' PTEM ER State championships seemed to mobilize at some unknown point this year and COIHC march- ing down on this fair institution in gratifying numbers. First the cross country team trooped over hills and fields to the sweet music of a first place in state-wide competition. Then the basketball squad with its heavy artillery working overtime, peppered the net to a tune of victory until it met Flint Northern in the battle for state supremacy. The outstate school fought royally and held Central's big guns to a deadlock which could not be broken in an overtime. Another state championship! Although the official records do credit Flint with a Win on the newly adopted point system. Three young men then shouldered their mental weapons and went forth to seek their school's fortune in the field of debate. llfiarching straight toward their goal they didn't stop until their verbal bullets had downed every opponent and they were in possession of state-wide honors. During and between these successful con- quests, school-life took some drastic changes and many important events, which will always be associated with the school year of 1935-36, were leaving their indelible impressions upon the minds of students and faculty alike. The big generals, otherwise known as the administration to the inmates of this institu- 'l'l-lR0 GH UN Delphian Staff Left to right-C. Conyer. A. Rankin, J. Krum, M. Hess. D. J. Haskell. M. E.

Runnels. tion, put their heads together and decided to barricade the school doors for an extra twenty minutes each day by lengthening both lunch hours and thus utilizing the extra space, which was before unattainable because of the over- lapping periods. Next the athletic department decided to try something different in the way of increasing attendance at the basketball games. The com- manders in charge got together and elected to admit anyone and everyone to these contests on a student season ticket. Then followed the great- est ticket selling campaign ever known to Central high school as its great athletic army, including all who had ever attempted to make any team, got into full swing and backed this movement to the utmost. Still later people could be seen flocking to the high school auditorium in an attempt to obtain a seat for the annual band concert and Follies of '36 . Playing to a house that filled every seat in that great assembly hall, the band under the direction of Cleo G. Fox, presented one of the finest evenings of entertainment ever witnessed beneath the roof of this building. As that great army of hours, otherwise classified as Time, marches on, other events of this school year will be remembered. Notably among these are the two senior plays, the two senior proms, the junior J-Hop , and the sophomore class party. 9
