Long years ago our sturdy pioneer fathers Settled in a little lndian villageg And planted a citizenry which has stridden With mighty steps through time. More beautiful in natural splendor Than the mythical, mystic city of Camelot With its golden towers of the Cld World ls this realistic, natural City of Kansas With its towering trees, and modern spires. The sluggish, duslcy waters of the Missouri Flow leisurely through the fields of varie- gated blossoms, Fruited trees, ear-burdened corn, and low- ing herds. The Heart of America draws its life blood From the North, South, East, and West. From the cold land of the North Our sturdy, energetic, invincible leaders came. No task too arduous, too great For the fortitude of these pioneers, Who brought to our Middle West An invincible courage to persevere. From the Southern Colonel, with gentility supreme, And the bustling, picturesque Mammy Cur people have inherited a kindly man- ner, Qi wmv ?' un t5'iH'T?!l'lTS!f wifi 5 is 41 lu u is HN, ff U2 - wi 31 annum-5 Q ,U gs fl loan .2 , ,.-, , . es !! PN'5lI llizz 'I' I N Gracious living, soft speech, a gallant bearing. From the East, the shrewd and astute, We obtain our business sagacity, Our love of learning, sturdy Policies, and the watchword Caution But from the West there come The plaintive strains of a coWboy's song, Mingled with the Indians' tom-toms. lt is then We see on the hillside The Scout, and his pony with the golden mane, Gazing out over the mighty city, magic in the Sun, Great structures: edifices, temples, dwell- ings On the land of his fathers-that the white have won. He beholds English cottages, Spanish castles, French chateauxg and there at his feet Every race on the globe come and go Telling their story to the Heart ot the World. To this metropolis - The Heart of America, To all her institutions, beckoning Us to right and warning us of wrong, Our book is sincerely and gratefully dedicated. HESE, our northwestern steps, constitute the step- ping stones to success. lt is upon these that we stride, refreshed by the blasts of the wind as it sweeps around the corner oi our dear Alma Mater. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores, all alike, climb them. lt is an invigorating sight to see the new students with a look of anticipation on their eager countenances as they ascend them, and a sorrowing one to behold the graduates in their descent turn their backs on the ivy- clad walls of dear old Central. ,141 1 ,Q '1 l f -fwlfjat F doors could talk! What secrets gathered un- wittingly from the chattering Centralae who pass through these portals might be divulged. Gazing out to the Western horizon this entrance feels the cool air of the day in the rnorning and is blighted With the hot blasts oi the sun in the later afternoon. As one leaves, she is inspired by the sight of Old Glory waving in the gentle breeze. T is this, the front view of our clear Alma Mater, that will deeply move the Class of '35 as they look back into this book in the later years of their life. This site is very familiar and dearly beloved to each and every one of us and will be an influential factor in contributing to the beauty of our lives. May Central live on in the years to come and play an important part in establishina characters of adamant in the lives of those who are to walk in our footsteps. lt will forever be cherished in the hearts of true anol loyal Centralites. HlS scene is a familiar one to all Centralites as they gaze upon the Walls ot their Alma Mater on Open House nights. These beacons, looming out through the darkness, are symbolic of the guidance of dear old Central High. As Central has led so many ot her students through the darkness into the light of learning, it is only natural that with the guiding hand of our parents and teachers coming together in friendly acquaintance on these nights of Open House that We are able to attain the top round ot the ladder of success. lGHT! dear old Central. Those are the Words that come to mind when one sees the entrance to H. H. Holmes Athletic Field. Through this arched doorway many thousand loyal Centralites have passed to witness the representatives of the Blue and White struggle for supremacy in football and track. Sometimes the spectators left the field in a dejected mood, but more often the excited, happy mob of stu- dents would pour out into Linwood Boulevard and form a noisy snake dance climaxed by a huge bon- fire at night. q lkziieiiv 'Wm' ll!

Here we are able to gaze down from the heights attained by rnan's bird ot the sky and to look into the very heart of our dear Alma Mater. ln the background one is able to see the athletic field Where the stirring struggles of the Blue and White take place and the building of Central lunior. The many paths leading to the entrances are clearly seen and are symbolic of the Various ways to attain success and praise in this school of the student, by the student, and for the student. rlff- COMMERCE HND INDUSTRY The whirl of wheels, the hum of ma- chines, the tread of feet as great chim- neys belch forth the smoke of factories label Kansas City as a power in the world of industry and commerce. A world traveller can find the products of Kansas City in the shops of any sea port, and a Kansas Citian can pur- chase the wares of all countries in the shops of his own city. The Northerner finds a superior selection of fur and wheat: the Southerner, of cotton and sugar, the Easterner, of fish and tex- tiles, and the Westerner, of leather and meat. lrish linen, Swiss watches, German toys, Chinese porcelain, Per- sian rugs, French garments, Dutch cheese, English materials enrich our shops. Kansas City is a Mecca to the tradesman. 'WN E, iv E , sm 5:- .mug Adi wan... 1 'W ,ff 'iw rf Q ,J Social Science Elmer E. Rush Beryl Alton Sidney M. Bliss Bess Clapp Maud F. Compton R. O. Davis O.

For four years we have thrilled to the strains of Central's song, as it drifted across the athletic field joining the lunior and Senior buildings. We are faced with a num- ber of conflicting emotions as we look back on that Freshman year when we literally began a new life. There was the class election with lames Keys becoming president, lean Martin, vice-president, Howard Bayne, secretary, and luanita Man- gold, treasurer. We entered Senior High school with many misgivings and lived the usual existence of the scorned soph- omore. Yet the rewards of it all, clubs, T M T GU C T LEE TWYMAN PRATHER Bt-SL lulll htudvnt.

That in-between lunior year brought the class presidency to Mil- dred Vanderhoof, with lames Keys, Mary Lou Moran, lean Martin, Emily Fountain, Earl Wait, and Gerald Robinson as aides. This Senior year started out with a bang when the Luminary staff put over a stupendous subscription cam- paign to the tune of lt can't be done. Senior election and Senior ballot brought the class leaders to the front. Lois Diersen was the Cfirl Reserve Frances Scarrit l-lanley girl, while luanita Mangold led them as presi- dent. ln Boys'-Hi-Y Club, Paul Kart- VANDERHDOF PERKINS EPPS Mus!

The Student Council became a really active body, doing much to keep the buildings and grounds clean. A new and Wholly pleasing fea- ture of the year was the music of An- thony Perrara's orchestra at the school mixers held about once oi rnonth. Tony deserves much credit tor making these social gatherings a success. The year ended as years do, bring- ing vvith it the termination ofa period in the lives of all that nothing else will ever egual.

HPOLOGIES Hpologies however difficult, are sometimes absolutely nec- essary The Centralian staff regrets exceedingly that the in- creasing complexities of issuing an annual in these trying times caused the omission of the pictures presented on this page. T' I I .I JAN UARY CLASS of the Zoology Club. ln lanuary, l935, the third annual mid- year commencement was held and more than sixty students were graduated from Central High school.. This class was com- posed chiefly of three groups of people. The first, some few pupils who entered an elementary school in the middle of the year, second, persons who were advanced one-half year because of their excellent scholastic rating, and third, a small group of students who had previously fallen be- hind in their school work, due to illness or lack of sufficient ambition which was nec- essary for them to proceed with their for- mer class. The major part of this mid-year class of '36 originated at Central lunior, where students from various ward schools CBen- ton, Ladd, Milton Moore, Greenwood, Lin- wood, and Seven Oaksl assembled in order that they might begin the second great milestone in their education. When they reached Central Senior, they were not so closely united as they had been previously 5 because they were taking different courses and some of them were put into classes with sophomores, juniors, and seniors. However, they again came together the last half of their senior year when they frequently held mid-year senior meetings. Ianuary Class Officers PEARL TEST As a senior president Pearl deserved much credit. She was out- standing in the plays: Shirt Sleeves, Things that Count, and was a page editor of Luminary. She won Silver Medal in declamation for Delphian Literary Society of which she was president. ROBERT RYAN Bob, vice-president of the class, expects to travel extensively. Farming is to be his occupation. He was on track team and first team football. Bob intends to go to Oklahoma State or Vtfashington University. MOZELLE MCSHANE As secretary of our class, we think Mozelle grand. She says that all her interests are concerned with being a manneguin. While at Central, Mozy belonged to Minerva Literary Society, Zoology Club and Student Council. NORA SINGER A quiet, reliable miss who always strove to do her best. She was senior editor, a Lurninary page editor, member of El Circulo Espanol and For the first time since they arrived at this building, they choose three officers to lead them in the final semester. During the first few weeks of school, they held an election and Pearl Test, Robert Ryan, and Mozelle McShane were elected president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. This mid-year class was well repre- sented in practically all of the school's ac- tivities, including the literary societies, de- partmental clubs, the band and the orches- tra, the Luminary and Centralian staffs, dramatics, athletics, and l:t.O.T.C. Several members of this class distinguished them- selves in the activities mentioned above. Thus they have contributed to the success of the lune class and have lengthened the list of honors belonging to Central. Aside from being the largest mid-year class ever graduated from Central, this was one which proved to have many outstand- ing members who have lived up to the high standard of Central's name. From them may come leaders in every vocation. Their high ambitions and standards of life will assure them of rich, full lives and make them men and women that will be remem- bered proudly by Central throughout the years. 40 SOPHIA TOBA AGRON Scdie made a great hobby of collecting songs, and learning to sing them.

The English Department Our English classes are working tor a little more mastery ot expression than they start out with, for a little more understanding ot what constitutes a good book and the secret ot liking that sort ot literature. Expression centers mostly in homely things, but also students make small experiments of the artistic sort. Gne does not talk about nothing, so English classes use experiences and hobbies, air their views, discuss personal and social prob- lems. They maintain close relations with the library, tor utility and pleasure, make group excursions and receive instruction from the library stati, use books set aside on special subjects, or by literary types or periods. ln the two required years, classes meet many American writers, many English, some others, read novels, plays, short stories, biography, essays, poetry, maga- zines, and meet writers old and writers new. The natural reader picks up countless good leads, many get some awakening of interest, even the student who has no interest in books-there are worthwhile persons who have none-has an occasional pleasant time along the way. Senior English classes catch something of the lite and spirit oi English literature, as the pageant moves through the centuries up to our own day.

J , I 1 'F v J I r X K ik We endeavor to furnish egual opportunity to all to grow responsive to our American ideals. The happiest expresions of our political ideals are found in the Declaration of lndependence, the Constitution, Washington's Farewell Address, Iefferson's First lnaugural, the Monroe Doctrine, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and the speeches and writings of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Gur economic ideals are discovered in the study ot our standard of living, the conservation of natural resources and the right of property. Gur social ideals are found in the separa- tion ot church and state, the right to one's own religious opinion, and free public education. As we trace the story of the life of the American people, we aim to emphasize only those facts and principles that seem essential to an understanding and an appreciation of our national life from its earliest beginning to the present. lt is mainly the story of an energetic people, unhindered by tradition or political limitations, who developed the natural resources ot their country while quietly pursuing their ideals of liberty and democracy.

K I , '7' 4 l I 1, 'U K The Science Department 4 ', The science department was created to furnish a knowledge of the principles and facts of science so necessary as a base for a greater understanding of life's problems. The training in this department supplies the knowledge to overcome the needless fears and erroneous and superstitious beliefs. The study of a science offers opportunity for developing ethical ideals and worthwhile habits of conduct. These oppor- tunities are of inestimable value in building courtesy toward others, good sportsmanship, and a wholesome aspect for the law. A knowledge of this phase of science is of great value in enabling an individual to assume his responsibilities of right living. The aim of this departnent is to make the knowledge gained in the various sciences of practical value to the student. Also skill of observations, accuracy of expression, and scientific methods of thinking are stressed. Such scientific training enables the individual to read scientific literature and discuss it intel- ligently as well as provides a subject that is worthy of study in this age of leisure-time projects. This department is not necessarily as interested in turning out great scientists as it is in providing the student with training and knowledge to make him a worthwhile citizen.

The Language Department lt has been said that he who learns a new language acquires a new soul. This means, one supposes, that he can appreciate and understand another's point of view, and look upon his aims with a symathetic eye. When one studies a foreign language, then, he hopes, first of all, to be able to read and understand the language without the aid of translation. This necesitates a full understanding of the structure of the language, as well as its vocabulary. l-le also expects to understand the civilization, the aims and ideals of the people who use that language as their native tongue. To do this he desires to become acquainted at first hand with the literature of that country, and through it with its manners and customs, and its spirit. A secondary result of foreign language study is increased understanding of one's own tongue. No one can become acquainted with another's language without seeing a little farther into the difficulties of his own. Since English is a language of borrowed words, this is especially true of English- speaking people. Not only does language structure become clearer to the student of foreign languages, but also the relation of English words to their sources becomes established in his mind. As some one has truly said, No one can know his own V Q.

The subjects required were such as would give a preparation to the student upon graduation from high school to secure a position as bookkeeper, stenog- rapher, or in some other form oi clerical work. Other courses were planned with the idea that pupils were preparing to enter college. The commerce course was planned tor those who were not going to college in order that they might find profitable employment and a means of entering at once into the business world. ln later years, owing to the lack of employment and to changing economic conditions, less emphasis is being placed upon getting ready for the job and more emphasis is being YQ placed upon a preparation and a training for life and its X problems in our changing social order.

Mathematical Department lt has been well said that Every great study is not only an end in itself but also a means of creating and sustaining a lofty habit of mind. This purpose should always be kept in View throughout the teaching and learning of mathematics. The high school pupil, therefore, should have clearly in mind the two- fold purposes in the study of mathematics: Cal an appreciation of its importance in connection with the problems of every day living such as engineering and architecture 7 tbl the appreciation of a mathematical proof, the ability to develop the logical steps in an argument, and a high degree of skill in the use of mathematical symbols. That these ends may best be attained, the pupil must early acquire a good working mathematical Vocabulary, a fertile imagination, quite necessary in geometry, tboth plane and solidl, and self command necessary in expression.

Physical Education Department The play life of the student has always been considered a powerful force. Through this medium Physical Education offers countless opportunities for the practice of civic and moral virtues as well as offering enjoyment and recreation. Working with others, leading, following, taking turns, playing fairly, winning graciously, losing generously, behaving courteously are but a few of the activities that Physical Education is ever conscious of and is striving to contribute to the development of our boys and girls. Practically all activities offer incentives for emphasis on posture. The skill needed in the various games and sports tend to improvep and are in turn improved by, good posture. An innovation in the department this year is the inclusion of various individual sports: aerial darts, ping pong, tennis, guoits, and handball. They have proved to be very popular. Keen interest and enthusiastic rivalry is evidenced by the large numbers of students participating in the Various tournaments carried on in these sports. Mr. Schlager's Home Room Top Row-R.

The Library The library, as a special department, is definitely a part of the high school in advancing education. The librarian is a teacher in an informal way. She has a give-and-take bond of understanding with the students, and possesses a keen sense of their individual differences. Collections of books for the various departments are especially chosen to elaborate on the subjects being taught and, in addition, to give a very liberal choice for general reading. Each department has the privilege of asking for material for the development of any project. The librarian prepares a list of such books and collects them for the students' use. Both the teacher and the student profit by this cooperation. This shows that the librarian is a teacher in intimate and continued contact on equal standing with the teaching staff. ln the library a high form of supervised study is practised. Here the students learn to read silently not only the books they already know, but through the librarian's help learn to know and to like the better books on all subjects. The school library is a laboratory in which the whole field of literature is available for the pupils' vocational and cultural development.

X5 if xii -dl X X ,1 The Cultural Subjects Educators believe that true appreciation cannot exist without active participation in the creative process. ln this age of enforced leisure time, there is a crying need for a vocational interest. With this two-fold idea in mind the art ,music, and speech departments have shaped their courses of study. The art department creates in the pupils a feeling for line, color, and pattern which make up the entire composition. The technical knowledge widens the pupil's horizon to an appre- ciation of masterpieces, and encourages his creative ability and stimulates a fine execution. The music department trains the student to develop a sense of rhythm, harmony, and melodyy and gives him the science of execution: instrumental and vocal. The intelligent association with the works of the masters gives him an appreciation of art as a whole. The speech department develops in the pupils poise, dignity, and assurance by training them to cultivate a pleasing voice and to speak with sincerity and truthfulness unhesitatingly. lt also, by its analysis of what is best in acting, enables them to enjoy more fully the offerings of screen and stage. So we believe that we are training an intelligent citizenry sensible to the refinement of our growing city and producing creators who will not only carry on by performance but produce new phases of the arts.

Industrial Arts and Home Economics The subjects under this heading are foods, clothing, drafting, wood shop, metal shop, and printing, with a total enrollment this year of ten hundred forty-five. These subjects are comparatively new in high school, dating back, with the exception of drafting and clothing, little more than twenty years. l-lowever, despite their newness, they have found favor with students and parents and are giving general education which functions perhaps more immediately than most of the older subjects. lt is the policy to make changes in the courses or begin new courses, whenever advisable, to better meet students' needs. Following this policy, forge work, offered when Central opened here in l9l5, was changed to auto mechanics, and auto mechanics, when modern automobiles became so complex, was changed to the present metal shop work, which includes some auto mechanics. Advanced clothing was substituted for millinery, and the print shop, which has become guite an important institution in the school, was started only about fourteen years ago. ln recent years more recognition has been given some of the subjects, especially shop, making it possible to offer as many as six terms in them, instead of two as formerly.

The staff has endeavored to modernize the annual, using as a theme the Heart of America. The most drastic changes were the increasing of the size of the book and the bleeding of the pages. The completion of a successful year has been made possible only by the hearty cooperation of Miss Kite, Mr. Tudor, and the school at large with the staff, most ably led by Managing Editor Bobert Cole and Busi- ness Manager Boy Beach. Heart Trouble Heart Trouble, not real, but dramatized, was presented in Cen- tral's auditorium Friday evening, December lil, as the annual fall play under the direction of Miss Virginia Bobertson. The three act comedy was received by a respon- sive audience. The play conceived the troubles of the Morrisons, an everyday fam- - ily exaggerated to the point of striking individuality. Laura, the older daughter and her mother's favorite, found that it is better to keep her man than to play up to an irresponsible newcomer and lose them both. However, peppy Patricia, the younger sister, fared well by Laura's actions since she was able to enlist the interest of Tommy Caler. The cause of the heart trouble was the arrival in town of Mr. Conrad Tyler, a golf professional for the new club house. He, with his overly polite manners, completely captivated Laura. However, when the unmentioned Mrs. Tyler unexpectedly appeared on the scene, Laura's romance went on the rocks. Meanwhile little sister had safely annexed her erstwhile man. Central's dramatic stars played their parts commendably, Mrs. Morrison, the ambitious mother, being enacted by Dorothy Epps 7 lunior Morrison, her slang-using sixteen-year-old son, by Edward Ebertg Pat Morrison, by Avanelle Lukens: Laura, by Mary Allgeyerg Conrad Tyler, Alex Lictor, Tommy Caler, Don Perkins, and Fred Morrison, the tired father, played by Gouverneur CBudD Beplogleg supported by a strong cast including Martha Titensky, Pearl Test, Bob Keller, Connie Burns, Paul Kartsonis, and Selma Baker. H Kiss for Cinderella The annual spring play, A Kiss for Cinderella by Sir lames Bar- rie, was presented Agoril 5, under the direction of Miss Virginia Bob- ertson. The story was a modern version of the old fairy tale. Cin- derella, a slavey in England dur- ing the 'World War, did her part by caring for children and doing everything in her power to help those in need. 'While waiting one night on her doorstep for her fairy god mother-hungry and half frozen--she fell asleep and dreamed of a wonderful ball. ln it she visioned Prince Hard- to-Please who could not find a wife that he cared for. Twelve famous beauties of the world were brought before him, but none suited the young prince. Finally, Cinderella appeared, qualified for his wife by the thermo-mometer test, tiny feet, and by answering a riddle. Cinderella wakened mortally ill. A month later she was seen at Dr. Bodie's home recuperating from her illness. An English policeman turned out to be the prince of her dream. The play was well enacted, by a cast of sixty and everyone acclaimed it highly. The leads were played by Z Bob Keller as the policeman and Betty Caplan as Cinderella. Other leading parts were portrayed by Abe Eisenstark, Nancy Dawson, Donald Perkins, Constance Levich, and Mildred Vanderhoof.

Assistant Director-Wilbur Whiteside Vice-President-Dean Hutchinson Drum Maiorf-Charles Welch Secretary-Bud Beplogle Central Band was organized in l926, under the direction of Mr. Schlager, with a membership of thirty players. lt has en- joyed a steady growthp so that now it has an enrollment of ninety. The purpose of the band is to give training in performance and appreciation 'of music, both classic and modern. Scholarship in other subjects is stressed by the band organization, resulting in a decided improvement during the year of those who are in contact with this influence. Librarian-Ralph Smith The band claims to be Central's most active organization, averaging about twenty-five public engagements each year. Most of these are either for school assemblies, athletic events or community gatherings. The Best Boy Musician of the senior class, Oscar Boos, is a member of the band. The band has always assisted the B. O. T. C. department at parades, formal inspection, and the Circus. 64 Top Row-Lowrnan, Lewis, Levine, lanney, Replogle, l-lollowell, Eads, G.

Under the fine leadership of the director the individual sections have been built up to do excellent work. The Kansas City Philharmonic has stimulated a desire and interest to study more seriously because of opportunities 65 awaiting those who do. This year many accomplishments have been made includ- ing special work on overtures and oper- atic selections. A few of the difficult num- bers the orchestra has worked on during this year are: Algerian Suite, Merry Widow Waltz, Blue Danube Waltzes, and the Overture to The Barber of Seville. Throughout the past year Central Orchestra has played for all the plays. An ensemble group has broadcast over the Star's radio station. Central's orches- tra expects still greater achievements in the future DW! 1 elm mf wk f t,,,,Y,.G,J,weJs . .MZ T tr . f ..

CENTRHL CHORUS The Central A Cappella Chorus has participated in the programs for assembly, in the Christmas programs at the school and at the Union Station, and in a program at Southeast Presbyterian Church. The double quartet, a selected group from the chorus composed of Cynthia Cole, Annalee Bitter, Virginia McClelland, Ada Lauder- dale, Anthony Ferrara, Martin Schuster, Gouverneur Beplogle, and Bobert Lewis, has sung for the Schoolmas- ter's Club, the Mid-year Graduation, and the Women's Dining Club. mpfml SAX f'-Jw Q .

This debt becomes even greater when one is reminded of the fact that these boys averaged three re- hearsals a week, and served without pay, as all proceeds were turned over to the music department to purchase new music and instruments. 66 ,ij f' , ff' ,.! - N L' ,,.,,,.fi J at . vl 'Ji , J., A .- - fl 1 ff ,li-fa J y,v',f If 5,- .A , -H' t .1 t ,J i W J, , 1, J J..-fi' , ,I J ,f ffjd Fyff. ,fl J' L J ' - 4 , UV' ,ff oRcsAN1zA'rnoNs Lummary banquet Mr. Laughlin Miss Abel The debclters Q11 the spot!

L Stcrqe Crew Winter time Q as ORGHNIZHTIONS Education in the narrow sense has passed. The time when the school was purely a place to learn the fundamentals of knowledge has long since perished and in its place has arisen the idealism of the modern school sys- tem. The fault in the old system lay in the fact that it did not recognize the necessity for development in anything beyond the mental attribute of the studentg and a little later, the physical. The modern system recognizes the fact that we are social creatures, and, as such, we need a way toward self- expression in the school. Spiritually, too, it has tried to fill ina thing that was sadly missing in the older school. And so it is that the bustling extra-curricu- lar life at Central has come into being. Our attitude toward it has grown to such a point that Central would not seem to be Central without it. Imagine a Friday without a club meeting, a year without a year book, a hobby without a club for ity a spring without an lntersocietyg a week with- out a Luminary, and you glimpse the idea of the drabness that would per- vade the atmosphere of the halls if our extra-curricular activities were sud- denly curtailed. lt has been wisely stated that school is life. A little world all its own has been built up after the hours in the class room at Central. Despite efforts to the contrary, groups and factions have cropped up to disturb the tranquil surface of school life, but they have died away, and Central has gone on as before. The various school organizations were designed as a means to an end -social and spiritual satisfaction. At times, the means was mistaken for the end, and some erring individual found himself struggling for social prominence, for honors, for office. Yet, in the final reckoning, even though the prize was won, it was an empty victory, and for one more time the school organizations accomplished their purpose-teaching the real values of life. Once an organization fails to do this-once it ceases to function toward the end and becomes the end itself, such an organization has lost its useful- ness and meets a deserved termination to its activities. There is another important function that Central's organizations have, and that is the development of the qualities of leadership and following. The first does not need as much developing as it needs diverting into useful channels. Without intelligent followers there can be no democracy. There is leadership in following, but it is a group leadership rather than an indi- vidual leadership. ln union there is strength-only in union can there be progress. No better way to teach this lesson has been evolved than to practice it. The club life at Central furnishes training ground forthe four great attri- butes of our nature: the mental, physical, social, and spiritual. Walter B. Stone.

The club was formed to give zoology students a better knowledge of the subject. Since its organization it proved to be one of the most interesting and worthwhile societies at Central. The club meets every two weeks: travel and n .re films often being shown. Many prominent speakers have lectured at tlmefn ings. Field trips are taken which increase the inter- t. est oi the club memb 5 1 te membership is the largest of any organization in school. I .

HONOR The characteristics essential to membership in The National Honor Society are inscribed on the key which each member wears with just pride and satisfaction. The center design is oi a torch, learning ever enlightening mankind, and it is circled by the letters S. L. and S. which are the initials oi Character, Scholarship, Lead- ership, and Service. Each member ot the society is selected because oi his superior rating in these traits. The society, as its name implies, is a nation- S OCIETY wide enterprise. lt was founded in l923, and the Central High School chapter also began in 1923. Members are elected by the faculty who base their judgment on the aiore mentioned qualities. To be among those eligible one must have a high scholastic rating and an above-average number ot honor points acquired through com- petition, popularity, and appointment. Students work diligently through the tour years oi high school to attain that goal--the thrill oi wearing a National Honor Society pin.

This emblem is not awarded only for fulfilling a set number of requirements but is also the symbol of his value to the team. In the above group, six of the lettermen were Captains on various teams: lay Keys in football, lerry Robinson and Earl Wait in basketball, Wilmer Warren and Marvin Rowland in track, and l-larold Randolph in golf. 89 Being a captain does not mean that a boy is merely an outstanding player, it is more a recog- nition ot the guality of leadership which he pos- sesses and utilizes in leading the team through the season. Even though the Blue Eagles were not cham- pions in football, basketball, tennis, or golf this year every member of these teams who worked to build up his individual group is a person to be congratulated, honored, and respected. t 1 Top Row-Whitehead, Butcher, Crowley, Schmidt, Herman, Robinson, Davis, Maloney, Morgan- .

Captain lay Keyes, Wilmer Warren, Ronald DeWeese, Naham Little, and Marvin Rowland, all regulars in the previous season, returned this year. Lee l-lurst, husky center, passed away during the summer, leaving a huge gap in the middle of the line. With l-Iymie Schere, reserve center in l933, out with a heart ailment, the pivot posi- tion was filled by lerry Robinson, who had seen no previous action. Marvin Draper, also a newcomer to the squad was the only memloer to gain an all- star rating. This scrappy guard was named on the city second team loy the Kansas City Star. The Eagles defeated Wyandotte, East, and Westportg tied Manual, and lost to Paseo, Southwest, Roclchurst, and the new city champions, North- east. , n 1 .W 'g if - . 1 A .f X14 .I ,-,' .

People have often marveled at the ability of the first team members to learn all the plays which they use in their games, but the unheralded re- serves must learn the plays of all the other high schools in the city to use in practice against the regulars. Lack of size may be blamed for the Blue Eaglets below-average record made this year. Certainly the seconds were not lacking in fight and deter- mination, but their small stature proved too great a handicap in their battles against larger opposition. ln the past seven years, Coach Guemple's teams have Won four city championships, which isn't a half-bad record. ln 1933 the team Was unde- feated. This year they played six games, Winning one and losing five. Manual was the only school to fall before the Eagletsg While Northeast, Paseo, Westport, East, and Southwest were victorious in their battles with Central.

I-1 Summary of the Basketball Season While the showing made by Central's basbetball team this year was not up to the standard of previous years, one should not be too critical in summing up their record. ln pre-season games, they Won three out of four games played, and followers saw the possi- bility of a championship team. But when the Blue and White began the league season, they gained the title Hthree-quarter team. Although they lost six games, they led until the final minutes of the game, when they fal- tered and lost. ln the Northeast, Paseo, South- Second Team Basketball Top Row--Franke, Morgan-Dean, Hendricks, Brenton, Coach Forbes, Dietrich, Gosset, Fink.

Only Manual and East gained decisive victories, while the Alumni, Bockhurst, Chrisman, and Westport were defeated by the Kingbirds. The Blue Eaglets fared no better than their big brothers, winning only three games out of ten. They defeated Manual, Bock- hurst, and De La Salle, but lost to Northeast, Paseo, Southwest, Westport, Chrisman, Wyandotte, and East.

An Abridgment of the 1934 Track Team Probably the chief reason Central ended on the top of the heap after the exciting city track meet last year is because one boy on the squad determined earlier in the season to win the hundred and two-twenty yard dashes. That boy was Wilmer W'arren, now co-holder of the city records in those events. ln early season competition, the Kingbirds defeated East, Northeast, and 'Westport and lost to Paseo and Wyandotte. When they went into the city meet, they flashed championship form in leaving their nearest rival, Paseo, nine points behind at the finish. GOLF TEAMS Results of the golf team. tryouts, held March 30, gave Central a team average of 83, a good score considering the cold weather. According to Coach Robert Forbes, efforts will be concentrated on winning second place in the city meet, since last year's champions, Southwest, have the same team competing this year. Top Row---Davis, Stayton, Second Row--Lowman, Brasfield. First Row---Troupe, Cole. Warren made good his promise and when the century and furlong dashes had been run, the Central speedster had covered those distances in record-tying time. Central earned two other first places: George Cheney winning the 880, and the state championship relay team winning their event. Combined with many seconds and thirds, the Eagles came through to victory. This year Central has a good track team, although per- haps not a winning one. T he Blue Eagles show strength in the dashes, but not in the pole vault, shot put, high jump, or broad jump. Wilmer lltfarren and Marvin Row- land, both dash men are co-captains of this year's squad. TENNIS TEAM Previous to the yet uncompleted track season, tennis is the only sport in which Central won a championship. Bruce Fink and Alvin Clemage, two boys who won the city doubles championship, went to Columbia, and, after bat- tling through the first round, coasted through the remain- der of their matches and became state champions. ln the singles, the team did not fare as well as in the city meet.

GIRLS' SPORTS MANAGERS MARY SHEFFLER BERTHA HAZARD ALICE KELLER GERTRUDE FARMER ELSBETH CLOSSER HELEN SALANDER GIRLS' SPORTS When the first Central High school was founded in the days of bustles and pompadours, a rigorous gym- nasium course for girls would have been considered ridiculous. Today, however, the seemingly impossi- ble is a reality. ln addition to providing healthful exercise and recreation, the present system teaches the girls the value of good sportsmanship, fair play, and a knowledge of hygiene. The languid pleasure previously derived from swimming- has been transformed into a useful and highly practical phase of first aid. Artificialrespira- tion and various methods of rescuing are taught. This year, the interest of the girls seemed to increase and the energy which they directed into their study of life- saving will be a record for future teams to strive to equal. Helen Salander and Elsbeth Closser proved to be very capable managers, and helped the individual girls in their pursuit of this sport. The game that, twenty years ago, was considered too rough for boys to play has proved to be one of the most fascinating of the girls' sports this season. Teams were organized, methods of playing were discussed, and the enthusiasm of the players mounted with each contest. Soccer is an exhilarating game, interesting to watch, and thrilling to play. On Central's broad athletic field, the blue clad figures of the girls playing there, were tense with excitement and their sticks were poised, ready to drive the ball toward the goal and victory. Field hockey is one of the favorite games of our girls. An all- star team and a student manager, Gertrude Farmer, was chosen. Next season the girls will again don sweaters and caps and indulge in the grand old pastime of field hockey. Nine-Court, this unique variation of basketball is rapidly springing into popularity, and the combination of a pleasant recreation and the technique of a well- known game is a worth-while basis for an entertaining gymnasium course. The teams showed an unusual amount of skill, and the tournaments which took place, attracted the attention of all the studetns. Most popular of all girls' sports is basketball. This year from each of the three classes: sophomores, juniors, and seniors, two teams were chosen and cap- tains were selected. After school, the girls gathered in the gym for the games. Officiating at their own con- tests, the players kept the series swift and exciting. All the girls developed a proficiency and dexterity at making baskets and observing the rule of the game. The student manager is Mary Sheffler. This brief resume of the activities of the girls' gym- nasium class for the past year can only partially illus- trate the number of well-established teams and tour- naments that are coloring the history of Central and the school life of our girl students. 94 GIANT VOLLEY BALL Top Bowfffelgemeier, Vantrees, Logsdon, L.

Allen, formerly of Kansas State College, at Manhattan. His untiring effort readily brought him the complete acceptance of the entire school. Last year, for the first in the history of the R.G.T.C. circus, a humorous event was introduced. lt was Central's cracked squad drilling on the floor with the first-place crack squad of the year before. Both received hearty commendation from Major Grant. At Corp Area lnspection Central again showed her superior knowledge of R.G.T.C. by retaining the title of Honor School, an attainment sought by every unit. The Crack Company so efficiently led by Captain Robert Glenn and the Crack Squad by Corporal Fred Speck at the field meet, enabled Central to add the sixth consecutive victory to her already long list of honors. The American Royal marked the first public appearance of more than one hundred recruits. The drill received the acclaim and applause of the entirejabidieincjy ' . ,, 5 ,ff ,ar p .NX if ,ff t x I COMPANY B Top Row- -Kemp, Latham, Stoenner, Wiene shienk, Beamer, Kohls, Shryock, Burchett, P. lohnson, Clements.

A ruling by Major Grant at the first of the year abolished the election of sponsor officers in all the high schools. The offi- cers at the hop: however, elected Connie Burns as queen of the ball with Betty ludd and Emily Fountain as her attendants. Again at Kemper Rifle Match, Central added another suc- cess to an already superior rifle team. Central tied with St. Thomas Military Academy for second place with 719 points. Cadet William Ashley was the high man of the match. He was first place individual Standing Champion with a score of 88, also High School Grand Aggregate Champion with a score of 280. Cadet Robert Douglas placed third in the individual Prone Match with twenty-eight consecutive bulls, As the curtain falls on another school year, Central con- tinues to maintain her place at the top due to the cooperaion of the cadets and officers and the school at large with Staff Sgt. H. H. Allen. f OFFICERS' CLUB t1.f' , Top Row--'Second Lieutenants: Taylor, Cohen Underwood, Povlovich, Carrier, Buckles Ray, Means.

People commonly believe one's use ot his leisure time is an index to his character. lt so, Kansas Citians are cultured. The pub- lic school system with its broadening courses in music, art, and literature pre- pares its youth tor active appreciation ot the Philharmonic Orchestra, The William Roclchill Nelson Gallery and Atkins Museum. ot Art, the University oi Kansas City, the Art lnstitute, and the Conservatory oi Music. The parks, boulevards, churches, public buildings, and homes bear evi- dence ot the populace's love ot the beau- tiiul. Many sculptured masterpieces adorn our city, the most notable are the Liberty Memorial, the Scout, and the Pioneer Mother. The circulation of the public libraries, the numerous cultural clubs, the crowded churches, the cinema and legiti- mate theaters, and the subscribers ot Kan- sas City papers, all testify to the refined taste oi the citizens ot Kansas City. .94 ?EA'l'URES t , I 1 V ' 1 V I ,f N .J J j' I 4 K L I Remember the Centralian Qld Glory Central lunior The best salesmen Some Candy, please!

All is quiet except for an occasional, droning recitation given forth by a toiling student. Nothing short of a fire drill could ever wake up the school on a sluggish afternoon like this. Then we are amazed to hear the crash of brazen symbals, and the haunting strains of a wierd oriental composition come in from the street. What does it all mean? Suddenly the sound of silver trumpets splits the at- mosphere and huge black slaves rush out shouting, Down! Down! Pay due respect to the most honorable Prince Omar Anpa! Then the meaning of these strange events comes to us in a flash. This is the celebrated prince from that great oriental domain, Win- dia. He has come to do his annual spring shopping for new servants. He finds it neces- sary each year to come to America and re- furnish his household. He intends to find some worthy servants in Central. The Student Council rushes out to greet the distinguished guest, and he is soon ushered into the portals of old Central with 1 101 1:10101 141 ami 1 1 iuvuqpn1 1 1 emu1u1uz pomp, and seated upon a paper mache throne in the auditorium. At times the guest looks extremely pleased and then at other times he puts on an ex- tremely sickish look. Obviously our friend is a man of many moods. These facial expres- sions vary greatly, as the outstanding mem- bers in various clubs are paraded in front of him. Before leaving he stood up before his ex- pectant audience and delivered the follow- ing oration. Mine dear frans, I am extremely very sorry but I have decide now that none your folks make me the-kwhat you American say - -the hotsy totsy servant, All folks have the good points. All folks have the bad points. Trouble with your folks is, points mostly bad. For instance, the club you seem call the Thalian. They O. K. in a way. But that is true only so long as they keep the mouth shut. When they begin to talk, one might just as well begin reading this Anthony Ad- verse you talk so much about. That is how long they can gabble-gabble. Next I see folks called the Slache. They just like the Thalian. If you take that right, that is much enough to say about them. In fact I feel I might go so far as to say that it's plenty. Also I see mob call the Minerva. They probably what you would call the classy. Maybe so. But they awful dumb. They prob- ably couldn't even boil a good pot of water. I also see the bunch called the Delphian. Nice ladies. One thing matter. They so love to swim, and Prince Omar Anpa live on desert. Besides it bust me flatter than the well-known pan-cake to keep them in water wings. Then I see the Aristonian. They, too, swit ladies. Only one thing matter. They fight among themselves muchly. 1 also could not afford to keep them supplied with cat-nip. After this, I see the Webster Club. One look at them informs me they are much the lazy. No do good in Windia! Emerson reviewed next. Mighty cute lit- tle fellas. Ow! though, how much it cost to build a nursery big enough to keep them. No good. Last of all, I see the Franklin. My, oh my, such handsome brutes. Allah be praised though, they could wreck Windia to nothing in five minutes, if they went back with me. No tanks.

RHMBLIN G RHLPH lf this year hasn't been a productive one, it has certainly been a hectic one . . . World-shaking events may have occurred in the last nine months but we're willing to wager that most Centralites were more concerned with club rivalry than they were worried about world peace . . . which reminds us-how have some of our fair damsels managed to keep peace with each other while they try to cop boy friends right out from under said girl friends' noses . . . Pop Crunter's soup was just the same this year Canything for a joke, Popl: but he had more specials than ever before in Central. The Franklins upheld their traditions concerning sports with lay Keyes, Earl Wait, and Bill Berner all starring in the important competition . . . Tony Ferrara's orchestra certainly helped the mixers go over big this year . . . there were four or five new clubs organized at Central during the past two semesters . . . it's rumored that they meet in a funeral home for atmosphere . . . a wise man once wrote, There are two sides to everything. We'll bet that he didn't see any of the formals worn this year by Central's fairer sex . . . the faculty got new pictures for this Cenralian . . . That proves that this yearbook is nothing less than an epic! Central's B.O.T.C. major this year may have been small in stature but nevertheless few people start arguments with Don Browne . . . That epidemic of the measles surely put some of us out of commission for a while . . . Last year's catchword was Where's Elmer. This year's was Good joke on humming bird! sorta senseless? . . . We can't figure out how three Minervas were elected to be medal pinners-one for the Frank- lins and one for the Minervas-where did that other one go? . . . Pauline Leibengood tried to turn western on us and become a hosswoman . . . we only heard that the Thalian autobio- biographies are to be published in a confession magazine. lf you fail to find yourself in the snapshot section tear the back off your Centralian, write your name and address on it, send it to us and forget all about it . . . More Luminary and Cen- tralian subscriptions were sold this year than ever before. The lunior class is going to have to work hard to beat those records next year . . . Bosie Meyers turned carpenter this year and indulged in some useful chiseling . . . so did Verna Lawson . . . bet they nearly drove Pop Lukens mad with dumb questions . . . Weren't the dust storms awful? Anyway, after being through one, a person feels that he has a lot of grit . . . Wonder if Bob Preston will have forgotten the Drunkard's Song by next year . . . we doubt it. The real hit of the spring play was Cleopatra . . . they decided that Central teachers grade too high . . . it's mutiny, dat's wot it is . . . pardon me for rambling but that's me . . . yours, -Bambling Balph. -117- HUTOGRHPHS 7'ilUuf-1,0 0.1 -O4,u4laJ1V 7oJ1a,fvA1 f9 'Mf'M'i wxwwvwwxg Q QNX?
