Y - I K Sixty-seven years ago, a little high school was founded in Kansas City by a group of men and Women who realized that the education of youth is the prime responsi- bility of a communityfthat material growth must be attended by esthetic progress. From this modest start, the Central of 1934 has developed. The achievements of her students have vvon for Central an honored place among institutions of learning. States- men, doctors, lawyers, artists, musicians-men and women from all Walks of life- claim Central as their Alma Mater and cherish her memory with the birth of their ambitions and dreams. Travelers tell us of a point in ireland where the rays of the rising and setting suns mingle. We purpose to malce our book such a point, where memories of the Worth and vvorlt of students of the past may mingle with the mystic rays which forecast events of the future. It our book causes Central students to reflect with gratitude upon the founders of our school and to appreciate their influence upon the youth of the future, it will have attained its purpose. Among the public-spirited citizens who were instrumental in founding Central were l-lenry C. Kumpf and E. l-l. Spaulding. .ff ,,.v 1 t , S ,, HK as ,g qv F fi , sh fi :-' If .ga .. ,: , . ,ii 'ti i 5- V ig ff! Y ,- ,V , .f ,J ,,.,- i2 1E-.QV-11' iT5w,,g- jgt,E:5-::21- , fdflwt I f '51 f.. -f. 1 6 ...

'fr' Tl-IE HISTORY CF CENTRAL ILLUSTRATES THE GRCWTH CF POPULAR EDUCATICN Indeed, we should be proud to call Central our Alma Ivlaterl The name, Central, symbolizes all the progressive and pioneering spirit of education which was victorious in the end in spite of the tremendous odds of ignorance and prejudice it faced in the beginning. Against serious opposition, Central rose to he ranked as one of the tirst schools for higher learning in Missouri. Its growth and expansion is the story ot' the advancement of education by means of the public school system from its very start to its wide extent and influence ofthe present time. In the days when there was a crude system of education, Central was likewise crudely established, having been so in 1867 in compliance with a law of Iviissouri. prof viding for free public schools. Its lodging was a twofroom brick building on the south' east corner of Eleventh and Locust Streets. Mr. -T. R. Bradley, principal, and two teachers presided over a class, which started with an enrollment of four pupils. The entire gym facilities consisted of a turning pole for the boys and that interesting sport, the playing .5 ' at 'W il Haifa-if Aj I tg. W. G. Pratt succeeded Mr, Bradley and served until 1 -i . July, 1873. l-lis assistant was lVliss lVlary l-larmon Mrs. f IQ E. R. Weelcs. Since she was only eighteen years old, her ' tif. A J i': , , 'ff 4' Q . age was not to be told. She taught nine branches ol learning. 'if' pu i..i ,, fiat I A l f lVlrs. Weelts resigned in 1887. ln 1889 Central had three hundred students and ten teachers. i7l The C67Zf1'!lfl:6l72 1934 Mr. C l. Sheffield, the third principal, assumed office on July 8, 1873. l'le served until May, 1876. ofa lteanbag game, for the girls. It was necessary for the graduation exercises to be held in the old Coates Cpera House. Thus we observe the infancy of the school system in the poor lodging, inconveniences, and small personnel of early Central. With the continual increase of interest in education the School Board began to prosper and was able to provide more extensively for learning facilities. Thus, in 1872, a onefstory frame structure of three rooms, just south of the original building, was pressed into service. This began a series of additions, improvements and new buildings. In the fall of the next year a new principal, Mi'. C. I. Sheffield, came to Central. During his period in ofiice the frame building was used, but on Mr. E. C. White's taking ofiice it was removed. During this time Central was rapidly outgrowing its small lodgings and every few years it was necessary to make additions or to put up new buildings. In 1875 a brick addition was built on the first structure, making then a total of nine rooms. In 1884 a threefstory brick building was erected on the south end of the lot. It was seventyffour feet square. There were five classrooms on each of the first two floors and wide halls running the entire length of the floor. The third floor consisted of an auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred. It was then that Mr. J. J. Buchanan took over the principalship of the school. During his term another bigger building was constructed. But before this new edifice Mr. E. C White succeeded Mr. Sheffield on May 15, 1886, and resigned his office September 7, 1887, to assume it again on May 17, 1897, for a term of four years. The school year was increased from nine to ten months in 1904. IS I The Cenfrfzlifzlz 1934 Next lVlr. J. J. Buchanan undertoolc the principalship. l-lis term expired on lVlay17, 1897. was put up, the other structure was altered. Eight rooms were added to the west side of it, and three large class rooms were made out of the assembly hall. In 1891 S100,000 was voted for the new building. The edifice, which was on the north end of the lot, was completed in 1893. It was separated from the original building by courts forty feet in width. It was made up of three floors and a basement. There was a large assembly hall with a seating capacity of seventeen hundred, and altogether there was a total of forty' three recitation rooms. In these improvements we have positive proof of the growing appeal of public education and the increase of the influence of the School Board. But the consummation of the power of public school system is illustrated in the moving of Central to its present beautiful location, in the building of Central junior High School, and in the construction of the Holmes Memorial Field. In 1915 Central was transplanted and became the extensive temple of learning that it is today. Shortly after this its ever increase ing enrollment made necessary the erection of the Junior High. This building is one of the most modern and convenient in Kansas City. It has the distinction also of being the longest structure in the city. The construction of the football field, named in honor of the principal, Mr. Holmes, who first started agitation for this end, followed. Thus from tracing Central from lodging to lodging and in a review of its history, we are able to see the cause for public education as it steadily grew stronger and as it finally completely triumphed over all of the early opposition. Mr. l. l. Cammaclc next became the head ol Central. l'le resigned on July 6, 1911, to become assistant superintendent. ln 1909 a training school for teachers was established in Central. This was a one-year course. ill' The Celzfrfzliezfz 1934 Mr. E. Nl. Bainter, alter serving only one year, resigned in June, 1912 to become Commissioner ol Education in Porto Rico. Mr. Qtto F, Dubacli became principal in 1990 and lwas served continuously in tlwat capacity. ln tlwe lourteen years ol liis able leaderslwip, Central nas progressed tremendously in grovvtlw of enroll- ment and achievements.

TC CENTRAL By EVA GASTON The time of year has come when roses bloom, When junels great golden moon looks down to see The beauty of this graduation night. O, Central, we must say farewell to thee! The curtain falls . .. . and that June night is goneg But in some future hour it shall rise And ripple with the same majestic folds, As if they touched the same immortal skies. When I greet the dawn of that tomorrow, When past thoughts are lost in life's new melodies . And after twilight fades into starlight . O, dreams shall carry valiant memories! Miss Anna E. Wolfson won second prize in the Gentle Reader Sonnet Contest conducted by WDAF. The title of her Sonnet is The Goddess ol Mercy. l51l I The C'enI1r'zzlizzn 1934 SENICI2 WILL Know all men by these presents and all whom these presents concern that we, the class of 1934 of Central High School, the city of Kansas City, the county of jackson and the state of Missouri, being sound of body and short of memory, realizing that soon we shall leave the portals of our dear old Alma Mater, wish to set forth on this page our last will and testament for the Hnal settlement of our worldly burdens in this great institution of learning. Item 1. To Mr. Otto F. Dubach we leave some sturdy police whistles to quiet the angry mob at football and basketball games. Item 2. To Mr. J. Lyman Laughlin we will a book of famous and selected debates to force upon the literary societies. Item 3. To the faculty we leave a bundle of rules for the discomfort of students, such as no gum chewing, ad infinitum. Item 4. To the Juniors we leave battlefaxes and other weapons so they will have more fun fighting over oilicers and sponsors. Item 5. To the Sophomores we leave the sophistication of the Juniors. Item 6. To the Minervas we leave a book on etiquette so they will better know how to act in public. Item 7. To the Thalians we bequeath three dozen of the hnest knitting needles available. When the needles fly the tongues will wagf' Item 8. We leave to the Websters four dozen red rompers, so they may horse around without soiling their lilyfwhite sweaters. Item 9. We bequeath to the Delphians a wagonload of stationery so they will have plenty with which to write their unaccepted bids Chow numerous lj. Item 10. To the Emersons we leave the choice of the Delphians and Slaches for a sister club. Delphians would be a pleasing contrast, while Slaches are just the type. Item 11. We leave to the Slaches a small sum to help pay for singing lessons. They'll need it. Item 12. To the Aristonians we leave some roller skates and urge that they use them in the future. Item 13. To our old pals, the Franklins, we bequeath a book of jokes in hopes that they will spring some new ones sometime. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class, have hereunto subscribed our name and afhxed our seal this first day of April, nineteen hundred and thirtyffour, anno domini. In conclusion, whereof, we hereby appoint as executor and executrix of this, our last will and testament, Mr. H. H. Oldendick Cto decompose this willj and Miss EtheID. Wynne Qto translate the numerous Latin phrases hereinj. THE SENIOR CLASS, Per Marcella Hedges. Not only were the grades and attendance of each early graduate recorclecl, but also the school kept the date ancl place of each pupil's birth with a brief bit oi family history. l52l The Centwzlian 1934 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 1934, feel that as a group we have done our part, during the past three years, toward making Central High School the outstanding institution that it is today. We have marched into battle carrying our banners high and have more than a few times come out the victors, bringing honor to our school. Class officers may come and go but we shall not remember them by the ofhces that they held. We shall recall them in later years as the outstanding personalities of our class, whose initiative has made them the dominating characters of the group. The officers of our freshman year have proved their merit by retaining their popuf larity with their classmates. Nadine Flinn, Glen Whitaker and Wilda Tanner were our most outstanding freshmen. Our sophomore year gave us no officers, but it served to bring to the light many who were elected later to both junior and senior ballots. Among these was Delia Dunsworth, who headed the list in 1932453 as junior president. Glen Whitaker, Jean Bush, Nadine Flinn, Eugene Brownson, Mildred Dornblaser, Gwen Soper and Herman Rothschild served as aides. During our junior year Marguerite Young and Lucena jaegar brought laurels to Central by winning third place in the Jefferson Contest and Brst prize in a statefwide Tuberculosis Contest. When the senior year rolled around, Delia Dunsworth again proved her popularity by being elected to the highest possible ollice, senior president. The other officers elected were Glen Whitaker, Jean Bush, Eugene Brownson, Nadine Flinn, Mildred Dornblaser, Herman Rothschild and Gwendolyn Soper. The most outstanding event of the year was, of course, the winning of the interscholastic league football championship by the Blue Eagles. As every other class, we had our preferences for the most popular, and the most active boy and girl, etc., so we elected our senior ballot. From the distinctions that our class has helped to bestow upon Central, and from the fact that we have always loyally upheld her name, it can easily be seen that we have lived up to the old Central traditions, and have set a pace which succeeding classes will have diihculty to keep. Each senior feels a pang of regret at leaving Central, where the happiest moments of his life have been spent for the past three years. However, we must not see it in that light too much as it is too sad. May the thought of Central ever inspire our memories! Here's a toast to our Alma Mater! The oldest record we have of Central students is a ledger which contains information about the graduating classes from 1879 to 'l875. l53l JACK LANG The C67Zf1'dli617Z 1934 MID-YEAR CLASS ADA BLACKWELL As football player, made AllfStarg ln all acti1'1tie.r he ventured far.

Q4 - r i . fm THE Jursuoia crass or1Q33-1Q34 WW ,mi The junior Class has tried to meet every request of the faculty, Student Council X and other worthy school organizations during its two years in Central Senior. It likewise did more than its share of honorable work in Central junior. T l This class has many students who have done outstanding work to uphold the A reputation of their school. Among these are the following ofhcers of the Freshman Class: james Keyes, president, Jean Martin, vicefpresidentg Howard Bayne, secretary, Juanita Mangold, treasurer. These leaders strive for the good of their class. During the sophomore year nothing particularly outstanding was achieved, but the class was very promising. The past year it has set a noteworthy example for the sophomores, who will have a hard task trying to live up to the high standards of the outgoing Junior Class. The juniors elected for president, Mildred Vanderhoof, and for her aides, james Keyes, Emily Fountain, Mary Elizabeth Moran, Jean Martin, Gerald Robinson, Earl Waite and Roy Beach. Many students excelled in athletics and will do their best to bring honor to Central. Others have earned medals and other merits in different contests. Next year the members of this class will be seniors and will lead the school in accom' plishing greater things. They hope they will become renowned for their leadership and success in everything they undertake. The class of 1935 should realize the importance of one of Mr. Laughlin's sayings, The Spirit of Central, not the gain or the glory of one, but the good of all. The members of the Luminary Staff used to be elected from the school at large. How- ever, only those pupils who had a high grade average could be nominated. l56l The Centralian 1934 Abraham, Bernard Adams, Edward Adams, Lorine Addington, Bill Adelman, Isadore Adelstein, Bill Agron, Rena Agron, Sarah Ambrose, Vance Anderson, Kenneth Anderson, William Anglin, Robert Anselm, Lois Anthes, Louis J.

The torch of knowledge gleams over the significant letters nC,i' Sf L and NS, which stand for character, service, leader' ship, and scholarship, the requisites for membership. Character refers to those inward traits which constitutes one's whole mental makefup. The wellfrounded student has served his school as an officer, or perhaps on the staff of its publications, or on an athletic team. He has been a leader in his classg he has demonstrated his initiative in both class' room and social life. And finally, he has sincerely sought knowledge with honest enthuf siasm and an open mind. The National Honor Society, as its name implies, is a nationfwide organization, whose aim is to widen interest in school life in the secondary schools of America. Member' ship is based on the number of scholastic points, plus the number of honor points, which are strictly limited. Only the upper quarter of the senior class is eligible, and only ten per cent of those receiving diplomas may belong to the society. A faculty committee chooses students who are eligible, taking into consideration their previous conduct. This year only those students who had an average of at least three points were considered. The worth of the National Honor Society is undeniable, for it encourages the under' classmen to use that ancient adage, Ad astra per ardua, and strive ever for higher goals. Gold medals used to be awarded for perfect attendance records of no absences or tardies throughout high school.

With a burst of music, the contestants marched in lustily, singing their standard songs and revealing a variety of bright new dresses and suitsfdark secrets for so long! A round of lively uslam songs were followed by a program of interesting declamations, An amusing stunt was presented by the Aristonians, in which representatives of the clubs were seen upon the occasion of their arrival in Heaven guarded by Saint Peter. The moment had arrivedfthe culmination of months of labor and suspense. Mr. Dubach paced to the center of the stage, in order to announce the winners of the various events. Verse winners were announced first, and the Thalians, Minervas, and Slaches broke into frenzied cheers as their medal pinners raced to the stage towing Ella Faris, winner of the bronze medal, Naomi Davis, winner of the silver medal, and Mary Ellen Brink, the excited possessor of first place and the gold medal. When the essay results were announced the Websters found Charles E. Lewis, the winner of the bronze medal. Mary Elizabeth Moran placed second for the Minervas, and Lucena Jaeger won the gold medal for the Thalians. Donald Brown, an Emerson, received the bronze medal for story. The Thalians placed again when Elva Ottman won the silver medal, and the Franklins began their triumphant march toward the cup when James Bradneld received the gold medal. The Delphians cheered as Ruth Maloy won third place with her oration. Marguerite Young, an Aristonian, won the silver medal, and Lillian Levich, the Minerva representaf tive, received the gold award. The Minerva, Margaret Lee, won third place in extemporaneous speaking. The Emersons placed second with Robert Jolliff, and the Franklins again won a gold medal when Jack Dailey placed hrst. In the declamations, Mildred Vanderhoof received third place for the Aristonians, while Pearl Test, a Delphian, won the silver medal. Jimmie Coy won the gold medal, which gave the Eranklins the points they needed to win the cup. Amid rousing cheers, the Franklins rushed to the stage to receive the Intersociety Contest! cup, thus winning the Fortyfeighth Intersociety Contest of Central. Intersociety contests were begun in 1903, when the Board of Education granted the privilege oi having a pay entertainment. E811 The Centralian 1934 I-IISTGRY CDF INTERSCCIETV To the clubs, the biggest event of the year is the holding of the annual Intersociety. From the beginning of school they are looking forward and preparing for it. This contest enables them to match their literary skill against each other. The spirit of competition and club rivalry is always very high, for the winner is the best club of the year. Very good literary pieces are created. Thus, in many ways, it is the highest point of the year, and it brings with it many benefits. Without lntersociety to spur the clubs on to greater achievements, there would be an immeasurable loss in their foremost aim, literary accomplishment. The Interscciety Contests originated in 1886, way back in the early days of Central. The spirit of rivalry suggested the holding of annual contests between the High School Debating Scciety and the Platcnian Society. The events consisted of debate, pcem, story, essay, oraticn, and declamation. The struggles for superiority continued between these two clubs for several years until the faculty demanded that the Philo Society and the Scciety of Literature and History be admitted in the competition. In those days a spirit of exclusion existed. The two older clubs refused to comply with the faculty's demand. This resulted in the discontinuance of Intersocieties until 1903. At this time, newer societies had been organized, which did not believe in the idea of excluf sion, and from then to the present time all literary societies have been allowed to participate. The events have remained the same with the exception of the substitution of extemf poraneous speaking for debate. Every one of the clubs has had its share of victories in Intersociety, but each hopes for more than that. For the achievement of this end, the members are drilled in the arts of literary composition and of verbal expression. Teachers are invited to lecture on the preparation of orations and essays. A regular program is presented at each meeting. This consists of the original writings and creations of the members. By means of these things the members are given valuable practice for their work in Intersociety. Thus, through this help in practice, and their regular course in English, many become proficient. The Central Webster Club has always stood higher than the other clubs by virtue of the many Intersocieties it has won. But it is hardly fair to compare this record with those of most of the present societies, for many of them have only recently been organized and, of course, have not had enough time to equal the high standard set by the Websters. The recent contests have been close struggles and the Websters will surely have to work hard to maintain their superiority. The three literary societies taking part in the first intersociety Were: The Society of Literature and History, Aristonian Literary Society, and the Central Webster Club. The contest was won by S. l.. l-l. I8-'ll YE a J H The Centralian 1934 k i S STUDENT COUNCIL FIRST TERM Back Row: Gerye, Miller, Jenkins, Walker, Ryan, Wilson.

The colors are blue and white, and the emblem is a blue triangle with G. H. in the center. Miss Compton is the advisor. Two pupils Finished school in 1872, but as the class was so small, they were obliged to return the following year and take part in the graduating exercises Ol the First class to be graduated officially and publicly.

A movement to give the students of zoology a fuller knowledge of the science and at the same time to furnish them entertainment, caused the founding of the Zoology Glub in November, 1929. In regular class work these students perhaps may receive but a sketchy view of zoology, but in the club all points of the science are gone into in detail and discussed thoroughly. At the meetings films are shown and there are instructive lectures given by interesting speakers. The club has played an important part in the lives of the students, widening their ideas about Zoology. At the present time there is a total of two hundred and four members. Mr. Hann, instructor in Zoology, acts as the advisor. W. G. Pratt, the principal in 1869-1873, lived on a farm on independence Avenue, He drove a big bay horse to school, which he prodded with a nail tipped stick. l97l The Cerzlraliafz 1934 SPANISH CLUB Back Row: Norris, Cummer.

CUMMER NORRIS El Circulo Espanol is organized for the purpose of furthering the Spanish language in Central High School. To encourage translation, speech, and forms of Spanish parliaf mentary law are the further aims of this body. The annual Fiesta of Spain was presented this year in December by the club in conjunction with the Spanish department. Over thirty members of the department took part in the uFiesta. Onefact plays, an operetta, group singing, solos, duets and trios formed a part of the program. At the close of the entertainment refreshments were served and dancing took place. Any student enrolled in first year Spanish and merits a grade of us or any second or third year student with a grade of um is eligible for membership. Qfficers are elected for a period of ten weeks. The club was disbanded in 1931, but the demand was so large that the organization was started again this year. Miss Cody and Miss Humphrey ably serve as the club advisors. Miss Elizabeth Parkinson, recognized by the musical world as Parlcina, is a Widely lcnown alumna. E981 c., Q., -R X r N I 1 F , 1, rlfdif x e ferz in 1934 ctuwf ef' Back Row: Hazard, V. E.

This resulted in the organization of the Olympian Club. The members ofthe club started with one purpose in mind, that of stimulating the interest of girls in athletics. This has certainly been accomplished, for there has been a great increase in members, and all kinds of athletics have been extensively entered into by the girls. The club is represented by the colors blue and gold and by the emblem, a reproduction of a gold eagle. There are now thirty' eight members enrolled. Miss Henschel and Miss Purnell, the gym teachers, act as the advisors. OFFICERS FIRST TERM First Ten Weeks Second Ten Weeks President ..... HANRAHAN President ........ SCOTT Secretary . . . . .

THRELKELD PATRICK The Central Trouvere Club was formed in 1918. Its purpose was to promote the appreciation of good music in Central High School and to provide encouragement, inspiraf tion, and good fellowship for students interested in music. Through all the years the club has been in existence, it has fulfilled its purpose and its members have profited much by their affiliation with this organization. It has always been a source of inspiration and of the forming of friendships to the students who have become members of the club. The colors are royal purple and bright yellow gold, while the emblem is the beautiful French Fleurfdeflis. The origin of the word Trouvere was taken from the word trouf bador, which means a wandering minstrel. Through the excellent supervision of Miss Whitney and Miss Cldham the club has made great advancement this year. Forty' seven active members are enrolled. ln 'l9'lO and 'l9'l'l the Central Glee Club toured some towns of Missouri.

Somewhere I have read or heard it said that an institution of learning is to be judged, not by the richness of its endow' ments or its grounds or buildings, but by the graduates it sends forth. judged by this standard, old Central may well be proud of its fine record. Its standing has always been high. Its scholastic stand' ards have been of the finest. In its sixty' seven years of existence many thousand boys and girls have sat in its classrooms, and under its fine teaching staff have en' joyed the advantages of education and character building. Among this great army of alumni there are many who as men and women have won places of dis' fiom OLD GRADS tinction. No small part of the credit or the achievements thus won is due to the fine training received in Central's halls. WILLIAM F. I'IoGsETT. As my contribution to your very approf priate theme I may say that my regard and affection for old Central are as vital today as they were at the moment of my graduation. I remember saying that no matter what colleges might later claim allegiance and fealty from the members of our class, our love for Central High School would abide undiminished. I can only say that in my case, as I am sure has been true with other members of that class, this prediction has been fully verihed. CHARLES C. BYERS. Central High School, Kansas City, 1899'1903. What memories it revives! A management and faculty unsurpassed. Names and faces come rushing back- E. C. White, I. I. Cammack, E. M. Bainter, Professors Minkwitz, Wilder, Morey, Bain, Sutermeister, Buck, Crow, Holmes and so many others. What a galaxy of talent. We knew then they were good, but in the light of my recent several years' experience as Chairman of the Board of Directors of a Texas college I am the more firmly convinced of the rare ability of that faculty. And what a student body. It largely represented the sons and daughters of Kansas City's social register. What parties at the various homes and at the Athef naeum and the Casino, the cotillions of Professor Scard and Miss Dunlap. The Deltas, Sigmas, Lambdas, Skull E99 Cross Bones, Platos, Philos and C. L. C. That was Central as we knew it. Less hard work on the part of most students than the brilliant tutelage justified, but an instif tution well rounded in management, cur' ricula, athletics and social life. In passing, may I pay the mothers and fathers the compliment of saying that but once did I ever see or know of a boy's imbibing on any occasion of the many social functions of those days, and of a girl, never.

Q 0 , s , FJ 7YiFd v The Cezztraliafz 1934 TI-IE THINGS Tl-TAT COUNT The threefact comedy, The Things That Count, was presented December eighth and ninth under the able direction of Miss Robertson. The story showed how the spirit of Christmas and a child's beauty softened the heart of a haughty and imperious Woman, Mrs. Hennaberry. Ruth Maloy and Betty jane Moyer brilliantly interpreted this part. Betty Barber and Catherine Lee sympathetically portrayed the character of Carol Ranf dolph, playing opposite Joseph Myers and Jimmy Coy, who gave appealing characterif zations of the young Doctor Marshall. The excellent supporting cast added touches of both humor and pathos. 'f The Christmas play presented in T906 was written by Nlr. John A.

A beautiful expression of the mysterious power of love which can survive even the ncrossing over, the play presented the story of a kindly, lovable old gentleman, proud of his garden and of his business traditions, and devoted to the happiness of his adopted daughter. Jimmy Coy, who played the diflicult part of Peter Grimm both nights, displayed a feelipg and talent meriting the highest praise. The supporting cast, led by Jean Siebenf thaler and Eunice Wienshienk, formed an interesting background for Jimmy Coy's superb performance. ln 1903 all literary societies joined in presenting a Christmas play. The proceeds oi the entertainment were used to buy new scenery for the stage. ring The Centralimz 1934 HISTORY OF Tl-lE DRAMATIC DEPARTMENT In order that We may more fully appreciate the admirable productions of our Dramatic Department, we should trace its development down through the years of Central's history. This department had its origin in the old building at Eleventh and Locust, Where Mr. Dillenbeck was its head. In 1915, when Central moved to the nevv building, Eflie May Epton became head of the department, with Anna McCoy Francis, vvho is now at Paseo, as assistant. When Central Junior was established, Miss Virginia Robertson, now head of our department, established dramatics in the curriculum of that school. Miss Robertson continued to direct dramatics in Central Junior until 1924, when she was transferred to Senior High. Upon the death of Miss Epton the following spring she became head of the department, and Miss Tomlin was added to replace Miss Epton. ln 1926 Miss Francis was transferred to Paseo, and since that date our Expression Depart' ment has been directed by Miss Robertson, assisted by Miss Tomlin. As the Dramatic Department grew, its aims were broadened. Originally a depart' ment of elocution, expression and speech, its aim was to teach the platform art, but gradually public speaking and dramatics were added to its scope. Now both are promif nent. Dramatics in Central are stressed as an avocation rather than a vocation, and our students have executed this principle by applying their dramatic abilities, not to make a living, but to afford pleasure to themselves and others. The Central Dramatic Department is notable for the many innovations it has introduced which have been accepted by other high schools throughout the United States. To Miss Robertson belongs the credit for originating the use of double and even triple casts in the plays, thus providing the opportunity for wider student participation. Another very attractive innovation is the delightful little theater located in the classf room and fully equipped for the presentation of plays in class work. The fact that classes are taught from the back of the room, tends to produce the atmosphere of an audience rather than teacher direction. Thus we see that the Dramatic Department has developed with Central, a pleasant part of its student life. The directors and students of this department deserve com' mendation for the splendid way in which they have advanced the precedent, set by inany yems ofinspuing hmtory and by then'adnurabk producdons of1933 and 1954.

At the offset they were handicapped by the loss of their captain, George Ballew, and with consequent changes in the linefup their teamwork suffered. , ' , Prefseason found them fighting a losing battle against Wyandotte, William Chris' man and Rockhurst.

Only three meets have been held, and these rather poor measures of the team's potential strength. However, we'll state the facts. Against Wyandotte it was 525 for the latter and 425 for Central, Paseo nosed us out by a 46 to 45 margin, and East was surprisingly easily downed, 57 to 43. This erratic start was possibly belaid to the preference of misfortune for chorus work rather than duets. Forced to open the season without a veteran dash man QHarvey Smith, purportedly the fastest 'man in the city, having been declared ineligiblej, Coach Slaymaker reposed his trust in one Herbert, Shanks and one Marvin Rowland. The week of the Wyandotte meet, the one Herbert Shanks encountered scholastic difficulties and commenced a Hvefweek term of inaction, and the one, Marvin Rowland pulled a tendon in his knee. Incidentally, this same Herbert Shanks was able to throw the shot over 41 feet and broad jump some 21 feet. Plus those minor troubles, Coach was bothered by the usual array of stubbed toes and skinned fingers. One bright spot there was, however. This, Captain George Chevey who conf quered, conquers and will conquer any and all comers in the 440 and who is a hypof dermic for the most ailing relay team. Possessing average strength in the pole vault, 880 and hurdler, the cinder squad is really quite passable after all. At any rate this perspiring, aspiring editor is giving odds on them to win the city meet, what with Shanks re New sf 77 ad X V 1 f , 0 I 'wr wi , l stored in his teacher's favor and able to do a hundred in 10 flat, put the shot and jump the broad.

They entered into the spirit of the tournaments and afforded the spectators many thrills and much interest. The first intramural sport was giant volley ball. This is played with a large ball which measures about two feet in diameter. In the spring volley ball was played again, but this time a small volley ball was used. The hitfpinfbaseball tournament seemed to draw a great deal of enthusiastic interest from the girls. This year the girls in the gym department were given the benefit of instructions in ballfroom dancing. A lady was hired to play the piano and one day each week the girls were allowed to dance. Miss Purnell was needed at the Board of Education for about five weeks and her pupils had a substitute, Miss Polk. In the early spring the girls started training for the annual swimming meet. This took place the first of May. In the training for this meet, form and speed were the main items stressed. The strokes which came under form were: the breast stroke, back stroke, the side stroke for speed, and the crawl. The endurance items were the plunge for distance and the underwater swimming. The baseball tournament was scheduled to begin the week of May 14. As early in the spring as the weather permitted, a tennis tournament was started. All the girls in the gym department were eligible for entrance. The games were played on the courts nearest to the players. The sport managers this year were: Hockey manager, Betty Scott, intramural sports manager, Margaret Bowles, basketball manager, Viola De Gasper, swimming manager, Vesta Roberts, and baseball manager. Emma Vaughan. 1 Emma Vaughan, Baseball Manager. Margaret Bowles, Intramural Manager. Vesta Roberts, Swimming Manager. Viola De Gasper, Basketball Manager. Betty Scott, Hockey Manager. When Central planned to have a swimming pool, adverse reports came from other cities. They said that contamination was easy, conditions were unsanitary, and that it would be much better to install shower baths.

Girls were encouraged to take up tennis in 1904. lhey were told that it was healthful, sutliciently exciting, and not so dangerous as some sports, therefore, it should be strongly supported. l1261 ,Uma MW The Cenlffalian 1934 HOCKEY REVIEW Blue covered bodies tensed, hockey sticks held stiffly. Such was the story when the sophomores and seniors engaged in the initial game of the hockey season. In this flashing battle the upperfclassmen were victorious, having a lead of two points. The score at the end of the last half was three to one. Excitement and thrills were riotously accepted as part of the schedule in the other games. The seniors, winning all of their games, were champions. The juniors ranked second. They conquered all of their opponents except the seniors. The sophomores, defying tradition, almost wrested the juniors' and seniors' laurels from their heads. They gave them many bad moments in the various games. The score in several of the games was exceedingly close and it was by quick playing and fast think' ing that the juniors maintained their honors from within the sophomores' reach. The second teams rallied their spirits and furnished many excellent games in their battle for the second team championship. The score, in all of their games, was close and never definitely decided until the last minute when the whistle blew to end the game. This made fast playing necessary, in many instances, to avert a tie between teams. The junior second team was triumphant in the second team league. There was such a large number of sophomores out this year and such good' material to pick from, that three sophomore teams entered the tournament instead of two. The third team competed in the second team league. The AllfStar Hockey Players were picked by Miss Henschel, who has charge of this sport, and Betty Scott, this yearis hockey manager. The team was composed of sophomores, juniors and seniors. The girls were chosen because of their timely playing and good sportsmanship. LW, fhfizf WL? A, WL JW ' ' j.

I1281 L-, .4 A , The C'en1f1'alian 1934 BASKETBALL REVIEW The girls played their first game of the season Monday, February 26. The first game was a flashing battle between the Senior White team and the junior Acme team. The game was won by the seniors by a small margin of five points. The sophomores fulfilled earlier expectations when they upset the Junior 'iLos Diablosn team by winning 25 to 15. In the next game the sophomores displayed their skill again by winning from the junior Acme team, with a score of 9 to 5. The Senior Blue,' team played their first game Wednesday, February 28. This was an easy victory for the seniors and they won with a score of 27 to 11. The most exciting game of the season resulted when the two senior teams met for the second time. In this battle the teams were so evenly matched that the outcome could not be decided even in the last few seconds of play. The score at the end of the game was tied 18 to 18. This tied the two for the championship. The other battles were as exciting as the Erst few games. The sophomores threat' ened their upper classmen several times. And the junior teams were conquered by a small margin in several of their games. A double round was played this year. The allfstar players, who were picked by Viola De Gasper, this year's basketball manager, and Miss Purnell, who has charge of this sport, are: Pauline Parker, Margaret Bowles, Alice Kellar, Emma Vaughan, Frances Curry, Viola De Gasper, Betty Scott and Mary Galetsky. The allfstar players are picked for their cofoperation and playing. This year there was an unusually large number who were good players and it was hard to decide who should be given mention. There were a great many girls who came out for basketball this year. Out of this large number a few were chosen to make up the teams. This year there were two senior teams, two junior teams, and two sophomore teams. Twofcourt basketball was played by the junior and senior teams. This was thought to be too strenuous for the sophomores, so they played threefcourt basketball. There were two senior first teams this year. One team was composed of the mid' year seniors who were on the senior team last year. The other team had only straight seniors on their team. There were two junior first teams this year also.

TRADITICNS Traditions of which every Centralite should well be proud. Traditions that have ranked Central's R. O. T. C. Battalion among the highest in the country. Traditions which urge each ofhcer and cadet on to make his supreme effort so that these traditions may be held high, and the honor rating, with which Centralls Battalion has been accredited for the last several years, may be honorably retained. The Armistice Day ParadefThe Baptism of Fire for more than one hundred recruits. Central, the second of the schools in the parade, shone with great brilliance, and made a very spectacular appearance. This parade, which is a feature in the R. O. T. C. activities, was a decided success for Central's precise unit. The American Royal-Central's second major activity within a weekfwas also Central's second victory, for she swept through the hall with such excellent drill that the admiration and acclaim of all the spectators was won. Central's unit by supreme cofoperation and teamwork had again held their wellfmerited reputation high. The City Rifle Match-this was in a sense Centralls major victory of the year, for in this severe competition she defeated teams whose members were much more experienced and were reputed to be much better shots. When the season began, Central's rifle team was one of her weak points, but under the skillful tutelage of Staff Sgt. Harvey H. Allen, the team won hrst place in the city match. Those members of the team who fired in the match were: Captains Schultz and Henshaw, and Cadets Ashley, Kinkade, and Hoyer. Centralls traditions were indeed held high in this superb feat. The Annual R. O. T. C. Hopfthe dance is the only social activity in the R. O. T. C. during the year. The hop this year was a great success and was enjoyed by ofhcers and cadets alike. Still the traditions move on! As this book goes to press, the returns from the William Randolph Hearst Rifle Team Matches show that for the Hrst time in the history of Central one of the awards will be given the Central Rifle Team. By virtue of consistent good shooting the team has won the coveted award of third place in the Seventh Corps Area Matches and will soon be awarded the third place Hearst Trophy Plaque. The team, by shooting the remarkable score of 905 points, in competition with teams from all over the corps area, has brought this honor to Central for the hrst time. Traditions are made and upheld with this invincible Central spirit! In the summer of 1927, boys from Lathrop Trade School constructed our bleachers. They have a seating capacity of 3,000. 11321 'The Ce11l1'afig1J1f'!I934 X Ast Yu In the early years of Central there was an inspection of clean hands every morning 511:33 The Centralizuz 1934 OFFICERS' CLUB Back Row: Stout, Griffin, Shultz, Hermilink, Alexander Third Row: Good, Dornblaser, Tucker, Foster, Neidig, Second Row: Benriesori, Dosset, Hinshaw, Myers, Glenn, Beynon, Pratt.
