No- where is there an account of disaster. Scarce had her launching passed over her head, when some of her crew were in moleskins, savagely hurling themselves at a burly line of football heroes. And such was the impetus of this attack that one of the number was used in a game. The first victory of the cruise was complete. Despite the many storms that beset her, the “Sophomore” always conquered. Flying her pennant of yellow and white from her masthead, she sent hero after hero out. On pledge day nearly half a hundred members of the crew were taken into societies. And these people were kept busy winning honors for their respective clubs. Every club had at least one member of the crew as their representative in the battle of Inter-Society. One of the members took a prize in the shape of a silver medal. The ship went along her way until the Christmas Play was encountered. As usual “Sophomore” conquered, and many of the cast were members of her crew. Although the complete account of the battle of the Christmas Play has not been entered in the log, we are sure that the “Sophomore” was covered with glory. At last the fleet “Debate” was engaged. Bing! Bang! How our boys did fight! The “Sophomore” placed two men on the boy’s debate squad and one on the team. He did such good work that he was mentioned in the dispatches. In reply the commander said, “When the youngster of the team got up to speak, we were confident of his ability to win. He covered himself with glory!” Then the water became blue and the weather balmy. The “Sophomore” sent brawny, lightly clad men out to battle with the foe. And at the engagement of the Inter-class track, the crew of the “Senior” was overwhelmed and the “Junior” sadly crippled. At the close the “Junior” was only slightly in the lead. The “Sophomore” was going strong and as the grand finale of her crews, this event was especially gratifying, since she had been pitted against veterans. And so, dear sirs, we of the crew of the “Sophomore,” and I as their scribe, send out our greetings and wish you as much success as was her lot. Very truly yours, C. P. «ge Seventy THe Centralian She (Elaaa nf ’23 Who shall reject the privilege of writing of the most enviable class at Central—the freshman? The author of this article feels that, of all freshman classes, the one at Central this year is unrivaled, so why shouldn’t he utter a few words direct from his heart? It is an unquestioned fact that the business of a freshman is “to study”; therefore, it is plain to all that Central’s beginners this year are on the road to success. As for debate and literary contests, they have no paved way to success in these; the upperclassmen forbid it. But if you speak of track events, well, I need go no further. I trust you have been awake to all athletic stars and their records. When the freshman class of ’20 at Central assumes the ponderous burden which only seniors take up, they will look back at the graduating class of ’20 and then say to the freshman class of ’23 just what all seniors say to their inferiors: “You’re all right, or rather you will be, but you’ll have to bow to the mighty seniors. We had to do worse once in time past by.” It is enough to say here that the class of ’23 will break all the illustrious records of Central, just wait. So, readers, have hope for Central’s future; for why shouldn’t you when you have so enthusiastic and promising supporters as this year’s freshmen? The Centralian ; � Page Seventy-or. For two years our halls in the afternoon have become acquainted not only with Freshmen but with Sub-Freshmen as well. There really isn’t a great deal of difference between the two, in size, in looks, and sometimes even in brains. Those Freshmen, however, who were at Central for the 7th Grade show quite an unusual amount of sophistication for children so young. We may expect the same from those who arc Sub-Freshmen this year. Indeed, they already exhibit such symptoms. But all joking aside, our 7th Graders are really a very promising lot. In the Girls’ Gym Review, two of the cleverest numbers on the program were furnished by the class of ’24. This is a striking example of the eager way in which they take advantage of their gym privileges. They danced with a grace and drilled with a vigor scarcely believable in pupils so young. It surely shows the undoubted advantages of a Junior High School over the old method of ward school training fora 7th Grade, with their usual poor gymnasium facilities. Kansas City, the originator of the Junior High, has demonstrated the wonderful possibilities of such a movement. The co-operation and the fervent response which the students have contributed alone has made this possible. The upper-classmen with their clubs, athletic and social enthusiasms, are by no means ahead of the Sub-Freshmen who have a larger enthusiasm for their school. The very fact that it is all new to them tends to make them respond most heartily. In the years to come, when they have learned to know the school and love it, who can predict to what heights they will rise? Central is a famous old school. The Blue and White is known all over the Middle West. Seniors leaving this year have carried on the standard to the best of their ability. For the next four years our present Junior High people are responsible. Central expects much from her Sub-Freshmen, and is sure that her expectations will not be disappointed.

One day last summer me an’ my brother, Jed, was settin’ on the platform down at the depot. It was a couple a days before the Fourth. I remember ’cause we was waitin' for them Roman candles an’ flowerpots an’ things we’d ordered from the city an’ was hopin’ ’d be down on the 1:10. “Hi,” says Jed, “do you think they’ll be on her?” “Well,” I says, lookin’ down the line, “I couldn’t say, but I guess we’ll know pretty soon now. Here she comes.” “Yep, here she comes,” says Jed, “an’ fast too. We better get over to the window so’s we can get ours first.” a V f � _ . • - 1 . .Zsimkiu_I But jeemeny Christmas they didn’t throw off a thing but a sack of mail an’ a couple ’a trunks. “Gee whiz!” Jed says, “that’s thunder.” “Yeah, boys, that is hard luck,” Old Man Oakley puts in from the other side of the window, “but they may be in on the midnight. If they are, I’ll let you know first thing in the mornin’.” “Thanks,” says we. Don t mention it, says Oakley, an’ spits a quid at our old dog, Bess, that’s stnellin ’around the legs of the only passenger that’s got off the train, an’ who’s standin’ on the edge of the platform lookin’ up Main Street. He s about medium height an has on ice cream pants with a crease like a sythe edge, dark coat, straw hat turned up at the side, an black shoes, an’ gloves. What do you think of that in the summer time? On the whole he’s kinda sissy lookin’. “What is it?” whispers Jed. “Looks like a Englishman,” I answers. “Naw, English wear monocles an’ smats.” “Spats,” I says, “but they all don’t. Some----” But just then our friend speaks up, an’ lie talks just like that vaudiville fella that’s up at the Hall last winter a-takin’ off a Englishman, only there’s some-thin’ about his voice that makes you respect him as soon as he opens his mouth. The Centrallan Page One Hundred Thirteen “So this is Pirthmerton, eh?” “Bet your life, welcome to our city,” says Oakley, “have you got a check for them trunks?” “Thank you, sir. I have, and as I expect to remain in town for some little time I would like to inquire as to where 1 may obtain comfortable quarters.” “Well,” says Oakley, lookin’ at us, “I guess as how them kids can take you to just the place you’re lookin’ for.” “Really? And how do you do, young gentlemen?” “Fine, thanks,” says we. “An’ how’s yourself,” asks Jed. “Very well, thank you, sir.” An’ I most busts out laughin’ the way he’s so polite to us kids. “So you can aid me in finding lodgings, eh? And may I ask where and how?” “Sure,” I says, “our Ma takes boarders an’ the fella that’s had the two best rooms since January s just left ’count of his losin' all his money in oil an’ havin’ to go to the city for a job.” “My! how very convenient, at least for me,” our friend says, laughin’. An’ turnin’ to Oakley: Here is my check. Have this baggage sent to wherever I'm going immediately, my man.” An’ there s somthin about his manner, too, that makes you forget you ever thought he was sissy lookin’. Then he says: “Let the column advance. And I have the pleasure of being accompanied by whom ? “Jed laughs right out an’ says, “Well, his name’s Hiram, just call him Hi. You can call me Jed. “Hi and Jed what?” “Westover.” “Westover, eh? My name happens to be Thomas, Roland Thomas. You don’t happen to know anyone in town named Ludlow, do you, boys?” “Ludlow? Why, yes,” says Jed. “Sure,” I says. “Mr. Ludlow, but he ain’t in town an’ probably won’t be for a week or more.” “And what is the rest of the name?” he asks. An’ I thought the way his eyes shone that he was awful eager to know though the rest of him was calm enough. “Couldn’t say,” says I. “He just gave his name as Ludlow an’ stays sometimes only a day an’ once he’s here a month. Ma keeps his room ready for him all the time, an’ he pays for it a week in advance whether he uses it or not.” Page One Hundred Fourteen The Centralian “All right, lads, we won’t worry over our friend. Ludlow, except that I would be pleased if you will say nothing of the fact that I am acquainted with him. Mark me. If you are silent it means five dollars to you each. For if he is the Ludlow I hope him to be I wish to surprise him with my presence. You will promise, won’t you, boys?” “You bet!” we answers. “I’d be quiet any old day for five dollars,” says Jed. “Me, too,” says I. We’d been walkin’ fairly fast an’ was just about there, an’ when we turns through the gate he loQks at Bess an’ says: “That’s a handsome Beagle you have there. Where did you get her?” “Well, she used to belong to Mr. Ludlow, but he says as she’s gettin’ old he’d leave her here if we didn’t mind.” By this time we was up to the house so we took him in, an’ Jed went for Ma. “How do you do?” says Ma, when she comes in. “How do you do, Mrs. Westover. My name is Thomas. The boys have told me of the apartment you have unoccupied and I was hoping that I might become one of your boarders.” Ma says: “Why, certainly, Mr. Thomas. Did you wish to see the rooms now?” “If you will be so kind,” he answers. FIT I % So they went up stairs an’ me an’ Jed went out back to curry the hosses an’ chop some kindlin’. We don’t see much of him for a week as he don’t come down ’cept for meals. Then after breakfast he says to me, “Hi. do you like to ride?” “You bet!” I says. Be ready in half an hour then and we’ll go out and take a look at the country. Oh, yes, and bring the dog.” An’ he goes up to his room. In just half an hour he’s down again all dressed up in riding breeches with boots so shiny you can most see your face in ’em. an' spurs. I was sure surprised, for he didn’t look like the same fella. “By golly. Mr. Thomas, you look as if you was a soldier in that rig.” “Do you think so?” An’ he laughs like anything. “Maybe I am.” We gets two of the best hosses in the livery stable and we starts out the pike towards Whitewaters with Bess runnin’ along nosin’ the hedges ahead of us. “That is a fine hound there. It's the first Beagle I’ve seen in this country, in fact.” The Centrallan Page One Hundred Fifteen “So you are English then?” I says. “We knew you wasn’t American when we first saw you,” I tells him. He laughs an’ says, “ ery observing boys.” An’ so we rides along a-talkin’ an’ laughin’ an’ me a-wonderin all the more every minute who he was an’ how he happens to come to town. The self same question everybody else has been askin’ for the last eight days. Anyhow, we gets to Whitewaters at last an’ after hitchin’ the hosses over by the square, we goes into the restaurant for lunch an’ sits down at a table kinda off by itself. The waiter hands Thomas the bill of fare an’ somethin’ else that’s yella an’ looks like a tclagram to me. This waiter’s a funny lookin’ sort anyhow, real dark skinned an kinda oriental lookin , an right there I remembers what Mr. Thomas has said about coinin’ from India. Well, when we finished. Mr. Thomas calls him over an’ says in a low voice, “Have you followed my instructions, Shcrc Zelda ?” “Yea, master,” he answers, an’ starts talkin’ in some funny soft soundin’ language an once I hears the name Ludlow. “Well done!” answers Thomas. “I’ll see you then at 11:30.” An’ we goes out. “Looks peculiar, doesn’t it?” Yes siree!” “Well, don’t be suspicious of me because my actions are peculiar, old man. Now let us find our way home.” So we starts off toward home again at a pretty fast trot and holds it all the way, kcepin’ Bess on the jump to keep up with us. On reachin’ Pirthmerton instead of goin’ straight to the barn we stops at the Marshal’s office. “Marshal,” says Thomas, “I want Hi to help me. I think he will if you vouch for me. Won’t you, Hi?” “Me? Why, sure.” “You can trust him all right,” says the Marshal. “But what’s up?” I asks. “What’ll I do? What--------” “Let’s get rid of the animals now and get back home quickly,” Thomas tells me, “and you will be enlightened shortly.” So when we gets home, he says: “Mr. Ludlow will be on the midnight train and we are preparing that Pape One Sixteen The Centrallan surprise for him, and you, you will he in the living room when he enters. Greet him with surprise and engage him in conversation. Then suddenly say to the dog, who will be with you, “Bess, call Minnie! ’ Mr. Ludlow’s actions on your doing so will aid us greatly. Dinner now will soon be ready and remember— silence 1” ' , , 1 So at twelve, everybody’s gone to bed by ten, I sits alone with Bess in the parlor a-feelin’ kinda creepy an knowin’ that Mr. Thomas an’ Shere an’ heaven knows who else’s hid aroun’ somewheres watchin’. The train whistles down the line, an’ then I hear her stop, then puff, puff, puff, as she moves on again, then a silence, at last a footstep cornin’ up the path an’ in comes Mr. Ludlow and puts down his grip. He looks haggard an’ ten years older than when he left. We sits down and talks a few minutes an’ suddenly—“Bess, Bess,” says I, call Minnie!” An’ by George she stands up an’ gives a bark, pauses, and does it again. You should of seen Ludlow’s face. It goes ghastly white. He looks at the dog an’ then at me an’ begins to shake. “Boy!” he grits, sorta crouchin’ towards me. “What-what-what-do you know? What, boy? Where--------” Then he gets control of hisself an’ straightens up. “Ludlow!” “Thomas!” he sorta breathes in through his teeth. Then throwin’ back his shoulder, he turns about on his heel, salutes an’ puts out his wrists, an’ says: “Major, you have done your duty well! I would that I were in a position to commend you officially. Ah—I knew this morning that the sun had risen on my last day of freedom.” “Colonel,” says Thomas, “I place these on you in the name of His Majesty and my duty. Orderly, take charge of the prisoner.” An’ Shere Zelda steps in with a gun in his hand. They all files out an’ I goes to bed feelin’ like I was dreamin’. The next mornin’ they left. Thomas pays me an’ Jed each our five an’ thanks us to beat the band. Jed was sure sore after they’ve gone, an’ says, “Why couldn’t he have let me help too?” An’ I sure laughed. About a month after it’s all over, I gets a letter postmarked “Bombay,” thankin’ me “For services rendered in the capture of the late Colonel William Hope Ludlow, convicted of murdering his wife, Minnie Burton Ludlow,” signed Colonel Roland Thomas, V. C.—H. M. S. And then wasn’t old Jed jealous? The Centrallan Page One Hundred Seventeen iluatirr HARRY VOLLRATH This oration won Gold Medal in the Intersociety Contest. The artists of the ages have pictured scales and a sword in the hands of an angel as the symbol of justice. The sword is the symbol of her sternness, the scales of her fairness in weighing the conduct of men and nations. Yet the one quality the world needs more at this moment than anything else is the quality of being just; of rendering to everyone what is due him. The words of Isaiah are as applicable to present day conditions as when they were written: “Judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth afar off.” Today in the United States, justice is not in the hands of angels, and many of our criminal records are blots on the names of our cities. Today in Kansas City, I ask you, is that scale evenly balanced? Is it rendering equality to all? Are the rich getting undue advantage over the poor? I ask you, is not the corrupt hand of politics reaching out and checking the just administration of our laws? Injustice is rendered every day through the courts of this city. Let me cite a case which occurred two years ago. A man had worked for an express company for fourteen years. He was arrested by the company’s agent because some articles belonging to the company were found in his possession. No proof was given that he had stolen the goods. He was sent to jail one day; his case tried the second; and the third day saw him on his way to the penitentiary to serve a term of four years. In its efforts to make him confess, the court had used the third degree on this man, but no confession could be gotten from him. What could have been a more unjust treatment? He was arrested the 16th of October, 1918; his case tried the 17th and he was given a four-year sentence; the 18th he was sent to the penitentiary. No opportunity was given him to secure an attorney to defend himself. w Now this man of thirty-two was married and had a family of five small children, sick of influenza, depending upon him. His wife was left in a deplorable condition. She managed to barely live on $3.50 a week. Some friends became interested in her; if it had not been for them, God only knows where that poor mother and her five little ones would have been today. Page One Hundred Eighteen The Centrallan This man had been a good husband and father. His wife and children loved him; but think of it, they were only able to see him through those cruel, cold iron bars. He was a respected man. and his arrest was a shock to the neighborhood. A petition was gotten up for his parole by a neighbor. This was sent to the criminal court in this city, and to Governor Gardner. After eight months, it was finally recognized and he was acquitted in October, the following year. This man was thusly treated by the law in this very city, and is only one of hundreds of similar cases. The crying need of the world, of United States, of Kansas City is for justice. The injustice as administered through the courts where politics has entered is as the terrible vampire sucking the life-blood of the American democracy. Its great blows; its destruction to this new-born freedom was never equaled by any war. But is this nation never going to wake up? Are we never going to realize its vital importance? This nation is waking up; we are realizing its destructive blows more each day, for this injustice is affecting us as never before. We feel its effects on our business and social life. That scale that holds forth the hope of equality before the law in this city of corrupt politics; of legalized profiteers; of criminal bandits and protected murderers threatens the good name of our city and the safety of our fellow-man. We of Kansas City know too well the effects of corrupt politics. Our recent election frauds are blazening forth to the world the shame of Kansas City. Then my plea is to the decent, intelligent citizens to continue the fight for clean government; forget self-interest; forget the pursuit of pleasure until justice, that divine attribute has been established in our great city and in this broad land, until the children of America are safe; until property and life are respected; until the United States sees an end to legalized crime. This is not a vain dream. It can and will be accomplished. How soon, we cannot tell. It remains for you to determine, for “W’hilc right is often on the scaffold; wrong more often on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future; and, within the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow keeping watch above his own.” The Centrallan Page One Hundred Nineteen Jninittftitai FLORA SWEET This essay won Gold Medal in the Intersociety Contest. The great social revolution of today has caused us to give considerable thought to the individual and his rights, how he has suffered and how he has gained. Among the lower orders of nature the individual counts for nothing. The struggle for existence aims at the species and not at the individual. When a Daphnia may produce millions of offspring in the course of a few months, it is of no especial concern whether one of these lives or whether it is ruthlessly destroyed. For the benefit of the colony, the soldier ant gives up his life without hesitation. Among all lower animals this principle holds, and even with early man we find no advance. The wars of savage races took little account of the life of one man, it was only the preservation of the tribe that was of any significance, and with that in view everything else was sacrificed. During the advancing years a different phase of society has been developing wherein the individual is less and less called upon to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the community. Very far down in the scale of animals the production of offspring results in the destruction of the parent. Reproduction, for them, is the end in the case of the savage wife, who gives up all her individual interests to the duty of bearing and rearing children. As we pass through the stages of civilization, however, we find the necessity for this sacrifice becomes less. In modern society the perpetuation of the race is an incident in, but not the end of life. The purpose of existence is life, not reproduction. Another distinct factor to be considered in the relation of the individual to his conditions is his freedom. The savage alone has perfect or absolute freedom, and this lasts only as long as he lives a life untrammeled by the rules of a tribe, but as soon as he makes the first move towards organization, even to the extent of having a family, then his freedom disappears. His life from then on has an outside influence and he must give thought to others instead of to himself alone. It is true that freedom and liberty have long been the cry of civilization, but it is upon the giving up of these two factors that progress is based. There are no people who have perfect freedom, and there are few who want it. The ruling powers of the early nations made the mistake of not recognizing the individual as having any special rights. It was only the masses that appealed to them, consequently the individual was crushed Page One Hundred Twenty The Centrallan under organization. Society has constantly tried to make man its slave. On the other hand, the individual has no less been trying to exert his own personality, trying to raise himself above slavery and poverty, trying to obtain his share of the world’s good things. Throughout history there has been a constant conflict between these two forces, first one and then the other on the upper hand. Let us illustrate this fact by referring briefly to several of the important events of the last two thousand years. In the Roman republic the individual reigned supreme until he was nearly crushed out of existence by centralization. Rome fell, and was conquered by a race of people in which the individual held much power, a race of barbarians which scarcely knew what organization meant. But it took only a few centuries to bring the masses under as crushing a despotism as the Romans had known, for feudalism brought the almost complete loss of freedom. Man’s value to himself wholly disappeared, and he became a mere fighting machine for the benefit of his feudal lord. Cities brought the individual again to an exalted position. Simultaneously, however, a still more powerful influence tended towards centralization, as royalty, under the guise of helping the people, obtained their allegiance and support, enabling it thus to form for its own use the standing army. Among the Western nations, freedom has long been the battle cry of civilization and this demand for freedom has become louder and louder as the years have passed. The United States, for example, was founded upon the individual; its very organization was based upon the fact that “all men are created free and equal,” and through its whole history, the individual has ruled, in name at least. This same spirit lies under the feeling of unrest which is seen in our advanced communities at the present day. The anarchist is simply the man who carries individualism to the extreme; he thinks that the whole creation of law has taken away the natural rights of man, and that law should immediately be abolished to give man back his freedom. The socialist also places man before society. He would remedy the condition, however, by still further increasing the power of society by making laws preventing the accumulation of property, and in this way, making it impossible for one man to gain possessions by the labor of many. Despite the fact that this spirit of individualism is making more and more emphatic demands, the opposite tendency is also busily at work with its unlimitable force. In the United States, the nation founded with the individual as its cornerstone, organization is also holding an upper position. Political parties have risen and appropriated the independence of a voter, who is absolutely obliged, if he votes at all. to vote for many things he does not approve. Labor unions arc still more autocratic. Under the guise of an organization for the benefit of the individual, the laborer’s liberty is taken from him, and he is anything but a free The Centralian Page One Hundred Twenty-one man. He must work or be idle according to the dictates of a few autocratic leaders. Thus, even in a nation founded upon the individual, the force of organization and centralization is rapidly obliterating individual freedom. Lpon closer consideration we find that organization and individualism are not necessarily opposed. e do admit that organization is opposed to individual independence, but it is not opposed to individual welfare. This becomes clear when we compare the condition of man today with that of the earlier centuries. Society is more organized at the beginning of the twentieth century than at any other era of human history, but it is equally true that the individual stands on a higher plane than ever before. Man has had to sacrifice some of his independence, but in return, he has been given the opportunity to use the wonderful forces of civilization. The future is full of hope.

IBiUfii’ Spbciti' The debate question this year was of vital importance to everyone. With the countless strikes occurring and the consequent inflation of prices affecting us all, the subject became almost personal. The question was: Resolved. That the government of the United States should enact a compulsory arbitration law governing all disputes involving the basic industries. Our affirmative team met Northeast’s negative at Westport. Although they were defeated four to one. the boys made an exceedingly interesting debate out of it. Backstrom opened for Central and succeeded in proving the rather difficult first point. Frank commanded the attention of the audience from the time he took the floor until he concluded. Clark was our second speaker and his work drew a compliment from the opposing coach. Randall Creel’s conclusion for Central made an exceedingly effective speech and brought our main speeches to a successful climax. In rebuttal our team also did well, especially Creel, whose rebuttal work was one of the outstanding features of the debate. The team refused to be discouraged by the defeat and are already planning to retrieve laurels lost temporarily. Our negative team met Northeast’s affirmative at Manual and defeated them, three to two. The general effectiveness of the main speeches and the crushing evidence advanced in rebuttal was noticeable in our victory. Noel as first speaker left no doubt in the minds of the judges as to impracticability of compulsory arbitration. Benton Lee, continuing for Central, ably proved the unsoundness of the proposed law. Lorsch closed for the negative by proving that a com mlsory investigation law was more desirable than a compulsory arbitration law. The boys handled the rebuttal masterfully and successfully upheld their substitute. While we were not successful in winning both debates, the training received by the teams more than justified the work and time spent. With plenty of material in the school, Central should win both debates in 1921. Page One Hundred Twenty-four The Centrallan AFFIRMATIVE O-----0 BOYS' DEBATE NEGATIVE Tu Affirmative: Backstrom, Clark. Creel, Crowl, Ferguson. Negative: Noel, I� ec, Lorach, Boxley. (Stria’ tbhatr The girls’ debate took place on Thursday, April 1, 1920. at 10 o’clock—a couple of weeks after the boys’ debate. The subject was: Resolved, That for a period of twenty years, all immigration from Europe to the Lnited States and its possessions should be prohibited except for travel or study. Our affirmative team, consisting of Marion DeFries, Virginia Sheaff, Betty Clauss, and Beatrice Fultz, met the negative of Northeast at Westport. Somehow or other Northeast pulled through with a vote of four to one. But we still firmly maintain that our girls did not lose—they simply did not get enough votes! (Women have always struggled to get their vote!!) Suffice it to say that Northeast’s negative must have been some team to have secured the vote that it did. As to our negative team, which consisted of Helen Bosier, Gertrude Cohen, Frances Records, and Beth Wagner, they seemed to have carried with them and embodied into their work the fact that: Wi L “There’s no defeat, we can’t be beat, For we’re from Central High.” for they came out on top with a glorious four-to-one victory. It is here that we should say a word or two in tribute to our alternatives, Beatrice Fultz and Beth Wagner, who worked tremendously hard to help the teams to get their results. Central was indeed fortunate in getting even one victory, for at the outset of the girls’ trial debates the cloud was certainly dark. Sickness was abroad; and at this time also occurred the death of our principal. Later Miss Morgan found it impossible to coach the teams further. Hence the remainder of the big work fell to the lot of Miss Boehmer, assisted by Mr. Laughlin. It remains only to be said that next year, with things more settled than they were this year, Central hopes to win both debates. GERTRUDE COHEN.

Any team that has a defense that will not allow its goal line to be crossed but twice (two touchdowns) in a whole season’s play, must not be counted a failure; with a record of four tie games and two lost and two won, it looks as if we had a bit of hard luck. Whether the breaks were against us, or whether we had hard luck or whatever it may be, we do know that the team has fought every inch of ground of every game. And let it be said that Central had a real scrappy bunch of football men. The first game was played against Manual. The game opened with Central receiving the ball. Three successive forward passes from Sorrels to Harris netted about thirty yards. This put us down on Manual’s twenty-yard line. It looked as if we would score, but due to hard luck we lost the ball on downs. The game from then on was almost even, until the first of the last half when Manual made a touchdown on a fluke play. Central, as a proof of her never-give-up fighting spirit, came back in the last three minutes of play and lugged the ball down to Manual’s ten-yard line. Wetzel, our flashy half-back, then dashed through Manual’s left tackle for a touchdown. It all remained to Fowler’s toe whether we were defeated or tied, but Forie with a coolness of a veteran delivered the goods and kicked the ball straight and true over the cross-bar. The game ended Manual 7. Central 7. The second game was played with Northeast. In this game neither team seemed to have a very strong offensive. The teams were evenly matched and fought up and down the field all the game. The game ended, 0-0. The third game was with Westport which, as yet, had not been defeated. This was probably the best high school football game ever witnessed at Association Park. Westport tried our ends and found it useless. Then they tried our line and found it like hitting a stone wall. Jack Haas, their star backfield man, found it impossible to gain ground against our impregnable line. We found it possible to gain ground through their line, but it seemed as if our offense would weaken just at the wrong time. This bitterly waged game ended, 0-0, a scoreless tie, making the third tie game for us. The fourth game came as a surprise to us when Manual won it, 6-0. In our fifth game we met Northeast for the second time. We would have doubtlessly won this game if it had not been for our penalties. We outplayed our opponents in every stage of the game. In this game the breaks were certainly against us, and again the score was, 0-0. Page One Hundred ThJrty The Centralian Jfoutball eram First Row—(Top): Wetzel.

The sixth and final game tangled us with Westport again. In this game Westport was lacking in some of that confidence that a winning team sometimes has. Apparently Central had taken it out of them in the previous game. We held them to a scoreless tie in the first. The second half started with both teams determined to score. Fowler would break through the Westport line for a consistent gain. We carried the ball to Westport’s twenty-yard line, but unfortunately we fumbled. The fumble was costly because Westport immediately fell on the ball. They then carried it down the field to our ten-yard line, where they worked a cut-back play to a perfection and went over for the only touchdown of the game. The game thus ended in Westport’s favor, 6-0. I hose who won the C were: Captain Wagner, Sorrels, Wetzel, Pendleton. Harris, Moeller. Williams, Liter, Warren, Myerson. Ilalpin, Adams, and Wakefield. Of these there are ten who will jbe back next year. JACK HARRIS. Saakrthall A Again we must bow and hold silence while the rooters of other schools count up their scores; again we must grin and bear it. The basketball season for 1920 was certainly a most disheartening one for the Central five. But not for a minute did our boys give up; they fought a gallant battle from the first game with Westport, showing the excellent effects of the untiring efforts of Coach Menze. The team was practically all new material; Lott was thc'onlv man left from last year’s squad. Rowe, Savage, Sorrels, Wagner and Dubach were chosen to be members of this year’s squad. For their first game the boys toured to Fort Scott, where, although outweighed, but not outplayed, they won an exciting game with the high school there. Then commenced the inter-scholastic games, and then from us flew our once-upon-a-time mascot and constant companion, “Luck.” The six games all ended in favor of their opponents, but each game found our team a closer match for the other side. Their determination to win was never lacking; and until the shot sounded ending the last quarter of their final game, their spirit was not daunted. The prospects for the team next year are very encouraging, with Rowe, Cartwright, Fowler, Halpin and Bacchus coming back, coach should be able to pick an efficient five to carry out some good work.

In the first track meet of the year, the K. C. A. C. Indoor Meet, held at Convention Hall, on March 13. we came out an easy winner scoring 23 points to our nearest competitor’s (Westport) 13. In this meet, Kearney of Westport pulled a surprise by beating our Bill in the 50-yard dash—but—was Bill downhearted? No, sir! He came right back and walked off with the 440-vard dash in a pretty race in which Bill’s real power was truly displayed. Gunter took the 880-yard run easily, while Lorsch placed third in the same race. The next event was the C D relay, in which our team took first. Our big relay team, the A B team, was not so fortunate, being able to place only third. The final score for the meet was: Central 23, Westport 13, Manual 8. Northeast 6. The next meet of the season was the Missouri-Kansas meet held March 26. Again we pulled in ahead at the finish. Kearney again took first in the “50” and Norton of Manual, placed second, with Bill taking third. Again Bill waltzed through the “440,” with “Nig” Wagner pulling in fourth. And Gunter and Lorsch finished first and third respectively, as in the K. C. A. C. In the relays our teams reversed their order in the previous meet, the C D being third while the A B took first. The final score of the meet was: Central 22, Westport 16, Manual 9, Northeast 6. Then came the big, big day—The Quad. And it sure was big for us. There were many thrilling races and other events, too numerous for detailed mention. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day, both to the fellow who pulled and to his teammates and supporters, was the winning of the broad jump by “Tin” Adams. “Tin” won his “C,” and cinched the meet for Central by pulling off this feat, as up to that point the meet hung in balance with the broad jump as the deciding feature. We sure extend our strongest congratulations to Coach Menze and Captain Bill Lott for this most successful track season, to which victory they led the 1920Track Team. The final score in the Quad: Central 135, Northeast 131Westport 119, Manual 47.

The fourth year of the Cadet Corps opened with an enrollment of seventy boys who desired to acquire training both mentally and physically in military work. After three weeks of preliminary training, the officers for the year were appointed.

George Jones Squad Leader ..............Donald Lyons Squad Leader ..............Donald Baker Squad Leader ............... Roy Dixon The work of the year has consisted of the regular close order and extended order drills, interior guard duty, manual of arms, signaling, bayonet, setting-up, and rifle exercises. During the class periods when the weather would not permit out-door drill, lectures and efficiency tests were given by the Officers. The lectures embraced such subjects as the History of the Army, Patriotism, Camp Sanitation, Hygiene, Rifle Care, and many other interesting subjects in connection with the work. The latest equipment for the Company consisted of eight dozen Eddystone-Enfield Rifles, eight dozen Catridge Belts, Bayonets, and one dozen Gallery rifles. With the Company arrayed in this new equipment, the Cadets look like real warriors. The Military Training this year has been in charge of Capt. Lewis Menze, formerly Instructor of Infantry Officers’ Training School at Camp Grant, who has proved a very competent instructor, for under his guidance the company has developed into one of the best in the city. CADET FIELD DAY. The Cadet Field Day of 1920 was held Tuesday morning, May 18, at the Parade, 15th and Paseo. The Target Competition was won by the Rifle Team from Central, scoring 600 points.

(Stria’ Athlrtira Into the stream of girls’ sport life in Central has been injected some new blood this year. This blood is more commonly known as “pep” and the Senior High School, Freshman, and Sub-Freshman athletic work has all had its share of this wonderful life-saving ingredient. Three reasons there are for the appearance of this phenomena. The reasons are called respectively, Dorothy Bahe, “Polly” Root, and “Connie” Arbough, all three being newcomers to the athletic department this year, and all of them have the same middle name—it’s spelled P-E-P. The year 1919-1920 has been the biggest year in the history of Central for feminine achievement along the line of athletics, for with more than five hundred girls signed up for gym work every sport has had an added impetus, and the work has gone over the top with an unheard of enthusiasm. Hockey started off the year with large numbers trying out for each class team. Owing to numerous interruptions the final championship was not decided till February, when the Seniors carried off the honors to the tune of a hard fought 1-0 game. A young army of basketball enthusiasts tried out for the inter-class basketball battle with the result that the girls had a basketball season unprecedented in the sport annals of Central High. A second team tournament was played in the afternoons as well as the first team tournaments which were played at night to crowded gyms. The Junior first team holds the championship while the Seniors were the leading goal tossers in the second team league. Swimming also has passed through a “Revival of Learning” this year. Many girls passed the swimming tests for points quite efficiently, and in the swimming track meet astonishing skill was exhibited in the water sport. The meet was won by Nettie Plummer, first; Grace McCormack, second, ar f Ruth Weedfall, third. A fitting culmination of the season, and a well-deserved triumph for Miss Scott and Miss Bahe, was the Annual Gym Review held in the gymnasium on the night of May 7th, with fifteen hundred people witnessing the splendid work. Not a single hitch occurred in the carefully worked out program which consisted principally of floor-work and group dancing, with some solo dancing. The Junior High classes participated for the first time. During the evening the Highest Athletic Honors were awarded to the following girls: Laura Frances Cottingham, Florence Grumich, Laura Fayman, Nettie Plummer and Enid Fidelli. May Central have many more fully as successful vears in girls’ athletics. FRITZ RECORDS. Page Otie Hundred Forty-two The Centrallan opl|omorp Baakrtball Cram First Row—(Top): Morrison.
