(Dim ICpa rrs TOW let’s give a big ‘Brackety-yack!’—great big—come on, every-IxJ body—yes. we said everybody—now let’s go.” With such enthus- ' iasm as this did the Blue and White cheer leaders call into being such lung power as Central students never dreamed they possessed. Thus did they lead on to such manifestations of school spirit as were never witnessed before. The cheer leaders have been a real force this year, ever backing and supporting our athletic teams whether in victory or defeat. Their own energy and splendid spirit accounts in part for the ready response from the grandstands. With perfect co-operation and unity of movement they led the ringing cheers which greeted our teams whenever they came out to battle valiantly for the Blue and white. Paul Parker was chosen by the student council to be head cheer leader, in which position he proved invaluable. Joe Nichols and Lewis Sutin were selected as assistant leaders and Kenneth Torrance, Howard Wilkins, and Elwin Dungan as substitutes. Torrance and Wilkins led during part of the football season while all six were in Convention Hall to lead the cheering at the basketball games. [ 106 ] ALTHOUGH the student body at Central has been ever ready to cheer the accomplishments of its athletic teams, it is sometimes inclined to forget the work of those members of the faculty whose ceaseless labors have made these victories possible. Coach Louis E. Menze, assistant coach Gail Shikles, and the athletic business manager, Mr. T. E. Talmadge, are the ones to whom this credit is due. Coach Menze who was graduated from Central in 1913, was prominent in all branches of athletics. He later attended the Warrensburg Teachers’ College where he made an enviable record in inter-collegiate football, basketball, and baseball. Mr. Shikles came to Central last year, and has since filled the position of assistant coach. He was educated at Warrensburg and the University of Missouri, where he also made a name for himself in athletes. Mr. Talmadge who is head of the commercial department, has managed the business affairs of the athletic teams for the past nine years, and was in charge of the inter-scholastic basketball games this winter. t 107 ] ROBERT BYARS. 25 C “C C Man. ’C man football. 23. 24; All-Star. 23. ’24; Captain All-Star.

The Blue and White’s one defeat was a 3-0 thriller which was lost to Manual early in the season. However, Central avenged this loss three weeks later by decisively conquerirg the Crimson, 10-0. Throughout the entire season, the Blue and White machine, which Coach Menze 1 uilt around six letter men and as many second team veterans, showed exceptional ability in all departments of the game, and well deserved its seven victories. FIRST TEAM Top Row: Allen. B. Byars. Jones. Elmore, Doyle. Kelso. D. Byars. Bottom Row: Mr. Talmadge. Oldham. Taylor, Reich, Captain Cantrell. Haltis. McMillen. Theilkas, Coach Menze. In the two pre-season contests, Central had little difficulty in subduing its opponents. Rockhurst academy, which had been heralded as an undefeated team, found itself completely lost before Central’s brilliant array of end runs and line plays and fell under a 18-7 score. St. Joseph Central proved even easier, and our boys emerged from the fray on the long end of a 33-0 count. In the initial league contest, on October 11, Central opened up a powerful aerial attack against Northeast and easily won, 19-2. Oldham scored the first touchdown from the eleven yard line with an end ran. In the third quarter, Dorrance Byars scored after Northeast had fumbled on its last I H5 ] down. Bob Byars accounted for the other touchdown, crossing the line early in the final period. A week later, Central gave Westport the worst defeat of the season by running up a 37-0 score. Dorrance Byars, Hubert Doyle, and Bob Byars made up the Blue and White’s main scoring power, but their success was largely due to the excellent support given by the other members of the team. Baltis made a perfect record in this game by drop kicking after all five touchdowns; while Sipes added two points by knocking a Westport pass behind the goal line for a safety. The third round of the season found Central and Manual, the league leaders, meeting to decide which should retain the top position. During the first quarter of this game neither team was able to score; but in the second period Herowitz gave Manual a 3-0 lead with a drop kick from the SECOND TEAM Top Row: Connelly. Sander . Baker.

That score prevailed throughout the remainder of the contest; although the Crimson goal was never wholly out of danger, due to several Central marches down the field, one of which came within the one yard line before being halted. Central’s second victory over Northeast was featured chiefly by long end runs and off tackle plays. On one occasion, Bob Byars raced eighty yards around right tackle, planting the ball back of Northeast’s goal posts. Doyle scored both of the other touchdowns after receiving forward passes. Baltis kicked goal twice, bringing the score to 20-0. A late rally which added ten points, enabled Central to again defeat Westport, after the score had remained a tie until the final quarter. A t H6 ] pass, Oldham to Theilkas, which resulted in a touchdown, followed by Bob Byars’ twenty-five yard field goal, made up the Blue and White’s margin of victory. The final score was 23-13. The second encounter between Central and Manual, on November 15, was the deciding game of the season. Central took an early lead in the first quarter when Oldham ran fifty yards to a touchdown; and, through strong defensive work near its own goal line, the Blue and White held that lead throughout the rest of the game. In the last period, with Manual constantly threatening to tie the score, Baltis clinched the victory for Central with a field goal from the thirty-two yard line. Nine Central players were placed on the 1924 All-Star elevens. Camp f t • N SCENE FROM MANUAL-CENTRAL GAME Cantrell, Bob Byars, Hubert Doyle, and Robert Reich earned positions on the first team; while Gottfried Theilkas, Henry Allen, Sam Jones, and Bill Baltis were selected for the second squad. Bob Byars was honored with the captaincy of the mythical eleven. The Central Reserves placed second in their league by winning four games and losing two. They were defeated twice by Manual; but against all other contenders they were supreme, being scored against only once. They also played two outside games, losing the first to Smithville, but winning the second from Pleasant Hill by a wide margin. Four letter men, together with practically the entire second squad, will return next year. Captained by Billy Oldham, this team will undoubtedly be a big factor in the 1925 pennant race, and should be a strong contender for the inter-scholastic championship. [ 117 ] SCHEDULE Centra! Sept.

[ 118 ] Saakrtball IRrmrut WITH a record of four victories out of the six league contests. Central’s 1925 basketball quintet placed second to Westport in the interscholastic pennant race. In the seven outside games, the Blue and White met defeat only once, winning the remaining six games from representative teams of all parts of the Missouri Valley. Central opened its eason on December 20 with a 28-14 victory over Warrensburg high school, the Missouri state champions of 1924. A week later, in a practice game with a team composed of Central basketball stars of former years, the Blue and White easily defeated its opponents by a 37-23 score. The following Saturday, however, Central suffered its first defeat of the season, losing to Kansas City, Kansas, high school, 22-16. The first round of the interscholastic series was played on January 9, with Central matched against Westport. After the two teams had battled on practically even terms during almost the entire game, George Welsh’s long goal won the game for Westport less than two minutes before the final gun. The score was 23-21. Since no league contests were scheduled for the next week, the Central gymnasium was used on Friday night for a game with the Warrensburg Training school; and the Blue and White scored a well earned victory over the invading five. The following evening, the team went to Rockhurst academy, where the exceptional shooting of Phil Copland and Captain Arthur Nilson made possible another Central win, the final score being 29-10. In the second league game, on January 23, the Blue and White defeated Manual by a 25-16 count. Copland, who was again hitting the basket in top form, scored half of the team’s ten field goals; while Nilson was the big defensive star. The Central-Northeast game, a week later, found the Blue and White players missing innumerable set up shots, and as a result, seven points scored by the Purple forwards in the last quarter, gave Northeast a 20-16 win. With a standing of only .333 percent at this point of the league race, the Central players entered the second half of the senes with a determination to win that carried them to victory in all of the three remaining interscholastic games. Westport was the first victim of this attack, losing by a 21-28 score, after forty minutes of the fastest and closest play of the entire season. Manual next fell under the heavy-scoring Blue and White machine, and [ H9 ] was easily conquored by a 42-17 count. Russell Thomson’s seven goals were the main factor in this victory, but all of the other regulars took prominent parts in the scoring. The next week, Central journeyed to other courts for games with the St. Joseph, Missouri, and Lincoln, Nebraska, high school teams. A late rally which scored thirteen points in the last quarter, gave the Blue and BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row: Levy. Blue. Taylor. Black. Thompson, Byars. Middle Row: Connelly. Arnold. Kline. Allen.

The concluding game of the season, on February 28, resulted in another easy win for the Blue and White, Northeast being defeated, 31-18. Central led throughout most of the game, although the Pui-ple held a 2-1 advantage at the end of the first quarter. Five Central regulars earned places on the two All-Star teams, Nilson being named as captain of the first squad. Thomson also placed on the first team, and Collins, Copland, and Byars on the second. In the Reserve league, the Central seconds also concluded their season in the runner-up position with four victories and two defeats. Five outside games were played, four of which were won by the Reserve cagers. [ 120 ] SCHEDULE Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. 20—Central VS.

The matches were played on the Rockhill courts, on the afternoons of September 29, 30, and 31, and drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators on each date. In the last round of the tournament, Robert Page and Herbert Davis, who represented Central in the boys’ doubles, lost a hard fought contest to Close and Arnold of Westport, 6-2, 7-9, 6-4. The mixed doubles, consisting of Edward Kennedy and Nita Vail, won their opening match from Walter Wilds and Opal Pharest of Manual, but lost to the strong Northeast team in the finals. The scores of the two matches were 6-2, 6-0, and 6-0, 6-2, respectively. Robert Page, boys’ singles, defeated Manual in the first round of the tournament, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, but was eliminated by Westport the next day, 6-0, 4-6, 3-6. This year. Central was also represented by a second team in every event except the mixed doubles. None of the second teams, however, reached the finals. Herbert Davis, boys’ singles, was defeated by Kenneth Arnold of Westport in the first round, 6-2, 6-1. George Reynolds and William Shafer, boys’ doubles, drew a bye the first day, but in the semi-finals, after winning the first set from Northeast, 8-6, lost the last two, 2-6, 1-6. Central’s greatest handicap this year was lack of experience, as Nita Vail was the only player from last year’s teams to return. But with Edward Kennedy and William Shafer, together with a large number of other likely candidates, reporting for practice next fall, Central’s chances for a successful season in 1925 seem very bright.

Ua ark IRrmrut WITH THE completion of all but three ot the track contests scheduled tor the 1925 season, Central had produced a team which seemed likely to develop into a consistently winning combination before the dates of the two most important meets of the year, the annual state meet at Columbia, and the city Quadrangular. The season opened on February 7, with the K.C.A.C. indoor meet, in which Central finished second to Northeast. The Missouri-Kansas invitation meet on Februarv 25, found the Blue and White losing both relays through accidents on the track, and as a consequence tying with Manual for third place. However, in the Missouri Valley meet, a month later, the Central runners again captured second honors, with one second, two thirds, and two fourths to their credit. Outdoor track and fie’d competition began with the two annual Interclass contests, the unlimited division of the meet being held on April 1, and the Class B division on April 6. Both meets were won by the Seniors, but by comparatively close scores. A dual meet between Central and Manual was run on April 11, and the Blue and White entries accomplished the unusual feat of taking first in every event. In the Kansas relays at Lawrence the following week, the Blue and White was represented in the half, one, and two-mile relays, and won thirds in the first two events, but failed to place in the latter. At this point, three meets remained to be run. A Class B Central-Westport dual meet on April 27, the state meet on May 2, and the Quadrangular on May 9. t 122 ] OStrla' Atblrtira UNDER the direction of Miss Dorothy V. Bahe, girls’ physical education instructor in Central for the past six years, athletics have come to occupy their now important place in almost every Central girl’s school life. Miss Bahe’s success in this position is due not only to her ability, but also to her own spirit of fellowship and sportsmanship which she puts into all her work. Miss Refcekah Leibengood, who has assisted with the gymnasium work for the past two years, has been an invaluable aid in every undertaking, as has Mi’s. Alice Gordon, who has been a great asset to the department as musical director. Nine girls were chosen to manage the various sports this year. The managers were: Helen Mindlin, basketball; Selma Blasbalg, hockey; Grace Kiel, tennis; Faye Lowe, swimming; Louise McCurdy, volley-ball; Courtney Pickens, dancing; Zelpha DeWitt, baseball; Berneice Stevens and Helen Eagle, hike. [ 123 ] Miss Bahe, Kiel. Bla� baitr. Long. Mindlin. Moeller, Burns. O'Farrell. (Stria’ (Trnnia IRnmutt THE tennis tournament held on the Rockhill courts the latter part of September, opened the girls’ athletic season. Soon after the opening of school, the girls began practicing for the tournament under the management of Grace Kiel. Miss Dorothy Bahe picked the teams by means of practice tournament held on the city courts. Two Central graduates, Augusta Coleman and Marjorie Ilamer, coached the teams. Since tennis is the only inter-scholastic sport in which the girl athletes participate, the field is always crowded with devotees of the net. Our young “Helen Wills” wielded praiseworthy rackets, but the results were unfortunate for Central. In the first round, Centrals’ first team girls’ singles emerged victorious over Manual, the second team losing to Westport. The first team girls’ doubles drew a bye and the second lost to Westport. The mixed doubles drew a bye. In the second round, Central’s first team girls’ singles and doubles lost to Northeast and Westport respectively, while the mixed doubles triumphed over Manual, but lost to Westport in the final round. The players were: Selma Blasbalg, first singles; Helen Stevenson, second singles; Helen Mindlin and Cecil Long, first doubles; Jeanette Moeller and Mama Burns, second doubles. Nita Vail represented in the mixed doubles. Of this year’s tournament, Miss Bahe says, “The team lacked experience, but the players put up a hard fight.” [ 124 ] VOLLEY BALL TEAM Top Row: Hayward Shearer. HuKidns. Carey. Hassett. Daniel .

In this preliminary tournament the first hour emerged victorious. Then volley ball began in earnest. Sophomore, junior, and senior teams were selected and the annual volley ball tournament was in full swing by the end of the week. In the first round, the juniors decisively defeated the sophomores with a 44-23 score. The sophomores lost to the seniors 32-16 in the second game. Though having the advantage of a year’s more experience, the seniors were defeated by the juniors 39-20 in the final game of the season. Helen Peden was captain of the champion junior team and Mary Mildred Delaplain and Frances Hayward captained the senior and sophomore teams, respectively. Much credit for the enthusiasm shown in volley ball this year and the success of the tournament is due to Louise McCurdy, the 1924-25 volley ball manager. [ 125 ] GIRLS HOCKEY Top Row: Hayward.

The girls team rhythm and poise as well as developing quick minds and graceful bodies. The year’s work culminated in the Spring Program which was presented in the auditorium on May 2. Two dance dramas, “Pygmalion and Gatatea ’, and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, and a number of clever divertisements comprised the program. Courtney Pickens managed the dancing this year. The girl swimmers needed no pep leader, for nearly every girl in the athletic department took advantage of the opportunities afforded in the junior and senior life savings classes. Elimination contests were held in the pool here, where a team was chosen from the sophomores, the juniors and the seniors. These competed in the annual final tournament which was held in the Kansas City Athletic Club pool. This meet was won by the seniors with Faye Lowe, swimming manager, individual winner. Baseball teams will be organized this Spring and a series of games played under the management of Zelpha DeWitt. Hike, another minor activity of the year, was managed by Berenice Stevens and Helen Eagle. A very keen interest was displayed in basketball this year. In the first game, the seniors won a hard-fought battle with the sophomores by defeating them, 26-23. In the next game, the juniors won an easy victory over the sophomores, and in the final game, they captured the championship by defeating the seniors. HIGHEST ATHLETIC HONORS Back Row: Burns.

Hmjit’ Dfhatr 0 WIN a city championship in boys’ debate one year is an honor, but for one school to emerge victorious for two consecutive seasons is indeed a singular accomplishment. For the second time, the Amherst debating trophy will rest within the stronghold ot the Blue and White, and if the Central teams are victorious next year it will be our permanent possession. The debates which were held March 27 this year, on the subject: “Resolved, that the United States is justified in prohibiting Japanese immigration to this country,” resulted in a unanimous decision being rendered for the negative over Westport’s affirmative, and a 2-1 victory for the affirmative over Northeast’s negative. The Westport negative defeated Manual’s affirmative by a 3-0 decision in the Westport auditorium, while the Manual negative came off winner by a 2-1 vote in their clash with Northeast’s affirmative at Manual. Because of their victory the eight Central debaters were guests of honor of the Chamber of Commerce on April 8, before whose membership they repeated their arguments. These victories, which gave us a second leg on the debating cup, can largely be attributed to the untiring efforts and capable guidance of Mr. A. B. Richmond, coach of the teams, and Miss Ileba Tomlin, instructor in public speaking. The affirmative team composed of Ralph Cheney, first speaker; Fred Anderson, second speaker; Alfred Hickman, third speaker and captain; and Howard Dueker, alternate, journeyed forth to hostile territory to uphold the honor of our debating teams. At Northeast they met a team t 138 ] NEGATIVE TEAM Lewis Sutin. Edward Hickman, Robert Kane, Lee Hibbs. weakened by the loss of one of its members, who was ill. The four resolute Blue and White representatives presented a strongly knit case, building up their arguments into a closely co-ordinated whole. The Northeast team retaliated with a strong appeal to the emotions of the judges. But while they did successfully sway the audience by the eloquence of their words, they refused to clash or meet the arguments of the affirmative. Each Central speaker in turn, built up his part of a strong wall of argument against which the opposing forces made little or no impression. In rebuttal, so often the deciding point in debate, the Centra! men clearly outclassed the work of the opposing team. The four who stayed at Central to protect home interests, met a rather weak rival quartet hailing from Westport, who, before the debate, was considered Central’s most serious opponent. While the convincing main speeches and rebuttals of Edward Hickman, first speaker; Robert Kane, second speaker; and Lewis Sutin, third speaker and captain, left the outcome of the clash in doubt at no time, it was temporarily thrown into a slight uncertainty following the remarkable concluding rebuttal offered by Westport’s third affirmative speaker. In a clear, logical, and analitical fashion he proceeded after the negative had rested their case to tear down step by step the arguments that they had so laboriously built up. If he had been aided more materially by his colleagues the Central victory might not have been quite so decisive, but the judges were forced to weigh the rather lifeless work of the first and second affinnative speakers against the consistently strong and well balanced work of the Central men. Howard Lee Hibbs served as alternate of the negative team. As a whole, the victory of the Central teams was attributed by the judges to the spirit of co-operation that was evidenced by the Blue and White debaters and the evenly matched abilities of the men. t 139 ] AFFIRMATIVE TEAM Louise Heinlein, Ruth Bryant. Janet Lawhon. Jane Palmer. (Girls’ Drhatr FOR THE first time in many years Central’s girl debate teams wrested victory from their opponents. The shadow of defeat which had so long proved impenetrable to Blue and White representatives was dispelled this year, when the two girls’ teams successfully conquered the Westport affirmative and Northeast negative debaters. Manual, however, likewise won two victories, putting to rout the West-port negative at Westport by a 3-0 vote of the judges and overcoming the Northeast affirmative at Manual by a 2-1 majority. This would ordinarily have necessitated another debate to settle the tie but since local conditions made it impossible to have the debate, it was agreed by the principals of the four high schools to let the championship remain the joint possession of the two schools. Central and Manual each being permitted to hold the debate trophy for half the year. In producing four winning del ate teams this year. Central has established a record for debate successes. Never before in the history of the school have two victories in both the boys’ and girls’ contests been won. Central may justly be proud of the undefeated season in debate which she concluded this year. To Mi. II. B. Franklin, coach of the girls’ teams, the success in the debates must in large measure be attributed. His able instruction and unceasing efforts aided the teams materially in their intensive preparation °r the contest. Through persistent training he developed a crew of previously untried debaters into a team deserving of the highest praise. The question debated by the girls on April 7th, was: “Resolved that the President and Vice-President of the United States should be nominated bv a direct primary.” J , At Noi-th.east the affirmative met a worthy rival in the Purple and White negative team, although one which, both in main argument and rebuttal, failed to show the strength to destroy the Central case. The [ 140 ] NEGATIVE TEAM Lois McKemy. Vera Mericle. Carlotta Cunning. Ruth Walker. personnel of this Central team which launched its attack in hostile territory was as follows: Louise Heinlein, first speaker and captain; Ruth Bryant, second speaker; Janet Lawhon, third speaker; and Jane Palmer, alternate. This team faced the issue squarely by proving the direct primary practical and desirable in all respects, citing credible facts to support their contentions. The case thus presented formed a logical and consistent whole in which there were few weak points against which Northeast could direct its attack. The remarkable rebuttals presented by the Central debaters in which they effectively refuted practically all of the Northeast arguments, were easily the feature of the debate. At Central the negative team composed of Carlotta Cunning, first speaker; Vera Mericle, second speaker; Lois McKemy, third speaker and captain; and Ruth Walker, alternate; met a team of capable debaters from Westport. The Blue and White representatives built up a strong, closely co-ordinated case, proving the direct primary plan unsatisfactory from a'l angles. The Westport arguments, while powerful, lacked the unity which was obviously the outstanding virtue of the Central case nor were they supported by such conclusive evidence. Both teams showed ability in rebuttal and for a time great uncertainty was felt as to the possible outcome of the debate. Many Westport arguments were skillfully refuted by the trio of Central speakers, while Westport likewise dealt heavy blows to the Blue and White defense, which, however, proved sufficiently sturdy to withstand the onslaught. The success of both the girls’ and boys’ teams this year was dependent upon almost identical factors. To co-operation among the team members, and the presentation of compact, well-balanced cases in the development of which, each speaker aided almost equally, their victories mav larsrelv be attributed. [ 141 ] SCENE FROM THE JOURNEYS END ahr 3Jmtrnrti’s tinii HE drama class of Miss Virginia Robertson presented a one-act play, “The Journey’s End,” which was written by Miss Robertson assisted by Mary Ellen Kohler and several other members of the drama class, in two assemblies, on December 24. For the first time, Central witnessed a production written by one of its own teachers. In writing this play, Miss Robertson achieved the difficult task of permitting fifty students to participate in an entertaining forty-five minute drama. The Christmas spirit pervaded the play throughout. Molly O’Connor, excellently portrayed by Elizabeth Stewart and Sarah Sarofsky, and her small daughter, Nora, played by Edna Hemperly and Kathryn Pierce, are seen waiting in a large Union Station on Christmas Eve. People of different types and circumstances pass, making varied impressions on the newly-arrived foreigners whose hopefulness and patience also influence the passers-by. The play concludes with the promise of a Merry Christmas for the O’Connors and of brighter days ahead. These students did outstanding character work in their respective roles: Charles Armstrong, in the role of Mr. Badger; Helen Powell, as the comical grandma; Fiances Montfort, depicting a haughty society matron; James Crooker and Dorothy Donville, the newly-weds; and Freda Lipsitz and Margaret Symonds, portraying the widow whose sorrows were lightened by association with the immigrants. Others who deserve commendation are: Jane Palmer, Helen Krebs, Evalyn Knapp, Robert Kane, George Gabbert, and Frank Sullivan. A group of twenty-six college students and friends headed by Paul Parker, proved entertaining with their yells and enthusiasm. Other students represented red caps and train announcers while outstanding members of Miss Robertson’s first and second year expression classes appeared as passengers, attendants, etc. The efforts of the following were responsible for the success of the production: Miss Virginia Robertson, director; Miss Mari F. Whitney, carols; Miss Marguerite Zimmerman, orchestra; Mr. G. M. Lortz, scenery; Miss Delle Miller, decorations; and Mr. A. E. Harley, programs. [ 142 ] SCENE FROM WOBBLES Hflbblffl CENTRAL’S thirty-first annual play, “Wobbles,” was presented Fel ruary 19. 20, and 21, to large and appreciative audiences. The plot centers around Celia, an elder sister, who is considered prosaic and uninteresting by her family and friends. How she dispels this attitude by fabricating an imaginary lover who later actually appears on the scene, provides a clever comedy. The feminine lead of Celia was capably interpreted by Elizabeth Stewart, Mary Ellen Kohler, and Sarah Sarofsky. The leading masculine paid; vyas taken by Max Cluff and Frank Sullivan. Sullivan acted Saturday, having been adjudged the better in competition. George Reynolds and Paul Parker provided amusement as Robert Tarver, a young English swell. Parker played on the final night. Joe Thomas and Eugene Allen cleverly presented the role of William Faraday, a typical English squire. Allen repeated in the part. The character work of Helen Powell, Carlotta Cunning, and Frances Montfort as Aunt Ida was an outstanding feature of the production and deserves the highest praise. The parts of James Raleigh and Jimmy Steel, two young society men, were enacted by Norman King and Charles Wentzel on Thursday, and by Robert Kane and J. C. Ragland on Friday. The roles fell to King and Ragland for final presentation. The young and selfish Phyllis Faraday was entertainingly portrayed by Dorothy Donville, Sara Mans Bacon, and Mona Muncey. Madge and Evalyn, Celia’s two married sisters, were acted by Evelyn Anderson, Bernice Purvis, and Loretta Haefner as Madge; and Katherine French, Isabel Baker, and Evalyn Knapp as Evelyn. Parsons, the maid, was efficiently played by Quinta Huggins, Margaret Symonds, and Virginia Becker. Much credit is due Miss Virginia Robertson who directed the play, L. H. Dentel, who was business manager, and Miss Delle Miller, art adviser. [ 143 ] SCENE FROM OUT OF THE STILLNESS (Out of thr £ tiUnraa ATIIREE-ACT comedy, “Out of the Stillness,” by Lindsay Barbee, was presented the nights of March 19, 20, and 21, as Miss’Anna McCoy I rands’ annual spring play. It abounded in mystery, excitement, humor, and love, and was well received by large audiences, each night. The plot of the play centers around Marion Deering who is disconsolate 1 ecause of the death of her brother and refuses to be comforted, believing that death has raised an insurmountable barrier between them. The stage set was well-balanced, the color effects being attractive and harmonious. The chandelier suspended from the middle of the stage was original in Central staging and was the work of Miss Francis. The lighting arrangements were well planned throughout the entire production and played an important part in the presentation of the play. As for the action of the drama, the thread of mystery, substained through the plot held the interest of the audience at all times. The voice coming mysteriously “out the stillness” in the first act and the tensely dramatic crystal reading together with the appearance of the ghost during the second act provided some real thrills for the audience. All of these interesting scenes were made more effective by very clever lighting and scenic effects. In the lead part of Marian, Ernest Endicott who intei-preted the role Thursday night was adjudged the best, and reenacted it before the audience Saturday night. Sarah Weeks gave a very pleasing interpetation of the part Friday night. The masculine lead of Sheridan Blair, was very capably portrayed by Rob- [ 144 ] — ert Shepp Thursday night and by Archibald Kelley Friday night. Kelley was chosen to repeat in the role. Adolph Eichenherg developed the crafty character of Alfred Tevis so vividly that he was cast for that part all three nights. Alice Anderson and Billie Weeks played the part of the villianess, Cecile Tevis, on Thursday and Friday nights, respectively. Billie Weeks won the decision of the judges to play the part Saturday night. The part of Jerry, the reformed “chauffeur,” was filled by Thomas Maxwell on Thursday night, Carl Matthews on Friday, and Theron Davis on Saturday. Opposite Jerry, the part of Eileen Deering was charmingly played by Virginia Lohefner, Marjorie Groshong, and Rowena Planck on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights respectively. Donald Cox, Frank Dubach, and Jack Morris portrayed the role of Byrne Seymore, the artist, while Patsy Gilday. Estalyn Reed, and Virginia Allen executed the part of Jane Carrol, opposite Seymore. Mrs. Deering, the reserved mother, was done by Vera Willhite on Thursday night, Virginia Henry played on Friday night. The latter was chosen to play on Saturday night. The part of Bobby was well done, considering the fact that it is difficult to find a high school student small enough to play the part of a ten year-old boy. Nevertheless, the role was commendably portrayed on Thursday night by John Arcella and on Friday night by Claudius Pierce. Pierce was picked to play the part on the third night. Henry Jerome, a neighbor of the Deerings, was played by Charles Edwards in the first performance, while Rolland Hillbrand portrayed the character on Friday night. Hillbrand was chosen to play on Saturday night also. Hamilton Whitney, the detective, was done by Louis Kan-chuk and Solomon Ribakoff. Kanchuck repeating on Saturday. Tom Morgan was played by Bernard Fugate and Charles Edwards. Fugate gave the final presentation. Irene Axene, Caro Neitzke, and Esther Hatch played the part of Natalie Deering, the young widow, in a commendable fashion. The character role of Aunt Lizzie, the irritable maid, was very well in-terpreted by Irene Stubenrauch, Josephine Scroggs, and Pauline Busch. Lucy, the maid, was efficiently played by Grace Fuhr, Eloise Shearer, and Esther Goodall. The remainder of the cast was as follows: Bess Roberts—Esther Hyman. Kathryn Gray, Anna Belle Peterson; Elizabeth Jane, Mary Maxine Korflage: the voice, David Brown: the apparition, Junius Cofer; children: Bernard Myers, Leonore Groves, Kathryn Glenn, Charles Wendorff, Lillian Fuhr, Reta Rowe, Wanda Laughlin, Virgil Scott, Dorothy Miniace, and Rosemary Greife. The success of the production was largely due to the unfailing energy expended by Miss Anna McCoy Francis, director; and J. M. Lukens, business manager. [ 145 ] SCENE FROM PIRATES OF PENZANCE JJiratrs of {fenzanr? A COMIC opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, “The Pirates of Penzance,” was presented by the Choral and Glee clubs under the direction of Miss Mari F. Whitney, on November 20, 21, and 22. A capacity audience witnessed the performance each night. This was the fifth season of opera in Central. Since 1920, a series of Gilbert and Sullivan operas have been given by the music department with ever increasing success. The first to be produced was “All At Sea,” a clever arrangement of favorite songs and choruses from different Gilbert and Sullivan operas. “The Mikado” was presented in 1921 and proved so entertaining that it was repeated with even greater success the following year. Last year the opera was “Pinafore” which was given before large audiences on two nights. The rapid growth of the popularity of comic opera in the school is easily apparent. From the year 1920 when it was found difficult to sell tickets for a one-night performance, the annual opera of the music department has rapidly found favor in the eyes of Central students until this year it was found necessary to give it on three nights in order to accommodate all who desired to attend. The Choral and Glee clubs in presenting yearly such excellent entertainment have made a unique contribution to both the music and dramatics of Central. The plot of the “Pirates” centers around Frederic, a pirate apprentice, who is about to be released, having completed his term of service under the pirate flag. When, however, it is found that he, having been born on February 29th in leap year, has experienced only five birthdays and is therefore still legally bound to the pirates, this “slave of duty” reluctantly returns to the business of piracy so hateful to him. Meanwhile, though, he has become engaged to Mabel, daughter of Major General Stanley, and has laid plans for capturing his erstwhile companions. Many complica- [ U6 ] SCENE FROM PIRATES OF PENZANCE tions and amusing situations are created tut all tangles are at last unravelled, bringing the opera to a happy conclusion. Frederic, the tenor lead, was well played on Thursday night by Hands Fromhold, while Charles Closser was very dramatic in that role Friday evening. Mary Ann Anthony and Marguerite Johnson, playing opposite in the character of Mabel, daughter of the Major General, should be highly commended for their excellent inteipretations. Dorothy Case and Dorothy Bauss showed real ability as Ruth, a piratical maid-of-all-work, while James Sams and Jewell Lyon made impressive pirate kings. James Barrick and Robert Bremer with their dignified bearing, filled the role of Major General Stanley of the British army very acceptably. The parts of Kate, Edith, and Isabel, daughters of the Major General, were well portrayed on Thursday night by Mildred Robinson, Marian Speelman, and Lucile Christie, and on the following night by Josephine McArthur, Marian Chapin, and Ruth Sippell. Carl Manion and Robert McMahon as Samuel, the pirate king’s lieutenant, and Thomas Gough and Theodore Shaw, depicting the timid Police sergeant, were very entertaining. The cast was ably supported and the whole production given atmosphere by the boys’ chorus as the colorful pirate band and the gills’ chorus representing the friends of the Major General’s four daughters. A pirate dance given at the conclusion of the first act received much applause. Due deliberation on the part of the judges resulted in the choice of the Friday night cast to give the opera again Saturday. On Saturday night, Theodore Shaw was unable to take the part of the police sergeant which was then capably and cleverly filled by Louis Meyers. Credit for the success of the performance should be given to the following, who aided in the production of the opera: Miss Mari F. Whitney, director; Miss Anna McCoy Francis, assistant director; 0. F. Dierson, business manager; C. 0. Williams, stage manager; and G. M. Lortz, scenery. t 147 ] Elmer Rush. Edward Devona, Charles Mackie. Fred Pickett. (£rntral (Crnit Every dramatic production given at Central is itself silent evidence of the efficiency and faithfulness of our stage crew. From the time the curtain is first drawn hack until the last line is spoken by the players, one is aware that an energetic, resourceful crew is on hand, performing its duty promptly and accurtely. We have had splendid corps of stage hands in years past but the one this year has surpassed them all in tireless effort and ingenuity. To the 1925 stage crew, time has meant nothing; the best they had to give, all. Antuuntr THE “Antigone” of Sophocles was presented by the history department of Northeast high school in the Central auditorium, Friday, December 5, under the auspices of the Central Classics club and the history department, tragedy. Ardene Stephen’s interpretation of the role of Antigone was excellent. The part of Creon, king of Thebes, was well portrayed by Baron DeLouis. Robert Richards as Haemon, son of Creon and lover of Antigone, deserves commendation. Fred Hawkins in the role of the aged seer, Teiresias, won merited applause. The parts of Ismene, sister of Antigone, and Eurydice, wife of Creon, were capably taken by Elizabeth Winn and Marguerite Klinefelter respectively. Robert Heaton as the guard and Nathaniel Soderberg and William Misslewitz as messengers also deserve credit. Credit for the remarkable success of “Antigone” belongs to Miss Cecile Burton, director of the play, and Miss Nellie Stewart, who directed the chorus.

A close order drill by the local rifle team was the contribution made by Central to the Circus. The Central girls’ gymnasium depariment furnished a dance selection as one of the numbers on the program. The other Kansas City high schools each had a large part on the program which they filled in commendable fashion. A four minute platoon drill without commands was given by the Northeast senior high school military department. A picturesque American quadrille was presented by the girls’ gymnasium class of Manual and the Manual cadets. Attired in white sailor suits a squad of girls from Northeast presented a series of military drills. Westport cadets offered a guard mounting exhibition while the Manual bovs participated in a sham battle. [ 189 ] 1ST PLATOON, COMPANY A BackRow: Sergeant Simon. Robeson. Bowen, Morris. Nelson.

During this, more than a half a century, there have keen many changes —changes that have aways been forward and upward, ever establishing and upholding the Central spirit, worthy standards, and high purposes, ever adding new glory and renown to our school. It was in a rented two-story brick building on the southeast corner of Eleventh and Locust streets with a gymnasium consisting of a hickory turning pole in the back yard that Central High School began its career in September 1867, with an enrollment of four pupils. D. J. Brad'ey was alike principal, teacher, guide, and friend of this quartet. In 1868 the property was purchased by the Board of Education for $5,882. Two years later. Mr. Bradley was succeeded by W. G. Pratt. It was early in the ’70’s that a newspaper attack on the directors of the high school was waged which some years later resulted in the origin of the name Central. Until that time the school had been called the Kansas City High School or merely “the high school.” The newspapers in their denunciations charged that there was no need of the school, declaring that it was a school only for the children of the rich and particularly objecting to the adjective “high.” So at last, in deference to a supposed public sentiment, the name was changed to “Central School,” but in later years the word “high” was interpolated. In 1872, overcrowded conditions necessitated the erection of a three story frame building just south of the high school and joined to it by a passageway then called the “rope walk.” The faculty was composed of two teachers, in 1873, when C. S. Sheffield became principal. That same year the first class was graduated from Central. It was composed of four girls and one boy. Two of the girls had finished their work in 1872 but since there were no exercises that year they joined the other three in ’73. The program was held at the Coates Opera House before a large crowd of citizens. For three years these two buildings served the need of the rapidly growing school, but then further enlargement was necessary. So the frame structure was supplanted by a brick addition on the south and east, making a total of nine rooms. The following year Professor E. C. White became director of Central’s destiny. When he assumed control there were five teachers, and eleven years later when he resigned, the faculty had doubled in number. [ 193 ] iii[cyi!Oiio;imi Meanwhile the Board of Education had met the urgent need for larger quarters by erecting, in 1884, a three-story brick structure on the south end of the school property. There were then five classrooms on each of the two lower floors, and the third floor was given over to an auditorium. The school had been planned to accommodate five hundred pupils but was made to serve the needs of seven hundred for several years. In 1882 the K.C.H.S. Debating Society had been organized and it was in 1885, at the suggestion of one of the eight teachers, then at Central, that the Debating Society undertook to edit and publish a school magazine. A search for a suitable name resulted in this suggestion from another faculty member: “It is to be the bright and shining light of the high school, and hence I would call it ‘The Central Luminary’.” And so the Luminary made its appearance in December, coverless, dateless, printed on cheap paper, with only eleven pages and six advertisements. In 1886 some of the male members of the K.C.H.S. Debating Society withdrew and organized the Platonian Society for boys, which captured the magazine and put it on a firm basis. Later, when in 1887 the debating club had reorganized into the Central Literary Society, and when the Philo-mathean Society had been created for girls, the Luminary was published jointly by Central’s three literary clubs. J. T. Buchanan, previously principal of the Franklin school, was appointed as Professor White’s successor, in 1887. When school opened in the fall of 1891, one thousand pupils were clamoring for admittance and in the following April the people of Kansas City met the emergency by voting $100,000 for a new high school building. In the same year Central organized its first football team. This was the first sport to hold a place in the life of the school. In 1892 the Society of Literature and History was added to the roster of Central clubs. In 1893 the new building was completed and on December 5, dedication ceremonies were held. The structure was of Romanesque design, with three stories and a basement. It was separated from the original building by a court and connected by enclosed passageways on each floor. The school then contained forty-two rooms. That year the number of graduates passed the one hundred mark for the first time. In 1895 the first baseball team was organized among the boys of the school, this being the second athletic sport to claim the interest of the students. In 1897 Mr. Buchanan resigned and Prof. E. C. White was re-elected to the position that he had previously filled. The year following, the Glee Club was organized among the boys of the school, marking the school’s entrance into yet another field. In 1899 the Luminary instituted the custom of making its last issue a year book. This became the first Centralian. In the same year Central also won seven of the nine football games in which she participated. The year 1900 gave Central the football championship of this part of the country, as well as a very successful season in baseball. The first school or- [ 195 I chestra was also organized in November of that year. In 1901 Professor White resigned the principalship which was then given to I. I. Cammack. In October, the Aristonian Literary Society was organized by a group of girls of the school and one month later it was followed by the Central Webster Club for boys. Basketball was initiated into the athletic activities at Central in 1902 and a fairly successful season concluded in this a”.d football. In 1903 the Luminary was edited under a new regime, being published by twelve students selected by the school at large. The Centralian was also increased in size and greatly improved. A charter setting forth definite standards for membership was introduced into the literary societ'es early in the fall. The Central Literary Society and the Platonians found these limitations objectionable and disbanded, to be followed by the Philo-matheans the next year. The organization of the Central Shakespeare Club in 1904, however, increased the number of remaining literary societies to four. The Missouri Valley championship in both football and basketball were the achievements of Central athletes in 1905. An unusual success was also attained in track. For the first time, Central boys participated in a debate, resulting, however, in a defeat at the hands of the Liberty High School. The Kelvin K'ub was organized this year by a group of boys interested in scientific studies. The next year the Minerva Literary Society came into existence making the secord girls’ club of the school. In 1907, the Classics Club was organized for the students of Latin. The need for more space was again apparent in 1908 and a three story brick addition was erected on the east, at a cost of $100,000. The old building was remodeled and repaired, a lunchroom and gymnasium being the newest conveniences. A greenhouse was built on the roof for the laboratory use of botany students. This was the first such laboratory for school botanists in the entire country. In 1909, after a quite successful season, football was discontinued as a high school sport. Success attended Central’s efforts in basketball and a championship was won in baseball. The latter sport was also discontinued the following year and has never again held a place in the athletic curriculum of Kansas City high schools. In basketball and track the Central team won many victories in 1910. The Choral Club was given a place among Central organizations that year. I. I. Cammack, who had served Central as principal for ten years accepted a position as superintendent of Kansas Citv schools in 1911 and was succeeded by E. M. Bainter, who had previously been vice-principal. It was in this year that the first agitation for moving Central to a southeast location was begun. Central’s basketball team in 1911 tied with Westport for the championship while the Blue and White track men concluded a number of meets successfully. The bovs’ debate teams became possessors of the Amherst trophy which had been offered to the Kansas City high schools. 1886 [ 196 ] The following year Central and Westport again emerged from the basketball season in a tie for first place. Central, however, felt herself virtually victor, for her basketeers had decisively defeated the Westport five on two occasions. Once more victory came to the Blue and White athletes on track and field, for Central surrendered only one meet to her opponents. It was in May 1912, that the Board of Education, hard pressed by southeast patrons, definitely decided to erect a southeast high school, ar.d on September 5 the site at the corner of Thirty-third and Indiana streets was purchased for $42,500. II. II. Holmes became principal of Central in June 1912, taking the position left vacant by the resignation of E. M. Bainter. In 1913 Central won an undisputed court championship, Louis Menze being at that time captain of the basketball team. Central also emerged victorious from the annual debate battle in ’13. On February 1, Charles Smith submitted the drawing of Central to the Board of Education. It was at that time thought that the new school would be known as the Southeast High School, but later in February the Board voted to take the name Central away from the institution, which has so long stood at Eleventh and Locust, and bestow it upon the building in the southeast district. It was then thought that Old Central would be transformed into a trade school with a new name. The following year Central again shared honors in basketball, only this time both Westport and Manual became members of the championshipholding concern. An unusually successful season in track followed. J. U. Young took up his duties of coach at Central in 1914. On November 12, 1915, the new Central High School building was formally opened. Those on the program were nearly all alumni. Tha new structure cost more than $500,000. The year 1915 began a series of unprecedented basketball successes, for in that year the Central team suffered not a single defeat in all of the nine games played. The Art Club became the latest addition to Central organizations in 1915. The first debate for girls was held the same year, Central’s girl representatives winning one and losing one, of their contests. In 1916 the Central basketball quintet won eight victories in the eight league games played, no Kansas City high school being able to successfully score against the Blue and White. The following year an undefeated team, again represented Central, chalking up eleven victories to its credit. Again in debate the girls had one victory and one defeat while the boys’ championship went to Northeast. The year 1917 marked Central’s fiftieth anniversary. For a full ha'f century she had stood as Kansas City’s leading institution of learning. She had successfully encoun- t 197 ] tered hardships and difficulties always sustained by the never failing Central Spirit. Both victory and defeat had been met, both with equally good sportsmanship. Five thousand students had been sent out from her portals better equipped to meet the trials of life because ot the training they had received and because of the spirit of Central that lived always in their hearts. And now, as she stood serene and proud, after fifty years of these varied experiences, it was indeed a time for celebration. So June 4 to June 8, a full week, was kept as the “Golden Jubilee.” All during the week fifty rose colored lanterns hung from the balcony, one for each year of the school’s life. Monday, June 4, Shakespeare’s “Tempest” was twice presented in the assembly by students of the school. Tuesday was Patrons’ Day. Moving pictures were presented in the afternoon, and in the evening a reception was held in the gymnasium. It was here that the beautiful and spectacular “Procession of the Years” was presented, depicting in symbolic pantomime, Alma Mater as she reflected upon her glorious past and looked forward to the hope and promise of the future. Alma Mater was represented by Mrs. E. P. Moriarty of the class of 1904. She was attended by the Fifty Years represented by as many Central girls and fifty boys, who bore the trophies won by the school during her illustrious past. Other students represented Victory, Memory, Joy, Service, and Hope. Memory told of the victories of the past as expressed in Victory, Joy, and Service, and Hope appeared, prophetic of the beauty and continued success of the future. How simply and effectively this pageant called to mind, the things for which Central had always stood and shall forever strive to uphold. On Wednesday, games and drills on the athletic field were the features of the afternoon, while the junior “prom” was held in the evening. Thursday was alumni day and the program followed that of Tuesday, “The Processional of the Years” being repeated in the evening. Friday was commencement day, at which time nearly two hundred students were graduated. This concluded the “Jubilee” which shall always be remembered as one of the brightest occasions in Central’s history. In 1918 Central again produced a quintet of basketball players unsurpassed by the other high schools, and won all of the league games. When the track season arrived, the Blue and White won in every event in the K.C.A.C. meet, came first in the M.U.-K.U. competition, and won the quadrangular meet between the four Kansas City high schools. Central’s boys also came to the fore once more in debate and won the city title and the Amherst cup. Enlarged enrollment made it necessary, in 1919, to divide the school into morning and afternoon sessions. For two or three years previous, the seventh giade pupils of the Linwood, Ladd, and Horace Mann schools had been housed in the t 198 ] Central building, while remaining, however, under the direction of their elementary schools and Mr. George Melcher, assistant superintendent of schools, in ’19 pupils from the seventh grade classes of any of the ward schools in the Central district were permitted to take their course at Central, attending in the afternoon along with the freshman class. Thus the junior high school came into existence and Mr. Henry King, formerly head of the Ashland school, became principal of the new afternoon school. Football was again accorded a place in inter-scholastic athletics, in 1919, after a lapse of twelve years. The season was not completed, however, on account of the “flu.” Central had up to the time, won one of the two games played. The basketball team was successful in the first three games of the season, thus making a total of thirty-seven successive victories, as well as two state championships won by Central cagers under the tutelage of J. U. Young, an enviable and as yet unequalled record. The season ended with Central, Westport, and Northeast in a triple tie, which was ultimately decided on a technicality, giving Westport first; Central, second; and Northeast, third. Moderate success was achieved in football, in 1920, with a record of two games won, two lost, and four tied. Pronounced good fortune attended Central track teams, who won “everything in sight.” This year marked the advent of Louis E. Menze, himself an alumnus and athlete of Central, as coach of athletics. Both the boys’ and girls’ debate teams that year received one victory and one defeat by the decision of the judges. In November, 1920, the Thalian Literary Society made its debut as a club for girls and the next month the organization of the Central Franklin Club increased the number of boys’ societies to two. The year 1920 was also a sad one in Central’s history, for on January 30, death came to Professor H. H. Holmes, who had served Central faithfully as principal for eight years and who was beloved alike by teachers and students. His place was taken, and has been filled with utmost success by Mr. Otto F. Dubach who, like Mr. Holmes, has endeared himself to all students of Central who have come under his friendly guidance and helpful influence. In the summer of the same year, Mr. J. L. Laughlin was elected to the vice-principalship. In this capacity, he has served the school, its organizations, and its students in innumerable ways and has come to hold a high place in the regard of Centralites. Shortly after Principal Holmes’ death, a campaign was begun among the students for funds with which to build an athletic field to be a memorial to their principal and friend. The students contributed sixteen hundred dollars in this campaign, which with the interest, now amounts to two thousand dollars. When the 1921 football season opened, fifty men, including nine letter men, tried for berths on the team. From this excellent material, a Blue and White team was developed which succeeded in winning the league championship. Central track men won first place in the K.C.A.C. indoor meet and ranked second in the M.U.-K.U. meet. The juniors were victorious in the Central inter-class competition. In the field of debate the boys tied with Northeast for the championship. The Trouvere Music Society was listed among Central clubs for the first time in 1921. That year the drama department presented “Strong- [ 199 ] heart” as the annual play with flattering success on three nights. A record year in athletics was Central’s in ’22. A city championship in football was the first achievement of Coach Menze’s prodigies, who lost not one game of the eight games in which they participated. Basketball season brought with it not only the league title but the State championship as well, with a record of twelve victories and three defeats. The K.C.A.C. track meet netted Central first place as did the M.U.-K.U. event. Manual also suffered at the hands of the Blue and White in their dual meet by a score of 61-24. On January 14, 1922, eight acres of ground just east of the school was purchased for the Memorial Athletic Stadium. During the same year a three story annex was erected at the southeast of the school to accommodate the rapidly growing enrollment. This was ready for occupancy in the late spring of 1922. The first Student Council was elected and took up its duties as an organization for the expression of student opinion and the enactment of laws governing the student body in 1922. From that time forward the Student Council has occupied a position of ever-increasing importance and responsibility in Central, and the same year the girls formed a swimming club, the Sea Gulls. Two new organizations also came forward to claim places in Central student life during that year, the Thucydides History Club and the Gregg Writers. “The Tailor-Made Man,” Central’s twenty-ninth annual play, afforded rare entertainment to capacity audiences on each of its three presentations. It was directed by Miss Effie Mae Epton, whose seven years as head of the expression department of Central were attended by remarkable success which was ended only by her untimely death in June, 1923. “Come Out of the Kitchen,” and “The Dragon,” each presented on two nights by Miss Anna McCoy Francis and Miss Virginia Robertson, respectively, further increased Central’s dramatic fame. In 1922 the number of graduates totaled 422. “Nothing But the Truth” received much highly favorable comment as the Thanksgiving play, while “The Fourth Estate” upheld in every respect the high standards set by the Central dramatic productions that had preceded it. For the third time in as many years the football pennant flew resplendent with the name of Central in 1923. Basketball, however, found Central holding second place in the league. The Luminary brought new glory to Central’s name by l eing recognized by the Central Interscholastic Press Association as the best high school newspaper in the United States. Competition in boys’ debate resulted in victory for only the negative team, the championship remaining in Westport’s possession. Some of Central’s “ardent rooters,” among the hoys, organized the Pep Demons. Basketball season brought revenge, however, for the Central cagers won eleven victories with but two defeats to mar their record and the loving cup was delivered with the name Central engraved on it. In the fall of 1924, the Board of Education, pressed by Central patrons, decided to erect a junior high school building at Linwood and Bales, just [ 200 ] east of the site of the proposed stadium, and its construction was begun during that year. The Gilbert and Sullivan opera, “The Mikado,” which was presented in 1 J22, was repeated in 1923 with increased success. Hopes for the 1924 football championship were not abandoned until the sixth and final game of the series. Even then, Central was reduced to second place only because Northeast lost to the pennant-winning Manual-ites, the Blue and White gridsters having battled the Crimson athletes to a scoreless tie on two occasions. Because of a great lack of material, Central placed low in all of the track meets. The boys’ debate was one of the most thrilling argumentative battles ever waged. Central and Manual emerged from the first contests, each with two victoiies to their credit. The two well-equipped teams from both schools met to engage in verbal combat the following night, and again Central met success in both debates, then being able to claim the Amherst trophy as her rightful possession. Several interesting and successful productions upheld Central’s traditional supremacy in the field of drama. Three cne-act plays, “Dust of the Hoad,” “The Ghost Story,” and “The Romancers” were presented in the early winter as a recognition service for the late Miss Effie Epton and Mr. A. F. Smith. “Mr. Pirn Passes By,” under the direction of Miss Virginia Robertson, was excellently presented as the annual play, and “Miss Somebody Else,” directed by Miss Anna McCoy Francis, was well received by the large audiences which witnessed it. Furthermore, “Pinafore” attained marked success both as a musical and dramatic production. Miss Mari F. Whitney was director of this entertainment given by the Choral and Glee clubs. More than five hundred students were members of the class which was graduated from Central in 1924. The present year, 1925, has been one filled with successes in many fields. Never has Central attained greater honor, more worthwhile achievements. Nineteen twenty-five stands out as one of the greatest years in the history of our school. The story of this year it is the purpose of this Centralian to record. Thus we find the history of Central to be that of the growth of a great educational institution, ever enlarging, ever progressing, ever seeking nobler attainments. Her’s is a record to be proud of, to fill with joy the hearts of the thousands who call Central their Alma Mater, or who have at any time been one of the throng of students who sing, “Dear old Central, far-famed Central.” But, as in the beautiful pageant of 1917, Alma Mater is looking forward to a yet more glorious future. There are yet other changes to undergo, new problems to be solved. Yes, there are greater victories to be attained, perhaps, too, harder defeats to be endured. Yet for all these, let the record of the past be but an incentive, compelling us to work and do for Central those things which shall uphold her supremacy. Let its memory by an inspiration which shall ever fan the Central spirit into a brightly burning flame within the hearts of all. FINIS.

[ 242 ] For a Clear Skin USE Tor Everybody Everywhere-Everyday [ 243 ] Afipmiation It is fitting that recognition be given in the annual to the art department, at Central, and to the students in it who have aided materially in the production of this book. This department, which is under the direction of Miss Delle Miller and Miss Coah Henry, especially deserves credit for giving the training that enables students to do the kind of work which appears in these pages. It is of the exce'lence that commercial work shows. Several of Miss Miller's students were responsible for all of this work. Gale Stockwell, the art editor of the annual, did all of the colored inserts, the six black and white section pages, the drawing that appears opposite the dedication, and the cover page design. His work is absolutely original and he deserves especial credit for working out an unified idea. The design on the opening pages and border of the colored inserts was the work of Hattie Harrison, the assistant art editor. The end page des:gns inside the cover were done by Laura Jane Everhart, whose work won for her t.he position of assistant to the two art editors. Harry Werner lettered the tab'e of contents, Lincoln Bury, the dedication, and Lionel Savage and Aaron Hansen were responsible for the foreword. OUR ADVERTISERS The advertisers in this book consist of merchants, business organizations, and professional people who seek and receive the patronage of Central students, fj These advertisers are not believers in a one-sided bargain; to merit student patronage they are supporting student institutions. For this reason these advertisers deserve support.
