HARRIS Sergeant-at-Arms The Centralian Page Slxty-flve I SOPHOMORES Despite all the trials and tribulations” of the past season, the Sophomores have striven faithfully to make this as successful a year as any in the history of Central High School. Handicapped by the fact that, as Freshmen, they were the first to be affected by the double session plan, thus causing them to be regarded as the Freshmen of the morning session, they entered into the activities of the school with such zeal and vigor, and displayed such pep and intelligence that the astounded Juniors and Seniors were forced to admit them into the realms of the upper classmen. In surveying the work of the Sophomore Class, wc must first consider their work in the class room. Although more seriously affected by the enforced vacation than any other class, they have accomplished some really creditable work this year; and, in the words of a Sophomore teacher. “They’re a dandy bunch of scholars.” Now, let us consider their interest in outside affairs, as represented by their participation in such activities as basketball, track, clubs, and the like. Five Sophomore boys landed places on the basketball squad, while many were selected for the football team. In track, the Sophomores were a strong second in the Interclass track meet, and collected some 50 points in the quadrangular meet. The class has a “C” man in tennis and was well represented in both the singles and doubles tournament this year. But we mustn’t forget the girls. Their Sophomore basketball team won the championship of the girls’ classes after a close contest, and five Sophomore girls arc wearing the athletic “C”. The Sophomores are also well represented in the clubs and societies, a few taking an especially active part, one winning a gold and another a silver medal in the Intersociety contest of this year. You might gather from the above that the Sophomores are so many angels, even outshining the celebrated Senior Class, but such is not the case. 'They are only a bunch of unsophisticated humans, with possibly a shade more intelligence than the ordinary run. There are even some heathens among them, however, who even lack this shade of intelligence. Anyone who would persist in believing himself a mural decorator after repeated assertations by Prof. Holmes to the contrary, is only superceded by his classmate who constantly tempts his peers (the Seniors) with the abundance of gum he leaves sticking around in such conspicuous places. Despite all that has been said of the Sophomores, Central is proud of the Class of ’21, and so here’s wishing them a most successful finish to their course in Central High School. Page Slxty-alx The Centrallan FRESHMEN According to most of our class, Freshmen activities this year have consisted chiefly of algebra spread about in large quantities. But if the upper classmen think that they are the only ones who have school spirit, they are sadly mistaken. At the football games, the Freshmen were well represented; and, when “Cupid” Cole (we have learned his nick-name) dashed (?) fifty yards for a touchdown, we almost split our poor green throats. When basketball loomed up, we formed a team that gave the upper classmen a stiff fight. If some members keep up the good work, they will make the first team next year and settle with Westport. In track tryouts several upperclassmen were defeated by the Freshmen in C and D events. The boys flew so fast in the sprints that watchers were nearly blinded by cinders. In the pole-vault they hoisted the bar so high that the coach called it a draw, saying that he didn’t want the boys jumping over the moon. On the night of May 23 all the girls’ gym classes gave exhibitions, in which the Freshmen took an important part. One class demonstrated to the ignorant how to do the “Dance of the Seven Jumps. and another how to play captain ball. The Freshmen girls also had a basketball team. We were defeated by the Sophomores and Seniors, but we just swallowed hard and grinned. Our time will come some day. The morning students have their Glee and Choral Club; but. if you want to hear real music, you ought to visit the Freshmen Choral Club. Together with our Orchestra, we gave a program oiu Monday afternoon and established such a reputation that some of the numbers were repeated before the next morning assembly. Speaking of Assembly Hall programs, the Freshmen Expression Classes put on a play May 19—“The Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil.” by Stuart Walker. Although the juggler didn’t juggle, and the blind man wasn’t really blind, and the queen never was a queen, we really think it was better than the society plays. And, as for “Sir Little Boy,” Martin Fisher, we have heard that some of the Senior little girls positively fell in love with him. So now, although we stumble up the steps once in a while and occasionally spill our books and lose our hats, you see that we are not so dreadfully stupid after all. Everybody, all together, for the “Class of '22 Fifteen rahs. The Centralism Page Sixty-seven CLASS OF '2 3 The Sub-Freshmen are beginning to realize what an advantage it has been to spend their last ward school year at Central. The first big advantage was that they were taught by teachers who were specialists in particular lines of school work. Thus the Sub-Freshmen have received much better instruction than if one teacher had attempted to divide her time and interest between arithmetic, spelling, grammar, music, calesthenics, and geography. The second advantage, whose benefits which the Sub-Freshmen were allowed to reap, was the assembly hall programs. This kind of weekly entertainment was new to them ; and. just as the upper classmen look forward to Monday morning as a time of short hours and shorter lessons, so have the Sub-Freshmen looked forward to Monday afternoon as a time to be entertained by their upper classmen. The seventh graders who spent their last year at Central will be much better critics of plays, musical programs, and speeches next year than will the Freshmen who drift in from the ward schools. One ambitious little Sub is authority for the following statement: “I wen though we enjoy the assembly programs, they are not half so good as they will be when we get to take part in them.” (Good society material for 1920.) The third advantage to which the fortunate Sub-Freshmen of Central have been exposed during the past year is the use of the swimming pool and gymnasium. While the interscholastic basketball games were going on. the Sub-Freshmen were forced to use the lunch room instead of the gym: but. for the last three months, they have had the exclusive use of the apparatus and track in the gymnasium. Sub-1 reshmen. the upper classmen envy you, because you can enjoy four more years as a true patriot of the best school in the world. When you take your stand as Freshmen and Sophomores in this wonderful institution, do not forget that the thousands who have gone before you have built a great, unparalleled. fifty-two year record for “Dear Old Central.” As the Seniors of 19 go into college and business life, they throw the torch” to you and beg that you may “hold it high” and in your turn may form a link in the chain of prosperity which has followed Central for so many years. Page Sixty-eight The Centralian SiaVlNTU 2Gtli Annual (Christmas Plait Ihc Man Who Stayed at Home,” Central’s 26:h annual Christmas play, was Christmas only in name tins year tor it was given on the 17th and 18th of January. However, it did not suffer from the postponement as it was judged to be one of the cleverest and most smoothly produced plays that we have enjoyed in recent years. 1 he part of Christopher Brent, the spy. disguise I as “The Man Who Stayed at Home.” was played by 'rank Smith. It was Frank’s first appearance in a big play, a fact true of the whole cast, but he played a part that called for much delicate shading and ingenious acting in a way that showed the versatility of an actor much older in experience than Frank. The character of Molly Preston, “The Man’s” little English sweetheart, was played by Bertha Johnstone, who showed us the part with the sweet simplicity and comprehension demanded of a heroine who is feminine and pretty as well as intelligent. The third principal of the play was Frances Wells, who portrayed the part of Miriam Leigh, the stunning adventuress and co-star with Brent. Frances’ beautiful melodious voice, and her subtle acting brought thrills to the audience more than once, while her wonderful looking clothes and her own charming appearance and personality brought flutters to many a masculine heart out in front. Comedy parts in the play were taken by John Bacon as John Preston, and Laura Frances Cottinghani as Miss Myrtle. I hey played the parts of the typical crotchety widower and fussy old maid at s seaside boarding-house in such a way as to bring many laughs from the audience. Lester Pennington as Fritz, the butler, also played a comedy part with much success. Bernice Lynn. Paul Wiegand. and Mildred Odell, as Mrs. Sanderson, the German spy; her son, Carl; and hraulein Schrocder. her associate, played their Teutonic parts so well that the audience soon heartily despised them. J I crci al I ennicuik was played by Harry ollrath in the very hearty and convincing wav that the part of the enthusiastic young recruit demanded. The small part of the silly Daphne Kidlington was played very successfully by Miss Thelma Gilrov. Kenneth Gardner as Corporal Atkins ordered his men, parts played by Merrill Dubach and Harry Ferguson, in a quite soldierly manner. Miss F.pton was assisted by a large cast besides this one. not the less useful because they did not appear on the stage. Russel Mason was stage electrician. Thelma Smith and Catherine Spencer had charge of the make-up box. Emily Spencer managed the costumes. Kenneth Gardner was assisted by Harry Clarke as stage manager. Louis Reeves made the posters for the advertising. lo Miss Lpton all congratulations are due for producing a play that out-did “Secret Service.” In the good management and well-trained acting of the cast in The Man Who Staved at Home.” Miss Fpton surpassed herself and all former triumphs.

It was a cold dark night. Out across No Man’s Land the machine guns were popping, and sending forth their deadly rain of lead. In the distance could be heard the dull roar of the Artillery. As each shell, burst, a quick gleam of light filled the blackness of night. A sharp command, “It’s over the top tonight, boys,” and out over that tangled mass of barbed wire and blackness leaped the 314th Infantry. The sky fairly rained shrapnel and one after another the boys in khaki fell; but the little flag bearer of the regiment stumbled on. holding his bit of red, white, and blue high in the air. His comrade next him fell; and he muttered, “Poor Joe, they’ve got you; goodbye,” and rushed on. Paster and faster came the pop, pop of the machine guns; faster and faster he stumbled on, but finally a bit of shrapnel hit him in the chest. Down on his knees he fell, still holding the flag proudly, not for a moment letting it touch the ground. With his last breath, he called, “The Flag, my God, the Flag; carry it ON!” That night the flag had three bearers ere it reached the enemy trench, but not once did its silken folds touch the ground. It was CARRIED ON. Not three, but millions of our boys carried the flag on, and fifty-nine thousand of them paid the supreme sacrifice, that Old Glory might wave forever o’er the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” For two years the bluest bloods of America have been fighting the fight of Democracy. They have been carrying the Red. White, and Blue across the battlefields of Europe, its colors often bathed in the blood of human sacrifice, that the spirit of Democracy might permeate the whole world. The mangled masses of America’s manhood now lie beside those of the French and Belgians and English, on the devastated plains of Alsace and Lorraine,-------there, because they believed that Right should triumph over Might, and this battle-torn world should be healed in the blood of sacrifice. But wars are not ended when cannons cease to throw’ out their balls of death, or wrhen the last tired prisoner is taken across the enemy lines, or even yet, when the White. Flag floats high o’er the enemy’s The Centrallan Page One Hundred Thirteen trench. I or only half the battle has then been won. The aftermath of war is the fight of the folks at home to “carry on” the work that the boys over there started. America faces even greater problems today than she did two years ago. when she hurled her manpower into the scales of war. The great question confronting her today is: Will the “Ship of State” be able to sail safely between the ‘Scylla of Labor” and the “Charybdis of Capital” out into the sea of national understanding, contentment, and prosperity? It is just as necessary to answer the call to the colors today as it was in 1917 when war was declared. 1 hen. the boys in khaki and the boys in blue hurled the balls of Democracy straight at the heart of Kaiserism. Today, you and 1 must hurl the balls of good citizenship straight at the heart of poverty, misunderstanding, and discontent. if we are to “carry on the fight that the boys over there made for Democracy, we must wipe out the evils of our social system. We must purge ourselves of faction and division, be purified of errant humors of party and private interest, and stand forth in the days to come with new dignity of National pride and spirit. Io do this, we must stand shoulder to shoulder as the old Spartans did and take their pledge. 1 pledge that I will never desert my co-voter at the polls; I pledge that I will play square for mv country: I pledge that I will transmit the freedom and democracy of America unmarred and even greater than it was transmitted to me. lhen America will not need to fear the seeds of Bolshevism, which have taken root throughout the world today for she will then stand as she has always stood, an outward expression of true Democracy. 1 hen, hen the annals of history arc read, America will be known in the councils of the world as a nation which loves Liberty, Justice, and Right Exalted. Then, and then only, will America redeem the sacrifice of those titty-nine thousand above whose heads stand the little white crosses in far awav bister France. Oh, America, the blood of all thy sons Cries out today from fair and glorious deeds; And spirit legions of immortal ones Who died to save their country and its needs. Pledge thee, anew, by their white honor role To loftier issues, born of sacrifice; Bidding thee keep unstained, that nobler soul. Which they have ransomed with so great a price.

Cities have been preached against since Jonah went to Nineveh and cities have perished, even as Nineveh, yet the assembling of gregarious men increases. The instinct is as old as man himself and will continue to exist as long as he inhabits the earth. We should yet be steeped in savagery had we always lived independently, heedless of the existence of others. Modem refinement has come only through man’s gregarious disposition. In the progression of civilization there is first, the barbarous state, in which roots and fruits and such fish as can easily be caught are eaten. The barbarian then becomes a hunter, desiring a better and more varied diet, and third, a shepherd, to avoid the uncertainty of hunt ng. After insuring his meat supply, he turns, fourth, to the agricultural stage. He might come thus far in his development, though it is doubtful, without being a social creature; but he would yet be far from achieving refinement. To make the final step to manufactures and commerce, he must be gregarious. It is only the extensive gathering of people that has produced the ponderous industry of today, criss-crossed the continents with railroads, and marked the oceans with a million steamship lines. No populous district can produce all it consumes; and so commerce is a necessary result of city building. Tyre and Sidon were the primitive seats of commerce in the old world. The Scriptures speak of Tyre as “the crowning city whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers arc the honourable of the earth.” The Greeks and Romans learned much fro.n the Phoenicians, and only through their tendency to mingle with other peoples was this diffusion of knowledge made possible. We owe our very alphabet itself to them, for the Roman letters are but modifications of the Greek and they in turn of the Phoenician. To the normal man a life of solitude would be torture; and from the time “When Adam delved and Eve span” human nature has been the same. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, languages have been formed and forgotten; but love, patriotism, sociability, and sorrow are the same in all ages and climes. As the most useful birds do not fly singly, so the man of sociability is of more value to humanity than the hermit. Shakespeare, whose mind the quiet Stratford cramped, went to London that he might have Pag On Hundred Sixteen The Centrallan a larger field for his activities; and he enriched literature with his productions. The hermit, whose name is quite forgotten, separated himself from the world, thinking to avoid corrupting his own good morals; and he did nothing to help the race. Mankind, however, has mixed the blessings of social life with the curse of profligacy. Man’s assembling together develops government, education, and religion ; his sin brings war, famine, and pestilence. There could be no government without social life. A youth excluded from all products of civilization on a lone island would certainly produce none, for it would be useless; there would be no one’s property to trespass upon, nor goods to steal or covet, and no man to kill. As the centers of population are the stronghold of crime, it is especially necessary to have strong government there. The law formerly tried to drive men from wrong by fear of punishment; in late years an appeal to the convict’s better nature has baen tried to arouse in him a desire for a better life. As with government, so it is with education; society helps them both. The public school system reaches its highest development in cities, owing to their ability to obtain better equipment. Again, there are many things one might never learn were it not for the public library which one’s town maintains. There the world’s greatest men congregate; and a person may thus learn from the most famous contemporary orators, musicians, statesmen, generals, and lecturers. Life in the city is an education. The city permits one to exert a tremendous influence, good or bad. for one comes in touch with countless people. Nevertheless, there may be some to whom opportunity for becoming influential does not present itself. There is a Latin adage, “Magna civitas, magna solitudo,” “A great city is a great solitude.” and there is something of truth in it. A man may feel in the city as if he were lost in a desert. Bacon says a crowd may not be company nor faces more than a gallery of pictures; but continued residence in the city would probably lead one in the end to adapt himself to conditions and give one extensive influence. Sociability co-operates with religion, too. for it is the only means of religious growth. In great cities men’s interests interfere and they are often moved to injure one another for selfish gain; but man could not be good if it were not possible for him to be evil. It is only through resisting evil that he effects growth in virtue; and so temptation may become a means of strength. God’s plan in making us socially inclined was for us to re-enforce one another, help the weak, give to the poor, comfort the disconsolate, The Centralian Paoe One Hundred Seventeen save the fallen, and develop civilization and its arts. Man is not an independent being: if he hurts himself, he hurts every creature: if he harms the race, he suffers with it. Although our coming together into great social bodies unequivocally furthers the perfection of government. education, and religion, yet the city is the nucleus of sin. An object of much arraignment, especially in recent years, has been the liquor business, which flourishes in all large cities. It is a grave mistake for any government to give license to a business that takes a man and makes of him a pauper and a brute. What the people are. that will the nation be. If the people are wrecked, the nation is doomed. Only a casual glance at life in most of our cities would suffice to show the need of reform. One of the things to be most deplored is the corruption of politics so rife in this country. Some politicians practice buying votes, bribing, and making men repeaters, often causing more ballots to be cast than there are voters in the district. Crowded populations also bring the scourges of war. famine, and pestilence. There have ever been arguments and discords. Some people are prone to strife, and it is axiomatic that aggregations of individuals may be the same. In all wars, international or civil, the object of each belligerent is to destroy the power of the other. Nothing is weaker than a body divided against itself, even if this be the entire civilized world : nothing is more impregnable than “one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” hollowing in the wake of war is a vast train of evil;—desolation, sorrow, starvation, disease, anarchy, and crime. Sapping the vitality of nations as it does, war renders them liable to the ravages of other evils, just as a weakened body is an apt prey for disease. The shortage of men and the turning of energy into other channels caused by war hinder the prosecution of nearly all civil occupations and deplete the power of the homeland. This old earth has been the scene of many fa nines. Their frequency depends upon the density of population, the degree of civilization and the climate. They may also be caused by sieges and other military operations; but. as the influence of civilization becomes more widespread and commerce more international, famines will be rare. 1 he question of public health has only recently come into prominence. In olden times epidemics swept over nations and continents unchecked. Most of'them had their origin in China, where the population was dense and the secrets of health unknown. The people herded together in poorly lighted and ventilated houses overlooking narrow, filthy streets where lurked extreme danger of pestilence. Thus, although the evils growing out of the assembling of man in large communities are many and great, the benefits so vastly outweigh them that large cities must be regarded as blessings; and. as abuse often turns other blessings into curses, so here it may, also. The remedy, as always, must come through suitable and rigid control. Page One Hudnred Eighteen The Centralian iTljf Bixth FRANCES FUNG. Gold Medal Inter-Society Contest. ’19. Spring is the ideal setting for a hero’s triumphal homeward march. Mr. Smithson Crawford, late Corporal Smithson Crawford of the 315th Colored Ambulance Corps, was a hero from the front line trenches; and it was in the late springtime that he made his triumphal march down his old home street, followed by the admiring gazes of all who beheld him. and the enthusiastic salutations of the privileged few who had known him before his adventures abroad. Arrived at his destination, he was received with surprised and unrestrained delight into the bosom of an adoring family. After several days of celebration during which time Smithson, or “Spiff” as he had been called before he had displayed to the world his military prowess, and as some of his old cronies of lesser fame were presuming to call him again, had reigned supreme, Mrs. Lily Crawford, his mother, began to think it was time he was mentioning finding something to do. She and the younger children had not had an easy time during Spiff’s absence. So one morning Mrs. Lily announced to Spiff with what was intended to be infectious joy, that his old boss had told her he might have his former position of janitor back again on arrival home. But Spiff wasn’t at all infected by her joy. for he said. “Why. Mom. dis yere nigger’s done seen too much to take any old janitor job. 1’sc got mah plans all made out. Ah ain’t-a gwine ter fool no moah time away that way. Ah’s gwine ter find out right away how ter get rich quick. All’s gwine ter ’suit a spirchalist.” “Smithson, yuh wouldn’t really!” “That’s just wot 1 be gwine ter do. Mom.” Spiff hadn't really considered consulting a clairvoyant; but. having produced a very desirable effect by his portentous words, he felt the necessity of living up to them. So he began looking around with this in view, though he was secretly a little frightened at his own boldness. About a week later he came across a sign hanging from a rickety old house in a dirty little back The Centrallan Page One Hundred Nineteen street which seemed to promise about everything he was looking for at a moderate price. After some deliberation he went in. About two hours later, he burst into the kitchen of his home, his eyes dilated with excitement. His mother had been patiently running an iron back and forth over a glossy starched surface, but at Spiff’s entrance she stopped her work to see what was the cause of such agitation on the part of her offspring. She did not have long to wait, for he soon unburdened his heart. “Mom, ah done seen dat spirchalist this aft’noon, an’ guess wot dat woman told dis nigger. Didn’t ah tell yuh ah was meant to be rich? Well, shoah nuff, she done told me all ’bout mahself. She tole me dat i was a soger and she seed great wealth cornin’ mail way. ’N den ah ast her how ah cud meet it. ’n she said dat ah was gwine to be offered a job as taxi-driver soon ’n dat ah should take it. ’N den she said dat she could sec dat ah ought to be wealthy. She said dat ah had been left some lands in western Kansas ’n dat dere was a man sent here ter giv ’em to me, but he was trying to sell ’em, instead.” Mrs. Lily was sure Spiff’s father had never mentioned such a thing, but Spiff went on with his tale. “Well, she said dat dis same man would get into my taxi, ’n dat if ah could git ’im arrested ah could probably get some of our money back. She said dat he’d be a tall, dark man an’ be wearing a dark green suit, a black hat and a blue necktie, an’ foh me to watch out ’cause he was dangerous.” Mrs. Lily had been thinking a little bitterly during the afternoon that there seemed little chance of her getting much help from Spiff. Hut now she was caught up in the whirlwind of his enthusiasm and without hesitation applied rose-colored glasses to the future. But the days passed and though Spiff lingered around taxi agencies, he was not offered a position. Finally, he conceived the idea of asking at the different agencies for a position as chauffeur. The thought was soon put into action with the result that the next day after his request saw him enthroned on the driver’s seat of a taxi. He now felt himself greatly elevated, mentally as well as physically, and began to be on the lookout for the man of the green suit. Hut again the days passed by with no hint of his journey’s end for him. He came across many men who partially filled his description, but there was always some detail wrong. Then, too. he stared at each of his passengers so intently that many of them resented it. In fact, there had been several complaints turned in against him. Besides, his dignity was often sadly bruised by his being termed “impertinent,” a “bold rascal,” and many similar things. Page One Hundred Twenty The Centrallan These charges kept his imagination busy editing plausible excuses. His favorite was that his eyes had been injured in a German gas attack, which caused them to seem very large and staring at times, but that he really meant no harm and certainly “begged the gem’mun’s pardon.” This excuse never failed and had another attractive feature in that it always elicited sympathy and favor from his audience. So. though there were some complaints turned in against him, still there were a sufficient number of special demands for his services to balance them. But though Spiff enjoyed his job. he was beginning to have his doubts about the entire truth of the clairvoyant’s tale and was getting impatient for the approach of the holder of his wealth. He had not formulated any plan of attack, aside from the eventual arrival of his victim at the police station; and. as the time passed, he was considering a return voyage to the clairvoyant. Then the long looked for happened. About two o’clock one afternoon, he was sent to one of the large hotels of the town to call for a single passenger. There seemed nothing extraordinary about the call, and there was nothing extraordinary about Spiff as he answered. Indeed, he remembered afterwards how he had considered the afternoon very humdrum and tiresome. But this was before he had seen the object of his errand. After a short wait, the man came out to the taxi, carrying a light suitcase. After telling Spiff to drive to the Union Station, he got in. But not before Spiff had noticed with a stifled feeling around his heart, that he was a tall, dark man, that he wore a dark green suit, a black hat and a blue necktie, and that he could certainly be considered dangerous-looking. Without a word, he jumped into his seat and proceeded to drive the taxi. He was far from having the faintest idea of where to go or what to do. Moreover, with the bird in his hand or rather, in his taxi, he was greatly agitated as to how to keep him there. He seemed to be unable to think, except in his actions in driving. As a matter of course, he kept this up. unmindful of what direction he took, until he found himself on the outskirts of the city, racing along at a mad pace. At this point, the man within the car rapped on the glass which separated them. This glass was intended to slip down, leaving no partition between the driver and the inmate of his car, but having been broken once, had been repaired so that it could only be lowered a few inches. As Spiff paid no attention to his rap aside from slightly increasing his speed, the man applied a large-sized mouth to the aperture and bellowed out: The Centrallan Page One Hundred Twenty-one Sav. you fool, where yuh taking me? Don’t you know that I wanted to go to the Union Station? Xow. I have just eight minutes to make my train in. You get me there in time, or you and I’re going to have a little party of our own.” 1 here was no answer from the “fool” outside; but the man inside noticed that they seemed to have turned back towards the city. He said no more, but settled down, watch in hand. Meanwhile. Spiff had mapped out his campaign. He would return to the city, take his man to the central police station and have him arrested. But he would have to keep up sufficient speed to prevent hi.s jumping from the car. He figured that there was no danger of this until the eight minutes were up, so long as they were facing toward the city. So they drove along, neither speaking until the eight minutes were up. Then there was another address from within the car. Drive back to my hotel, you black idiot. I’ll settle with you and your company later.” Spiff obediently turned his car in the direction of the hotel from which they had started. But before they reached there, he stopped at the central police station and summoned a police officer before his astonished passenger had time to get out. They were both taken before the captain, to whom Spiff told his tale while his captive gave him looks of rage alternating with blank astonishment. But the police captain was acting even stranger than this. He seemed to be paying little attention to Spiff’s tale, but was much interested in the appearance of the man. He took a picture from his desk and looked at it closely, and then at the man again. Finally he reached over and removed the man’s hat. Then a smile broke over his face and he said. “Ah. I thought there was something familiar about you, Mr. Joe Nichols. I don’t suppose you know that you’re wanted for that little killing business down in Oklahoma last October. I fancy you and I arc going to be great friends during your visit here before you go back home.” Then he turned to Spiff. “1 think you had better leave your name and address w ith me. Unless you have objections to taking it. there ought to be about a thousand dollars reward for this man coming vour way very soon.” In the face of these developments. Spiff hastily decided to waive his previous claim. As he had no objections to leaving his name and address, he went home, his faith in the clairvoyant profession unshaken. As he told his mother at the conclusion of the recital that evening, I hem there spirchalists may be a lil bit wrong in the li!’ details, but yuh cain’t beat ’em in the i ig nnne yy Page One Hundred Twenty.two The Centralian Cuminanj S taru anft ffipuolutionary fcaaay GJuntpat ffiimtpra llumiuarit luri| FRANCES RECORDS First HANS LORSCH Second ANNA MAE CLARK Third THEODORE COLLINS Fourth HELEN TREGEMBA Fifth firooluliunary tnaau HILDA MAUCK Second ARTHUR FELT Third The Centrallan Page One Hundred Twenty-three ittilitanj Sfouiput I he Central Cadets compose the Third Battalion of tin Eleventh Regiment. High School Volunteers of the United States. This is the third year of the Central military corps, and the greatest of the three.

The Signal Corps, organized this year, represents a further enlargement of military organization. Central’s military instructor. Major A. H.

Holding, as he does, the respect and confidence of the cadets, we hone Major Roberts will remain long at Central. The Third Battalion will be benefited if he does. Like all other school activities, the Cadet Corps has suffered because of the long enforced “Flu” vacation. The military program this year has consisted of participation in two parades and the annual competitive Field Day Exercises. While Central did not show up very well in the Field Meet, the Battalion acquitted itself creditably and honorably, which, after all. is as much as may be expected.

After our team had won three straight games, it looked as though Central was in for another ever-victorious season. However. Westport ended this hope by defeating us in the fourth game. This defeat also ended our winning streak which had reached a total of thirty-seven games. The next game was with Manual, our jinx. We won this game and then we tackled Northeast, who had never won a game from us. After an exciting game, Northeast won by a score of 29-26.

This year’s team contained only two men from last year’s team. Captain Burke and Browning. After an interclass series a squad of eight men was picked consisting of Captain Burke, Browning, Storms, Masters, Bush. Thurmond. King, and Lott. The first seven of these players, all of whom received their “C s” for basketball, are seniors this year. This leaves Central without a letter man for next year. “Bun” Browning was the only Central player to make the all-star team, but Burke, Storms and Bush made the second all-star team. TOTAL SCORE.

The 880 did not net Central, a point. The A and B relay team, composed of Burke, Bush. Sorrels and Hutcherson, placed second. Central’s score was not boosted any higher, because our C and D relay team finished in fourth place. The final score for the meet was: Northeast. 17; Westport, 16; Central. 13; Manual, 8. The Centralian Page One Hundred Thirty-one The K. C. A. C. meet was the next meet of the season. Lott again won first in the 50 and 440-yard dashes. Again we failed to place in the 880. again the C and I) relay team finished fourth. The A and B relay team, composed of Burke, Gilman. Rush and Sorrels, finished second, and again Central finished third in the meet. The score was: Westport, 19: Northeast, 16; Central. 14; Manual. 6. On May third Coach Young took some track men to Columbia. There, although we didn’t win first place, we beat all the Kansas City High Schools in the track events. Lott took first in the 50 and the 440 and second in the 100-yard dash; Childs placed fourth in the 220 and Bacon ran third in the 880. In the field events. Slater won the high jump, Sorrels and Slater won first and second in the pole vault, and Hutcherson jumped fourth in the broad jump. Each of our relay teams finished second. The 880 team consisted of Burke. Sorrels, Childs and Wagner. Tin 440 team was composed of Burke. Lott. Girard and Gilman. Our next meet was at Lawrence.

Page One Hundred Thirty.four The Centrallan JFuatball Football this year was taken into the curriculum of the school athletics after a twelve-year layoff. Central had one of the best teams in the league, and the reason it did not win was because it did not score in the first game against Westport. Then, if the squad of boys that came out for practice had been larger and the first team had had more opposition, they would have downed Westport. Next year let’s have about fifty boys out to show Westport how the game is played. There were thirteen letters awarded the following players: Captain Burke. Sorrels, Bush, Wagner, Wetzel, Storms, Cole. Weekly. Fowler, Meycrson, Childs. Adams and Pendleton. The second team was small. Second team letters were awarded to Williams, Lighter, K. Miller, Potter and Warren. These men deserve a good deal of commendation for their consistent hard work. The “Flu” caused the season to be cut short, only the first two games being played. The games took place at Association Park. Central met Westport in the first game, and the first half the play was in the center of the field. The third quarter Central attempted a forward pass which was intercepted by a Westport player who reached the goal. Westport failed to kick goal. The remainder of the game Central fought hard but was unable to score. Score, Westport 6, Central 0. The week following Central engaged Manual in play while a light snow was falling. The first quarter Central pushed its way to the 30-yard line with its forward march V-formation play. Bush slipped through a hole for the first touchdown of the season. Sorrels failed to kick the goal. The second quarter “Cupid” Cole intercepted a forward pass and Central sprinted for her second touchdown. Bush counted with a kick goal. This play alone many said was worth the price of admission. Again the play was on Central’s two-yard line, and Manual attempted to kick out of danger, but Wetzel blocked the kick. The ball rolling behind the goal line was instantly in Meyerson’s arms. This counted for Central’s third touchdown. Bush again kicked the ball over the crossbar and this ended the scoring for the season. Score, Central 20. Manual 0. Touchdowns—Bush, Cole. Meyerson. Goals—Bush, 2.

Now come on. boys, let’s show Westport and the others how the game is played. Rah! Rah! Rah! LINDSEY BUSH, T9. (girls’ Athlrtirs Who said that girls were not as good athletes as boys? You’d better “duck,” because you might have to prove it. The girls of the Kansas City High Schools have longed for years to have inter-scholastic athletic enterprises in which they might compete. The inter-scholastic tennis tournament which was introduced among High School competitive events in 1917 marked the first innovation of this nature. This annual tournament has conclusively proved that girls are fully as well qualified to compete in interscholastic athletic activities as the so-called stronger sex. It has further shown that Central girls have the same standing with the girls of the other four High Schools as the boys of Central have with the The Centralian Page One Hundred Thirty-aeven Northeast, Manual and Westport boys. Thus Central might become the owner of a few more pennants and cups if the girls were allowed to win them. Only when the narrow-minded pessimists with nineteenth century views sec the light, will the girls have competitive athletic events; but. remember, this time is coming just as sure as nation-wide woman suffrage is coming, and in the next ten years, too. Not because of the prevailing restrictions, but in spite of them, girls’ athletics have become more popular in 1918-19 than ever before. The Olympians, Central’s athletic organization, with Miss Scott as its advisor, is the very backbone of the success that athletics have attained at Central. There arc about fifty girls in this club and among them the best girl athletes in the school. Every new sport that has been introduced into Central for the last four years has found its way there through the Olympians, formerly called the Blue Birds. Soccer football was the first sport of 1918, its practice being halted by the epidemic. Being a new game in a live school it found many enthusiastic followers and won a place in the hearts of many of Central’s athletic prodigies. Hockey followed soccer football, and although the best part of the hockey season was cut out of the school term, nevertheless some interesting games were played. 1 hen came the basketball season with a bang! A large number of girls turned out from every class for the tryouts. The interclass games between the girls were played and followed with as much enthusiasm and spirit as the inter-scholastic games between the boys. The Sophomores beat the Freshmen, and the Juniors trimmed the Seniors in the semi-final round of the interclass basketball tournament. The finals, between the Sophomores and Juniors, was the most closely contested game of the season. The Sophomores won the game and the tournament by a narrow margin. Maybe they intended to. Who knows? The Seniors and Freshmen, disconsolate, decided to have a consolation tournament in which they would both be in the finals without winning a game. Thus the wee Freshmen played the mighty Seniors and lost by a wee bit. All hail the Seniors, the winners of the consolation basketball championship! I he baseball and track season was next on Central’s athletic curriculum.. Although there were no interclass baseball games, yet this sport was greatly enjoyed by the girls in the gymnasium classes. An interclass track meet was held, the results of which came too late to be published here. The Centrallan t Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Tennis was ushered in as the only democratic athletic contest of the year. By democratic 1 mean an event in which girls and hoys are given “equal rights and privileges.” Approximately fifty girls signed up for the school tournament from which the school team was selected. This tournament was the biggest and best since tennis was introduced into High School activities in 1917. In the semi-finals of the school tournament Martha V. McLendon defeated Mildred O’Dell. 6-3. 6-3, and Catherine Cannon defeated Enid Fedeli, 6-3, 9-7. In the finals Martha V. McLendon defeated Catherine Cannon, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. • ' In the finals of the Interscholastic tournament Martha V. McLendon defeated Genevieve Pierce of Westport. 9-7, 6-3. The girls’ doubles teams lost. Central won the tournament, capturing three out of four events. The first annual gymnastic exhibition, under the direction of Miss Scott, the athletic director of the school, was held, and was one of the most successful events of its kind ever staged in Kansas City. Having completed a most successful year of girls’ athletics, the only conclusion is that 1918-19 marks the attainment of one more round on the ladder of inter-scholastic competitive athletic events for girls. (£ (Sirla At the first annual gymnasium exhibition held in the large gymnasium. May 23, 1919, the following girls were awarded the athletic “C,” given for winning at least ten of a possible fifteen credits in athletic enterprises: Jessie Dagleisch, ’19 •Myra Chandler, ’20 Laura Frances Cottingham, ’20 Laura Fay man. ’20 Enid Fidcli, ’20 Florence Grumich, ’20 Laura Preston, ’20 Beth Wagner. ’20 Ruth Weedfall, ’20 Maxine Ferring, ’21 Louise Ferris. ’21 Marie Flynn, ’21 FIccta Jagodnigg. ’21 Marie Pendergast, ’21 Alma Shipley, ’21 Those who were awarded the athletic “C” last year are: Gertrude Frcvman, ’19 Agnes Goetz, T9 Nellie Higgins, T9 Martha V.
