fastest meets for high school teams in the immediate part of the val-le . and to win with a score nearly double that of the school taking second place, against such strong competition is something to be proud of. Out of thirteen events Central’s representatives placed in all but three.

Nearly every year the number of students taking part grows larger and this year was no exception. Shortly after school began Manager Hornaday started a tournament which George Williams won, and in which Merrill Dubach was runner-up. This served to bring out manv fellows who otherwise would not have tried out in the final tournament. As was stated above, a large number of tennis aspirants entered the spring tournament, making it a long drawn out affair, especially in the singles. But finally Merrill Dubach. Eugene Smith. Bruce Wright and Ernest Primm succeeded in reaching the semi-finals. Dubach and Primm each won his semifinal match putting them in the finals. In the doubles the Williams-Dubach team and the Wriglit-Ger-son combination fought their way into the finals. The finals in both singles and doubles have not yet been played. The .annual Inter-scholastic Tennis Tournament at Lawrence was held while the track team was in Columbia. In the singles Gerson and Dubach succeeded in defeating their opponents of the first round but were both put out in the second. Central fared much better in the doubles, both teams reaching the semi-finals. Gerson and Dubach formed one of the teams while Dungan and Wright were the other Blue and White representatives. An Inter-scholastic Tournament was held on the Rockhill courts, but the final results were received too late to be printed. The entrants front Central were those who reached the finals in the preliminary contest. At the time this article was written the first round had been played and the results were very satisfactory to Central. In the boys’ single. Dubach and Primm both defeated their opponents, 6-2. 6-1; and 6-3, 9. -5 respectively. Also, in the boys’ doubles. Williams and Dubach defeated a Northeast team, while Gcr.'on and Wright defeated two other Purple and White representatives. The scores were 6-2, 6-0; and 6-4. 6-8. 7-5, respectively. The girls fared nearly as well. In the singles. Marie Cahill defeated a Westport girl by a score of 6-2. 7-5. Martha McLendon won over a Northeast representative. 8-6. 6-3. Florence F.iche and Phyllis Waterman defeated a Manual team. 4-6. 6-1. 6-1. Our other team. Lo-retto Brookover and Kathryn Kohl, were defeated after a hard fought match by a score of 3-6, 6-8.

The cadet corps being organized so late in the year, caused many of the fellows to hesitate about joining. Imt in spite of this fact, two companies of more than fifty each enrolled for training. Sergeant Weeks is the instructor in drill and conference period in Central, while Sergeant Shirlo holds a similar position at other schools. Lieutenant Baird, who has charge of military training of the city, conducts the officers’ training class. The lieutenant has a nation-wide reputation for his ability to organize and train military classes. Sergeant Weeks and Sergeant Shirlo are two of thirteen sergeants chosen from the United States Army to teach things military” throughout the country. About March 15 our uniforms were delivered, and about May 1 the guns finally were issued. The guns now used in practice are the Krag-Jorgenson, which were used by the United States Army in the Spanish-American war. Aside from the regular drill and conference period, hikes and shows arc given, which increase the interest of the cadets through competition. The first cadet show was given in the Central gym. The companies having been divided into wall-scaling squads, a wall-scaling contest was held, the three winning squads of which were to represent Central in the final inter-scohlastic wall-scaling contest. On the first hike of the season the Battle of Leeds” took place, in which the cadets won a decisive victory over the business men’s corps. All the hikes were interesting as well as instructive, and were made in regular army formation. That is, with an advance and rear guard, points, scouts, map makers and other divisions. Next year, in all probability, will see double the number of students enrolled for training. Also new activities will be introduced, including target shooting. The general opinion of every cadet is that the training is more than worth the time and money put into it. It is proposed to have a camp this summer somewhere in the vicinity of Kansas City where the cadets will camp in rotation, about fifty at a time. Practice marches will be made and war games will be carried on on the ground instead of paper, and the soldiers will be cadets instead of pins. In addition to this such a camp will give the cadets a taste of camp life and discipline they cannot hope to gain save by actual experience. The benefit they would derive from a week or two of camp life such as this can scarcely be overestimated either from a physical or a military standpoint, and it is certainly to be hoped that arrangements for such a camp can be successfully made.

Camp Fire Scene—Based on a historical incident of the Civil War. Field Hospital Scene by the Red Cross Girls. Competition Drill. Wall Scaling Competition. The largest crowd ever assembled at Central was present when, at eight-twenty, the Cadets entered the drill grounds and began the grand march which ushered in the first cadet tournament ever held in Kansas City. It has been estimated that five thousand people were in attendance, and. since they overflowed the seats provided. and had to sit on the terrace wall, we have every reason to believe the estimate correct. After inspection, followed the impressive ceremony of the presentation of the colors by Judge William T. Bland to Miss Emma Jagusch. representing the Cadet Corps. Then the troops passed in review and left the drill grounds ; but almost immediately reappeared to take part in the campfire scene. They sang numerous good old songs, but many of them thought Massa’s in (or on) the Cold Cold Ground would have been more appropriate. The Centralian Page One Hundred Fifty-five CADET TOURNAMENT.—Concluded. After singing the songs the cadets dozed off to sleep and as they slept a series of white figures passed over the field, looking in the semi-darkness like the ghosts of the departed, flitting about the camp. Suddenly came the sound of firing to the east. A bugle sounded alarm. The cadets awoke, seized their guns from the stacks, and left the field in double time.” The sounds of battle continued for perhaps five minutes, when the Red Cross Corps, having completed the field hospital, the wounded were carried in and the girls gave as neat an exhibition of bandaging as has ever been seen.

Next followed the competition drill, the cadets entering the field in column of squads. One company after the other entered, executed column right” and then squads left and marched up the field in company front. At the end of the fieid the command was “right by squads and the companies marched out again in column of squads. This was repeated three times, but the third time” was no charm for us, for when the decision was rendered, the first honors were carried off by Company C of Westport, while Westport’s Red Cross Corps won in the Red Cross division. The order of march was: After the competition drill, the wall scaling contest took place. Once again luck was against us. Central had three entrants, only one of whom, the third squad of Company A. qualified for the finals. In the semi-finals this squad set a new city record of 6.2 seconds. In the iinals they tied with Westport’s entrant for first place with a time of 6.3 seconds. But when the tie was run of , there was a slip, and they were one-fifth of a second behind Westport’s squad, finishing in 7 seconds flat.

In fact, it was so popular, so many were the applications tor membership, that in view of the limited facilities for instruction, it was found necessary to limit the membership to senior girls. I he girls were organized into two divisions—A and B. Kach division numbered nineteen girls, who, with their adviser, constitute a complete unit. Instruction was given in the elements of first aid, detection of wounds, bandaging and care of the injured. The proficiency attained by the girls in this work can well be judged by the dexterity with which they handled tin wounded in the two cadet shows. Jhe Red Cross girls did not. however, put in all their time in the study of the care of the injured. kver Wednesday afternoon they were to be seen drilling on the parade ground under the direction of a cadet officer, or of one of their own leaders. Their progress in this department of their work has been little short of remarkable. In spite of the fact that they have had but about one-half as much training as the boys in this particular, many of the spectators thought that their drilling on May 26 was as good, if not better, than the boys. I lie two physical directors. Miss Weatherhogg and Miss Scott, were chosen by the girls as their advisers. and as such, both of these instructors are to be congratulated on the showing made by their future Red Cross nurses. Considering the progress made this year as a fair example of what will be done by next year’s class, it seems likely that with a full year’s training instead of a short five months, they will attain a degree of perfection which will give Central every reason to be doubly proud of her Red Cross Corps.

We go about all week eyeing each other with tearful eye and vacant stare—“Exams.” The next Monday there is no program. Mr. Holmes announces that the occasion is too solemn for frivolity.

The next Monday the boys are cruelly carried off to the gym and the girls left in assembly, but the boys are brought back and we all go through the printing press.
