There has been a development and the sayings and pictures will show some of the bright spots. While not a history yet we trust this volume will assist the memory in recalling some of the good old days spent in the Central high school, our beloved Alma Mater. “YOUR AFTERSELF” “Your first duty in life is toward your afterself. So live that your afterself—the man you ought to be—may in his time be possible and actual. Far away in the twenties, the thirties, of the Twentieth Century, he is awaiting his turn. 11 is body, his brain, his soul are in your boyish hands. He cannot help himself. What will you leave for him? Will it be a brain unspoiled by lust of dissipation, a mind trained to think and act, a nervous system true as a dial in its response to the truth about you? Will you, boy of the Twentieth Century, let him come as a man among men in his time, or will you throw away his inheritance before he has had a chance to touch it? Will you turn over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseased, a will untrained to action, a spinal cord grown through and through with the devil grass of that vile harvest we call wild oats? Will you let him come, taking your place, gaining through your experiences, hallowed through your joys, building on them his own, or will you fling his hope away, decreeing wanton-like that the man you might have been shall never be?” —David Stark Jordan.

BOB who BOB who BOB. 6 Money spent on the brain, is never spent in vain CHARLES E. COOK, Superintendent A. B. History, Indiana University, 1913; A. M. Administration, Indiana University Mr. Cook, our jolly superintendent, is a very loyal booster of North Manchester schools. The success of this annual is very largely due to his constant assistance and leadership. We know him to be a man who stands for the right things. His presence with us is for service. I Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you SI the en-emm.S? S® Mi-. Isaa;- Openheim, the president of our school hoard is a man of wide experience and sound judgment. We have trusted much to his wise eouneil and never lias he failed us. Where the vision is clearest then the work is greatest. We owe much to his vision and much to his charming personality. His council has directed ns into a greater life for it has always been given after careful thought. Mr. Ira Mummert, the treasurer of our school has wisely administered our funds. Mr. Mummert is a gloom dispeller. No one feels down hearted around Ira. He has been one of the loyal supporters in all our activities. While he has the bearing of a real business guardian yet Ira joins us in our fun and is a cheer maker when the tide ebbs low. Mr. Joe Miller the Secretary of our school board always conns in to lighten the dark places. We just could not get along with out Joe. Whenever the lights are on at Central you will see Joe some place around. It was he who said we have the best basket ball team, the best orchestra and the best school in the United States and Joe believes it too. Mr. Miller is one of our foremost business men. lie has risen in the estimation of patrons of the town until he now occupies the position of assistant cashier in the Lawrence National bank. Jessie Merritt is the school clerk. Jessie has been the servant and yet the comfort of many of us. When we get in bad we tell Jessie, when we have eats or fun she shares it with us. She has been our bookkeeper, clerk, helper and general care taker. She has a smile for us all and never refuses a helping hand. Mr. U. R. Young, our principal has been with us for the past (i years. Mr. Young is a graduate of Indiana State Normal and Manchester College. He has been our class adviser and has always pointed us forward. He often has said “Your today’s are your future.” Mr. Chas. E. Cook, our new Superintendent is a graduate of Indiana University receiving his A. M. degree in 1017. Mr. Cook has been our advisor and councilor in the publication of our annual. He occupies the largest chair of any of our administrative staff. 8 Lawyers’ houses are built of fool’s heads TIIE PAST, PRESENT AND TIIE HOPED FOR FUTURE Several years ago the North Manchester school board began to look forward to better educational facilities for the children committed to their care. A new building was the plan. Their hopes rose and fell, meeting obstacles, and crossing rivers, falling in some and down over others. The school lost its standing in the North Central Association and then high school commission. Then real movements were started. Tim present board consisting of Mr. Isaac Oppenheim, president, Mr. Ira Mummert, treasurer, and Mr. J. 11. Miller, secretary began in earnest to build upon the foundation laved by their predecessors. They employed Mr. Weatherhogg, as architect and Mr. M. P. Ilodges, as contractor and in a few months erected one of the most beautiful buildings that can he found any where. The building is principally brick finished in gum and stained like the palace of any king. There are five rooms in the administrative section. The first office is that of the Superintendent with files and next the clerks office with book shelves, safe, files and all supplies needed and adjoining this is the office of the high school principal equipped with modern files and a large Seth Thomas electric clock which is the master clock governing all the secondary clocks as well as ringing all program bells. There are two rooms or offices for the nurse and one rest room. The Science department is complete in every way. There are three rooms, including one Chemistry laboratory, one class and demonstration room and one physics laboratory. There are four rooms in the domestic science department including one complete cooking laboratory with six gas stoves and sinks with hot and cold water and modern cooking tables and one laundry room with four built in tubs with all modern conveniences. There are four rooms in the manual training department, one shop, one paint room, one recitation room and one office. In fact there is every modern convenience, including commercial department, fire proof moving picture booth with machine, fine library now reaching a very high standard, and maps and many other pieces of apparatus, to advance the academic life of the children. The play and entertainment side has not been over looked. We have a fine Auditorium completely fire proof, with a seating capacity of 750. The stage is one of the largest to be found. The beautiful velour curtains and stage fittings give a rich and beautiful setting. 9 A loud voice bespeaks a vulgar man The stage is the gymnasium. The size is 71 ft. long. 54 ft. wide and 22 feet high. Our basket ball fans sit in comfortable seats arid watch with pleasure a game staged like some great drama. The gymnasium is equipped with all the modern apparatus such as climbing ropes, traveling rings, dumbells, Indian clubs, wands, parallel bars, volley ball standards, and nets, basket ball, and base ball plans and equipment. The large play ground and tennis courts out side give ample opportunity for the out-door fun. Our school is organized on the supervised study plan; each pupil studying under the supervision of bis teacher. The classes are organized on very high standards. No student is eligible to bold office unless be lias a class standing of 85% or above. Xo motions of importance are passed with out the majority vote of all enrolled in the class. The classes this year in consultation with the Superintendent and principal called a designer to make and submit bids for a school design. The front entrance of the building was made into a beautiful design and placed on rings and pins. This has been adopted as a standard North Manchester high school design for pins and rings. We trust we are not boasting by giving you a complete description of our plant and its workings, but we do want you all to know that we are proud of the wonderful school plant you have so generously given to us. Let us hope that all future classes who have the pleasure of using it will make the best of their opportunities and leave it as better citizens and better able to meet the problems of life.

Long years have passed ’neath your portals; Long years that fruitful have been, Where we learn all the “l’s” and the “isms,” That make up the knowledge of men. And now conies the time of our parting, As friends, far apart, we will roam; But rememheranee still of our school days, Bring wand’rers, in thought, back home. For thought of the far gone school days. Sends a glow through life’s deepest shades; The flowers in memory's gardens, Are friendships, in school days, made. Then, no matter how far we may journey, Down the paths, for us. Fate will find; May the lives that we live bear you honor Dear school, that we're leaving behind. Lucille IIuber. A EULOGY TO OUR CLASS PIN In days to come we’ll think of you, Of teachers, friends, and classmates true. We’ll think of lessons, books, and fun, And teachers once we tried to shun. In memry’s store we’ll hold you dear, As on we pass from year to year. We'll think of the class of twenty-four, With all its members, about two score. The inspiration we gain from you Will help us on our whole life thru’; The numerals we’ll all embrace, And vow to save them from all disgrace. The doors which once we tried to shun, A place in each one’s memory has won; 'Til now we look on them with pride, And crush the thoughts we once did hide. Thanks, thanks to thee, our emblem true, For lessons we have gained from you. And thus may we forever strive, That our good name mav keep alive. M. R.

How’s this? ‘‘A small girl with a big heart, Always ready to do her part.” PAUL WINGER “Polly” IIi-Y, Basket Ball ’23-’24 Plays forward on the basket ball team. He’s the son of our college president, but lie’s a good scout anyway. He’s really quite bright in English IV. Why does Paul like Fish so well? Because they come from Elkhart. ”God is Love.” G ERTR UDE 1 NO ALLS 4 ‘Gertie ’ ’ Chorus One of our song birds. Gertie loves to sing and she does it lots.

YOUNG Advisor 24 Ignorance is an enemy of mankind THE PHANTOM SHIP A ship of knowledge with a deck of green and sails of white rested quietly at the source of a gurgling carefree stream. Surrounding the ship was an atmosphere of youthfulness which reflected ra s of imagery and frolic that gradually intermingled with other rays of a more wholesome and intellectual nature. Videte! A phantom of time appeared and in 1912 on one September morning the class embarked. The sun cast its rays on the ship with an omen of good will, and the class was wafted smoothly and methodically onward. As the resources of knowledge widened the stream broadened into a river. Another similar ship appeared from another stream that empties its waters into the river. The two classes immediately join fellowship. During these two years, we learned some basic principles and we anticipated our future travel. Having had eight veats of instructive and interesting travel, we at last reached the major river. During our journey a few embarked and others disembai ked, until in 1920 we numbered thirty-seven. A cry “Ship a hoy” pierced the calm, and our gaze was averted toward tin hazy outline of an object in the distance. Again the phantom “Time” confronted us and welcomed us aboard the strong and substantial ship called High School years,” which is decorated with banners of blue and gold. Miss Beatrice Bonewitz became our second mate, and we appointed various officers of rank. We spent the year in endeavoring to find the1 unknown and in penetrating the Italian peninsula. Though our upper classmen condescended to us in most matters because we bore without betraying our name of Freshman, we were highly elated with our own importance. We had a Hallowe’en party where weird fortunes were told and difficult feats accomplished, attended with adequate merriment. One of the most prominent masked personages present on this occasion was “Miss Madame Fashion Plate” impersonated by Miss Adah Baker. The ship did not falter, but stayed true to its course. Far off is a desired goal, and of the waters of circumstance the ship became master and king. The word, progress seemed to be uttered from the atmosphere around the ship, and an echo lingered to cheer our crew. We sailed onward! In our sophomore year we became a little more meditative and serious. This year we followed our particular hobby of learning the theorem, the to prove, and the proof as found in our geometry books. We also accompanied Caesar in some of his journeys or campaigns, and in doing so shared the honor of his conquests. Miss Flossie Garrison was our second mate for the year, and for one evening we exchanged toil for frolic and hail a bob sled party to share the mirth provided by the season of the snow. In our tour for the year we made the valuable acquaintance of Dickens, Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, and other noted men of both the past and modern ages. As we took a glance from the deck of the ship, all appeared calm, and nothing tended to mar the ship’s pathway. Nothing retarded the ship, and any turbulence in the waters did not cause it to waver, for we not only discerned the beauty and array on the ship, but we observed the substantial and lasting material it consisted of. We sailed onward! 25 Resolutions ore like umbrellas, they are hard to keep In our junior year we pursued different lines of work triumphantly. Mr. Carl Schubert became our second mate. Our class gave two plays. “The Burglar” and “The Flower Shop.” On one pretty spring day we joined in an enjoyable expedition to Silver Lake. With the valuable assistance of our second mate we raised sufficient funds to give the Seniors a wonderful reception. Before leaving our junior year we took a casual glance at what we thought we knew, and we did not feel a sense of disappointment. The waves that issued from the path of the ship marked its course, and it left an impression that did not immediately sink into oblivion. We sailed onward! At last we reached our senior year. We characterized the year by finding out how much we did not know. Mr. Young became our second as well as our first mate, and his excellent counsel and supervision had carried us smoothly throughout the year. The senior class put on the play “All of a Sudden We entered into the various activities, both prominent and less prominent, also into the social functions with unrestrained vigor and interest. Out of our original class of 1920 only twenty remained. Two of the members graduated the preceding year, Bernice Akers and David Heeter. The ones who finished elsewhere were Vera Fosnough, Dorothy Gunter, and Helen Warner. The golden rays of the sun played on the surface of the blue water. A lurch—then a halt; the ship reached the harbor. The Phantom appeared and bade us disembark. As we cast our gaze toward the vast waters of the ocean we heard a voice say, “Launch out into the deep!” Then all was calm—we sailed onward!

NATIONAL WONDER FIVE 'I O PLAY M A N 'II10 ST 10 It I N I I ! It SIT V. The National basketball team from Washington. 1 . , the strongest quintet on the Manchester card this year, will meet the Black and Gold at the Central gymnasium Saturday night. The contest will not only be the biggest treat of the season for Manchester fans, but will mark the first appearance of a big time national term in Manchester this year. The National Wonder Five team is made up of some old players of the N. M. H. S. team of ’24. Harold (iross-nickle, star player and captain on that team has coached the Wonder Five for the last five years. When he left school he took up basketball along with his other work at Princeton University. On receiving his A.

While the Wonder Five is doped to win. it is certain they will meet the strongest team Manchester has. and a team that will fight every minute. GAME CANCELED. Word was received here today that the National Wonder Five game with Manchester University was canceled.

It was learned that Mr. Grossnickle. who was formerly of this place, was very much in love with Kathryn Adams, prominent movie star.

Plans are being completed for the erection of a new corporation which will have its site on South Market Street. The new factory wiil go by the name of High School Necessities Company,” and will be under the supervision of Mr. Galen Landis, who has been in this business for the last eight years. Mr. Landis has a chain of these factories, but this factory is the first of its kind to be located in this vicinity. We. as citizens of North Manchester, are indebted to Mr. Landis for bringing this to our town, as it will fill many opportunities which have been desired for a long time, especially among the high school students. The factory as a whole manufactures fruit jar rubbers. elastic bands (guaranteed to shoot chunks of rubber at least fifty feet, with sure shot), fancy disappearing note paper, easily swallowed chewing gum. quickly dissolved candy, disappearing sharp headed tacks, and other high school necessities. Mr. Landis states: I am glad to have a factory located in my home town, especially since it will be such a benefit. I have already received enough orders to keep my men busy for six months, and there are more coming in every day. I never knew necessities of this kind were so much in demand by high school students. When I was in high school these things were looked upon with favor, but know they have grown to be a necessity. SOON TO LEAVE ON RC-Tl FLIGHT.

This is very handy, as study is not very strenuous, any way, over the week-ends. Here we are furnished with material to keep us going the rest of the week. Most of the speakers seem afflicted with the ailment of “your todays are your futures.” We also learn that determination or ‘ 1 can butt down a stone wall” is a very desirable quality. Also the big ship takes the wind out of the little ships sails quite often! Mr. Young told us a very secret secret in the assembly one morning. It was that we were not to throw paper wads on the gym floor during the progress of a basket ball game! Take notice you fifth graders! Hut there were some very large boys to be fifth gradeis, so let us take notice and let it soak in. Altogether we have had some very interesting and instructive talks during the school year which deal with subjects ranging all the way from the latest anesthetic to the choosing of a life work so we wish to thank the speakers who have appeared before us and the faculty for this convenient breaking up of a class time. Here’s to many more chapel exercises and may they continue to help out the embarrassed pupil in his hour of need. Lklaxd Brubakkr. 35 l)o not ( amble unless you see a good chance to win OI K PLAYGROUND One of the most used places about our school is the playground. This playground is well equipped with apparatus for the building of sturdy bodies so that we may study better. There are slides, teeter-totters, swings, a giant stride, and an ocean wave. These are especially for the use of the grade children. Besides these there are two basket-ball courts and two tennis courts where the skilled and those not so skilled contest daily. Of course, the beginner always does not see the idea of having a net across the court. He maintains, and perhaps rightly, that lie could play better without a net at all. The basket-ball courts are crowded every noon in fair weather, and one wonders when some people have time to eat. The grade pupils have great sport on their apparatus and, no matter what the weather, some brave spirits will be seen performing on the equipment. Even the dignified high school students would formerly deign to amuse themselves on the ocean wave. However, an announcement in chapel has put an end to another pleasure of the curtailed “high schooler.” Ever since that fatal day, Sir Reynard has been meditating upon the sourness of the grapes which he dare not touch!! And a word, too, concerning the people who have children attending the school. The school has done the best that can he done to give the hoys and girls a fine place in which to play; a place where they are safe and yet can have a royal good time. Our school building is modern upside and downside as well as inside and outside, and the playground receives special attention. It seems that sometimes it is attractive enough to bring the older folks over!!! 36 Have faith in everyone, blit take a note when you lend money litti pr (Clasanmt mmsmmm the en.em JUNIORS FBKN A DAMS KATHRYN ADAMS TODD BENDER JOHN BILLINGS LOIS BJOKKLAND G W KN DO L Y N BOLING ER MARY BOLINGER ESTHER BONE KENNETH COOK FREDERICK COUTCHIE RUTH CUNNINGHAM RAY DEARDORFF M EH IA M ELLIOT LOIS FANNING CLARA FLORA GALEN FINNBLL THELMA GABLE RAYMOND GROSSNICKLE CLAUDE GROVE RUTH H BEST AND BEULAH IIIITENSTKEL ROBERT HITE VERA JENKINS HELEN J ENNINGS KATHRYN JOHNSON DANA K1NTNER KENNETH KRANING MERIDETH LEFFEL VIVIAN LIGGETT keith McFarland ruth McFarland HAROLD MUMMEKT LULU PARRETT THOMAS PAUL LENA ROHRER LUCILE RUPPEL NINA ROSS JEROME SMITH THOBURN 8PEICHER JOE TILMAN JOE WAGNER HARRY WEIMER THELMA WRIGHT DOROT11 Y STE V ENS THE JUNIOR DREAM “A tour of the United States! Dad, you don’t mean it! And I’ll get to stop at all the towns and visit all the kids I went to school with at Old Central High. Oh, Dad, what a wonderful birthday present! Ever since I received that letter from Fern Adams, who’s matron of the Girl’s Dorm down at old M. C., I’ve been so homesick. That’s the first place I'm going. Why, there’s Kenneth Kraning, Manchester’s leading dentist, who I read in the paper, guarantees to ‘pull ’em without pain,’ and Kenneth Cook, vetinarian, who specializes on ‘white mule’, and Todd Bender, who would have thought he’d be an undertaker, too? They say his motto is ‘Safety First,’ for he embalms, cremates and buries—he takes no chances. They say he is a dead sure success in his profession. That’s just about all of them I’ve heard about. I know all their addresses, though, for I have always hoped I’d get to visit them to renew friendships and get acquainted with their families; for some of them do have families.” And so it was that I started on my memorable tour of the United States. My first surprise here was when I walked into the station to purchase a ticket. Who should I see looking at me from behind the bars but little Jerome Smith. He wished me 37 Lawyers and woodpeckers have lony bills luck and told me to toll ;ill the kids hollo for him. My train was on time, and there were few passengers getting off or on. As the conductor jumped off the train to assist me in ascending the steps, I noticed a familiar tone in his voice. “This way mndnmc.” I turned and who should I behold but Paul Finnell. He told me there was an old school friend of mine on the train. As he was escorting me to the seat where T m t Lois Bjorkland, he told me Galon was touring Europe, giving a series of temperance lectures. Lois, I found, was married to the Piper of Plvmoutli and was very happy. Mv train stopped at a small city close to New York. Needing recreation, T darted out of the train and into a little ten room for a refreshing cup of tea. To my delight I saw the names written in little gold letters across tin front, “Flora and Jenkins Tea Room.” In mv little chat with them they told me that Miriam Elliot was coaching the girls’ basket ball team of the high school there, and that she was training her team for the National Tournament and had good hope of success. On mv way back I stopped at a large grocery to get some apples. Who should I see behind the counter but Claude Grove, the proprietor. I hurried back to my train, glad that I had seen and heard of more of my old class mates. I reached New York at dark. The Travelers’ Aid helped me to secure a taxi. She said she could recommend this taxi line because it was run by Thomas Paul, a highly respect ed gentleman. After arriving at my hotel safely I asked to be conducted to the manager. I wasn’t surprised when I was led to Ray Deardorff, for I had noticed his name in the telephone directory as the manager of New York’s leading hotel. I secured the best rooms and every convenience the hotel offered, you may be sure. Ray told me I must be sure to see Broadway’s latest, given that night at the Palace. He further informed me that Kathryn Johnson was the director of the famous play. T was eager to see it, of course. When I reached the theater I read in big letters in front: “Special Tonight Only”-—The Great Wagner Orchestra. I found it was directed by Joe Wagner himself. My tour surely was full of surprises! The play was wonderful, the lw'st I had ever seen. I hurried around to the stage door and met Kathryn. She was glad to see me and would not have it otherwise than I go with her. She was spending the night with Helen Jennings, she said. She told me Helen was an interior decorator and had the darlingest little apartment up on Washington Boulevard. When we reached Helen’s, she was just ready to go to the Roof Gardens, whore she was 1o lunch with Lena Rohrer, who was also in tin United States. So Kathryn and T went, too. Much to my surprise , I learned that the Roof Gardens were owned and managed by Millard Wenger, who tin girls said, made half a million dollars every day! Lena had become an authoress and she was now traveling for material for her next book. The next day I went down to visit the editor of the New York Daily Times, John Billings. John was surprised to see me. At noon he took me to a large cafe, which I could see catered only to society. To my amazement he told me it was owned by “Butch” Leffel. I greatly feared my journey would prove fatal. So many surprises were hard on my heart. There were just as many to come yet. I returned to my hotel late that night. In about the middle of the night I remembered trying to wake but could not. I could not breathe. I faintly realized my room was full of smoke, but I could not make a move! At last, after trying vainly to get up, I remembered sinking into darkness. The next thing 1 knew, I heard a faint familiar voice say, “She’ll be all right now.” I felt some one pat my head and I opened my eyes. I was looking straight at Ruth McFarland. She was dressed in white and as I was gradually regaining my senses, I realized she was my nurse. The doctor hovering at the foot of mv bed was Harry Weimer. As soon as I regained my strength and after I had assured myself there were no more of my junior classmates in New York, I started West. i decided to visit the capitol before too far west. I was almost certain I’d find some of my classmates there; in fact, I knew Raymond Grossnic.kle was Postmaster General of the United States. I had to wait at a rather small station on my way to make connections. At the station I noticed a big crowd of people. Being of a curious nature, as soon as T had seen to the transference of my baggage I walked up to the crowd. There was a lady giving a speech on the back end of a passenger train. On going closer I recognized Kathryn Adams as the lady speaker. A bystander told me she was the Republican candidate for President, and was now on her campaign. After the speech I talked to Kathryn a few minutes. I suddenly changed my mind about visiting the capitol and decided to travel with Kathryn for a while instead, knowing she would stop at some of the towns I wished to visit. We decided to go to Fort Wayne to visit the Sacred Heart Catholic School. I had always wanted to visit there. We were taken to the office of the Sister Superior, who, to our : 8 Take a horse by its bridle and a man by his bank account delight, was Marv Bolinger. Mary showed us through the school, and we had quite a little chat. She told us that Ruth Cunningham was a violin teacher in Fort Wayne and was on the rapid road to fame. That evening, desiring something to read, T strolled down to a little book store on a corner. There was quite a bustle within. I learned that Thelma Cable’s latest book of poems was just out ami all were eager for a copv. T secured one and returned home to read and enjov the thoughts of my old friend. As T was walking home T purchased a newspaper of a small boy on the corner. lie asked me if I was a stranger in the city. I told him T was. He then eagerly told me about a big party to be given at the largest slum house there. He kept speaking of Miss Hippensteel, who I learned was the leading social worker of the city. From the conversation of the boy, Beulah seemed to be the guardian angel of all the poor children. It seemed I had friends in all professions of life. I was always running across one or the other. The next day was Sunday. Kathryn and T decided to attend the morning services of one of the leading churches. And so it was when the minister arose to give his sermon T again looked into the face of an old classmate, George Byerly. He was the pastor of this church. After the sermon was over the minister introduced Nina Ross, a missionary, who would give us a short talk on her experiences in India. On reaching the hotel I picked up the Sundav paper to scan the columns of news, thinking I might run across some of my old friends. The first thing I saw consisted of big headlines, saying that Robert Hite, well known Chicago Broker, was made rich over night through oil stocks. Another friend was successful in life. Farther down the page T read that the biggest trial of the year was to take place the first of May. The attorney for the defense was Ruth Ileestand, who was famed for her ability as a lawyer. Another column of the paper told of Harold Mummert, a second Paderewski, who was going abroad to startle Europe. T gave the paper to Kathryn to rend while I packed my baggage to go to North Manchester. We arrived there the next noon. In the afternoon we went to visit the college, which we found was progressing rapidly under the presidency of Dana Kintner. Tn the afternoon we went down town and the first familiar person we mot was Lula Parrett, who was happily married to one of the town bankers. We learned from her that Dorothy Stevens was home visiting. Dorothy had become great at home and abroad as a cartoonist. We visited with her a little while in the evening. As we were going home we were attracted bv an automobile horn, and who should drive up to the curb in a 1945 model Ford coupe but Thoburn Speiclier. He was a prominent salesman of the Ford Agency in town. The next morning Kathryn and I started for Chicago. On the train we met Esther Bone. She was the lady saleswoman of Victor Reducing Records. Wo decided to spend the first day shopping. The first store we came to was a rather massive building called “Ladies’ Shoppe,’’ run by Mademoiselle Fanning. On entering, we learned she was none other than Lois Fanning, with whom we went to school in our junior year. After conversing with us, she asked us if we didn’t want to see Joe. She led us through an archway into the adjoining compartment, which we could see was a beauty parlor. Here, in one of the many little rooms, manicuring an aristocratic lady’s fingernails. was Joe Tilman. We could see that ladies were still Joe’s favorite hobby! That evening we went to a movie to pass the time away. When the play began the first thing that flashed across the screen was, “Thelma Wright’s latest play.’’ Could it b? that Thelma had become a playwright. Then the cast of characters was displayed. To our intense surprise, Lucille Ruppel was the leading lady. Our interest in that was great; you may be sure. The next day Kathryn mentioned Ted Coutchic. She said that she had heard some one say Ted was teaching dancing somewhere in Chicago. We hunted him up and visited him. He told us we must not miss the style show to be given that afternoon at Chicago’s leading department store. The frocks shown were to be the latest styles from Paris. So in the afternoon we made our way to this place. The first model was a tall, slender, light haired girl. As I gave her the second glance, I recognized Gwendolyn Bolinger looking at me from under the brim of one of the latest bonnets of Paris. I could hardly wait till the show was over to talk to her. All at once there was a crash, all went black. Then to me there came a languid sickening feeling. My mouth was dry, and, oh, how thirsty I was. Finally overcome by thirst, I made an effort to open my eyes. My first word was “water.” The water brought me in time to hear some one say, “Worst case of brain fever I have ever had.” I dimly realized that I was the topic of conversation. 39 Your today s arc your future mmmmm the en-em In a few days I was able to sit up. Mother told me that for weeks I had been out of niv head, raving in delirium. “You’ll be able to finish the rest of this year with the other Juniors,” mother told me.

They were practicing for the annual game which was to be held March fifteenth, against their great rival, Hastings College. Hastings had won the game two years ago and Denver the previous year. Therefore the cup would be awarded to the winner of this year's game. On the eventful night as Dick Rawlings, the best forward on the Denver team, was walking toward the dressing room two dusky figures stepped out from behind a building. Rawlings, understanding their object, took a flying leap past them; but too late. A light rap over the head, then blackness. At six o’clock the people began coming to the game; at seven the Gymnasium was three fourths full; and at eight, the time for the game, the whole building was jammed. In the dressing room there was complete confusion. “Where's Dick, I'd like to know! someone said feverishly. “Something must have detained him,” piped in another, “for he was never late before.” “M-I- s-s-sttre hope h-he c-e-comes p-p-pretty s-s-soon or th-this g-g-game will b-be lost,” said Fat, the backguard, who always stuttered when very much excited. “He'll come,” the coach said so calmly that everyone regained new hope. When Rawlings came to his senses he found himself lying in the haymow of an old barn. The first thing he thought of was the game; then some way of escape. “I had my flashlight in my pocket,” he said to himself. “It must be around here someplace.” After groping around blindly for a few minutes, he kicked something. He stooped, picked it up, and found it to be the much cherished article. “Ah, there is a door down to the barn floor,” he exclaimed, flashing it about, “I’ll soon be out of here.” But to his great dismay it was locked securely. The lock looked very rusty, so he thought he might break it if he had a piece of iron. He hunted around the floor and as a reward found a small bar of iron. He gave the loek several hard knocks to which it gave way. He pushed the door open and looked downward. It’s a good twenty feet down but I guess I can drop, he muttered. As he was about to drop he looked out and saw a bulky figure. He turned his flashlight on the object and found it to be a tree. Though the fellows had played very hard the first half, the score was 13-20 in favor of Hastings. But it was different the second half since Rawlings came. The team started the second half with renewed hope and played like demons; and at the second of the third quarter the score was twenty-one to twenty-one. After that neither team could score. Two minutes to play and still a tied score, to play and still a tied score. “Come on, fellows, pep up a little!” shouted Rawlings. “We've got to win!” This was just what they needed, for they started down the floor and could not be stopped until a goal was made. There was a burst of cheers, some pistol shots, and the cup was won. Harmon Bjorkland. 50 Our character is what we arc OUR NATIONAL HERITAGE The English language must not become a (lead language. Neither must it become a mere shelter for vulgarism, cheap slang, and unnecessary word modifications. The English language from its infancy lias been subject to many changes that have resulted from change in business, social, and political conditions. We are helping form these innovations that come into usage. Are we going to make them desirable or undesirable? The English language is endowed with great wealth. Its flexibility, expressiveness, and beauty enable it to convey information, express emotion, and clothe thought in a pleasing manner. Good English is like a diamond displaying its perfection and lustre, not without effect, but becomes a good, wise, practical investment producing value. The English we use ordinarily brands us as educated or uneducated. We may say it is unjust. The brand is inflicted nevertheless. Thomas Gray has said: Full many a gem of purest ray serene. The dark, un fat homed cave of ocean bear Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air. By doing our utmost to become masters of good English, these retarded thoughts, ideas, and emotions may gain expression. We may then justly say we have given the world the best of which we are capable. It is said that the Italian language is for singing, the French language for making love, and the English language for doing business. The salesman’s success is due mainly to the manner in which he conveys his information to the people. Business demands that we know how as well as what to say. Politicians use this art to win the people. Great writers and poets express their fondest hopes, aspirations, and teachings through a language that can express the emotional and calm, the forceful and tender, the gay and solemn, and the humorous and noble. With a knowledge of correct forms of English we are able to converse with great men of the day and comprehend and enjoy the best of speeches and literature. Good English starts us on tin right road to attain SUCCESS. Slang! The fad of youth and common indiscretion of maturity is in existence practically everywhere. We are all directly or indirectly acquainted with it. Correct pronunciation is often slighted. Incorrect usages of words and tense formation are by no means extraordinary occurrences. Foreigners, following our example, acquire the same slovenly manner of speaking. Children, from their infancy, have questionable English impressed upon their minds. Your speech denotes your attitude, your taste, and to a certain degree your traits of character. Slang and other poor English are a menace to vour individual welfare. I do not condemn all slang, but question the continuous use of words or phrases which express no definite meaning and which soon become stale and exaggerated. On the other hand, we must have a deep and lasting sympathy for the living language. Let us strive to keep our language free from vulgarism. By observation and perseverance every individual may make his daily use of Patriotism embrace good English, and a good education requires it. Edna Sroufe. 51 And our reputation is what our teachers think we are BY-GONE SCHOOL DAYS School days, my happy by-gone school days, How I long for yon once more, How I wish for the hours of gladness, In the happy days of yore; How I long for the dear old school mates, And the teachers so kind and true; And just one glance at the dear old school house, Where the years seemed swift and few. I can well remember one mate from all the rest, She was my heart’s desire, for I loved her best; We two together our Life’s path-way trod, Until she was called up higher By the strong hand of God. Now I am living in sweet memories of the past; But I feel that my days are almost numbered, And that my time is coming fast. And now I pray for strength, both strong and bold, While I think of my happy by-gone school days of old. Ray Deardorfp. A POETICAL ATTEMPT There’s a joy that comes, No matter who you are, From reading certain poetry, No matter what you are. The words just flow so smoothly, You never can be sad When you are reading poetry, No matter if it’s bad. But oh, what a different story, No matter who von are, When it comes to making poetry, No matter where you are. Such a jumble and scramble of The words just tumbling by, Your head swims in a wheel of thoughts, No matter how you try. Harry Weimer. ODE TO THE BEE Little bee, little bee, Always busy, always free: What is it you find to do In this world you travel through? Little bee, little bee, Always happy and carefree, As you buzz around the flowers, Hunting shelter from the showers. Little bee, little bee, That men were more like thee; Always happy, never shirk Either duty or their work. 52 Actimtips SS®S®I f®THE EN-EM BETTER SPEECH WEEK Many schools in the last few years have set aside a week designated as “Better Speech Week” during which special observance is made of correct English. At this time special activities are conducted by the school. Among our activities this year was “Tag Day” on which everyone was tagged when they made an error in grammar; a chapel program, and special work in the literary departments. Last hut not least our efforts were culminated in an evening program given in order that the parents might see what had been done concerning this week. This program was especially under the supervision of the English departments and the work produced by the different classes directed by the Seniors and teachers.

Violet pleads with her mother, begging her to see the effect that bad English will have on Billy, who enters here. Finally Mrs. Myers sees the light and in a burst of enthusiasm agrees to improve her English with the help of Violet. The character of Mrs. Myers was well portrayed by Miss Weimer, who depicted the busy mother of about thirty-five, too preoccupied and prejudiced to heed her daughter’s pleas and arguments. The part of Violet Myers, was well handled by Miss IIeestand. Slip enacted very vividly the part of the earnest young school-girl of twelve, greatly enthused by the activities of the school. The humorous character part of Billy Myers was very well acted by Paul Reber and added much spice and amusement to the play.

We have assembled here to dispose of and bury all had English and not to praise it. The Bad English we speak is somewhat remembered, the good is never forgotten, so let it be with our school. The Noble Ilollenberg hath told us we are ambitious; if it is not true it is a grevious fault and grievously has she spoken it. Here under control of Young and all the rest (for Young is an honorable man, so are they all, all honorable men) come I to speak at Bad English’s Funeral. It was my friend, faithful, faithful and true to me until Ilollenberg said it was not correct (and she is an honorable woman). It has kept many students here in school from using good English, does this in him seem correct? 1 speak not to disprove of what Cook hath said hut I will say what I do know. You all used Bad English once and without cause so what withholds you tomorrow over it? Oh! Good English! Thou art fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their speech. Oh! Masters of English, if I were to stir your hearts to mutiny and rage, I would do Young and Cook wrong (who are both honorable men) and I will not do them wrong, I rather choose to speak good English. If you have tears prepare to shed them now. You all know this (Bad English: Hot Dawg! Cat's Pajamas! etc.) IIow clearly we all loved them. My friend, these were the unkindliest stabs of all to our English vocabulary.

This club included boys and girls, and existed only two or three years. At Chapman, Kansas, in 1889, in a county high school, there was organized the first High School Young Men’s Christian Association that has had a continuous existence until the present time. The present standard purpose which the club now holds up was adopted in 1913, at a conference at Culver, Indiana, but it was not until 1914 that the name Hi-Y Club was first used. So far as records show, the name Ili-Y Club was first used in connection with the high school work by the West Side Young Men’s Christian Association in Cleveland. The movement has grown from the start in 1870 at Iola, until at the present time there are more than 2050 clubs, with a membership of more than 1800 hoys. The purpose and slogan of the Hi-Y Club is to “create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” The motto is, “Clean speech, clean scholarship, clean sport, clean living.” A dynamic Christian character is its driving power. The local club was organized early in the fall of 1923, with a charter membership of ten fellows; however, the club did not remain this size, for it was not long before it took in ten fellows more.

S. played the first basketball game of the season with Bippns High School. Manchester played a new style of game on which they had been drilling under the supervision of Coach Stauffer. Manchester easily won by a score of 21 to 10. On November 2 the Manchester boys journeyed to Fail-mount where they met and defeated the reputable Fairmount team. The game was fast and clean and the playing of our team was like cloek work. Fairmount seemed to be helpless against our defense. Kraning starred for Central with eight field goals. The game ended with a score of 42 to 1!). In a hard fought game at South Whitley our team procured another scalp. The game was fast and spirited but at all times was our game. The score stood 40 for Manchester and 23 for South Whitley when the game ended. • • • • In the fourth game of the season Central again played on a foreign floor, meeting Atwood at Warsaw. The game during the first half was closely contested. The score at the end of the half being 17 to 13 in favor of the Blue and Gold. When the game began again Manchester started scoring and soon had the game out of danger. The score at the end of the game stood 37 to 16 with Central as usual at the big end. Nov. 16 Central met the fast Rochester quintet and proved to be a little too fast for the visitors. Kraning again starred for Central caging seven of the eleven field goals. Central played the short pass, short dribble, and short shot game to perfection. The score again in our favor being 28 to 18. Leesburg went down in defeat before Manchester by an overwhelming scoi-e of 30 to 13. Leesburg was plainly outclassed. • • • ' • • On Nov. 30 Washington Center met with a crushing defeat by a score of 48 to 10. Coach Stauffer ran in all the subs but still the Blue and Gold remained far in the lead. Winger and Wine starred with six field goals to the credit of each. Dee. 6 Central won the hardest fought game of the season with Huntington. The game was fast, clean, and very well played by both teams. Wine starred for Central by his superb guarding. The floor work of Rebel- was also a winning factor in the game. The final score was 12 to 11. The results of Coach Stauffer’s splendid work was plainly shown in this hard fought battle. • • ‘ • • On Dee. 7 Central administered one of the worst defeats of the season to Sidney and doing it mainly with substitutes and second team men. It was little more than signal practice for the hoys. The final score was 49 to 7. • ••••• We again met Huntington on Dec. 28 this time at Huntington. In this game we suffered our first, last, and only defeat in the nineteen scheduled games. We changed our game from a defensive to an offensive game and it took Huntington by surprise. Our men were playing up to standard except for 64 “I'll have a good finish anyway,” said the man drinking furniture polish mmmm the en.em mmmmm basket shootinp:. Hard luck on baskets coupled with the excellent playing of Huntington's five lost us the game. Reber by his floor work and splendid guarding won his place as one of the most valuable men we have. The final score was 21 to 18. On Jan. 5 Central challenged the Alumni for a game when Wolf Lake failed to show up. The challenge was accepted but the Alumni got the worst of it. The High School boys won by a score of 57 to 11. • ••••• For the second time we met South Whitley on Jan. 10. Not being handicapped by a small floor we could play better basket ball than when we met them before. Deardorff caged eleven and Reber got seven of the twenty-six baskets. We won by a score of 52 to 10. Jan. 17 we met and defeated Wabash, our old time rivals. The game was fast and closely contested, especially in the first half. (Irossnickle was high point man for Central. The game ended with Manchester in the lead, having 37 points to 26 for Wabash. On Jan. 18 we added the thirteenth victory to our list when we defeated Wolf Lake by a score of 29 to 21. Our game last year was a hair raiser but this one was not so close. The visitors were always kept in the rear but we had to keep moving. Jan. 25 we again defeated Leesburg, this time on their floor. Our fellows started with a big lead but were handicapped by a slippery floor. The final score was 34 to 26. In our sixteenth game our boys came out against Fort Wayne Southside with a .ip which they held throughout the game. At an early stage of the game Grossnickle received an injury which laid him out for the rest of the evening. The playing of the Central boys was splendid and Fort Wayne was plainly outclassed. The score stood 49 for Manchester and 19 for Fort Wayne at the end of the game. On the following evening we met Columbia City on their floor. The game was fast and rough but Manchester came out on top with a score of 40 to 31. Indianapolis Star—Warren's dark-horse aspirations went glimmering at North .Manchester Friday night. All it will take now to make this whole championship affair a real muddle will be a few more “dark horse whitewashes'' from the Northern regions. Dyed-in-the-wool fans and dopesters often think the northern state line is a few miles north of Richmond, as far as titles and possibles are concerned, but a few more stunts like North Manchester pulled will dim a lot of Southern glory. Score 49 to 21. • ••••• In the last of the nineteen scheduled games we again won from Columbia City bv a score of 35 to 29. This again proves that the kind of game Manchester plays can win over tin team that plays the rough and tumble game, of which Columbia City is a good example. 65 “You're stuffing me said the mattress to the faetory-hand “DISTRICT TOURNAMENT REVIEW” In the Sectional Tournament held here Manchester played and won four games.

Our boys certainly played the game, and their floor work and attitude were constantly commented and exclaimed upon by the crowd. Among other things the Indianapolis News spoke of Logansport as one of the “most surprised” teams. Mar. 15—N. M.’s Waterloo—but a glorious one! Score 27-37. The fellows gave Bedford a fight that wore them out and paved the way for Martinsville. The team played well and took the defeat in the fine cheerful, true-sportsman-like spirit for which Central is noted. We come tip smilin’! Always! Well, its all over now. I went to the Tournament and I had a wonderful time! I never saw a team come up like North Manchester. I have been with the team and watched them all season, watched them pull through! They have shown the state what sort of stuff they’re made of, and have put North Manchester on the map. Their whole season has been brilliant, but considering the coach and the material and the school and the town back of it, its no wonder. We are justly proud of Deardorff who made forward on the All-State First team; and his average was also the highest of any man at the Tournament ! I guess that’s showin’ ’em ain’t it? Wine was given honorable mention, and named as one of the best back-guards in the state. We certainly have a warm spot in our hearts for Stauffer, who carried our team through to the State. I ‘m for you Bob! The Press. 66 Never too old to yearn The BASKET BALL GAME OF 1! .' 0. The game of basketball, in nineteen hundred and fifty says Knute Rockne, the famous football coach of Notre Dame, will be much tamed and will become better known as the “Sissys’ Paradise.” To understand the basketball game of nineteen hundred and fifty, the principles of the game will have to be explained to the reader. To qualify for a position on this basketball team, the candidates must wear headbands and sashes of the most brilliant and penetrating colors, know how to use the vanity case very gracefully and to use it very plentifully and fruitfully, so as to give the frontis-piece the required luminous spectra. Above all you must carry a vanity ease as. a watch charm at all times. You must be able to dance very gracefully or at least be able to keep time with the music of some Waltz or Foxtrot. The last qualification is that each member must wear keen black sideburns of sheik fame. If you can meet these qualifications you may join the Bon-Bon team of nineteen hundred and fifty. The referee will be a stately and airy gentleman wearing a silk stove-pipe hat, an evening dress suit, a well kept mustache, sideburns of Sheik brand, an eyeglass pinched in one corner of his right eye. In his hand he will carry a special whistle bought at the nickle and dime store, that sounds like the echo of a stray steamboat whistle, to call the combatants together. When the.honorable referee blows a shrill blast on the whistle and the pianist plays the Bridal March, out dance the Bon-Bons and the Sheiks on the floor. They dance around the floor once and then line up in center facing their opponents. Then at another blast of the referees whistle each player takes arms with his opponent and dance to their respective positions. Instead of hitting the ball while in the air, they let the ball hit the floor and then push it towards their respective goals, all the while dancing to the tune of some sensational foxtrot. At the second crack of the gun the game is at an end, the players dance to the front and bow in unison to the spectators. 67 It takes courage for a bald man to bay a wig S«Sii8i3 THE EN-EM$MiSaffiS?g Another one of our stars! Deardorff, “Curly.” He did not fret started right at the first of the season, but he staged a big come-back in our game witli South Whitley. He came back with a zip and lie has stayed, making a very efficient forward. Good stuff, old man, keep it up!! All-Regional team. All State first team. When you talk about stars let me introduce to you a real one, Winger-“Otho” who is a new man this year and who is one of our big men. lie has been a steady, consistent player and has always been on the job when needed. A sure shot and has been a winning factor in many of our games. We are sorry you are leaving us this year. Honorable mention! Grossnickle—“Bosco” one of our All District stars!!! Wheel Our Captain. For the past two years he has been one of the mainstays of the team, lie has the fighting spirit and has proven his worth as Captain by putting the pep into his fellow team-mates. We’ll miss you next year when the boys line up for battle. Wine—“Ktorky” 'nother District All-Star who does his act as back guard. He is also another one of our six-footers and he is endowed with a long reach which enables him to cover much territory. He has proven to be a stone wall which our opponents have been unable to get around or through. Honorable mention! We'll miss you! Kraning—“Tramp” one of our six-footers! Did you say he was a star? Well I guess so! He’s our All District Center! Tramp is one of our main men and a big cog in Stauffer’s basket ball mechanism. 11 is floor work has been wonderful and he ranks as one of our highpoint men. He sure will shine for X. M. 11. S. next year. All-Regional team. 68 Dickey—“Tip” played liis first year on the Varsity. Although not playing in many games lie made a fighting back-guard and a fit substitute for Wine, always doing his best when called upon. Beiitg the ninth man he could not participate in the tournament, but he remained a loyal booster in every respect. N. M. 11. S. is sorry you are a Senior. Cook—“Jake . Playing his second year on the Varsity has made a good substitute forward, although not playing in so many games he has proven that he has the stuff and he put it across when needed. N. M. H. S. is glad that it will have you another year. Stauffer—“Bob” is our coach and knows Basket Ball from A to Z. lie introduced the pivot, short shot, short pass, and the short dribble game here this year and the success of the team this year over other years proves tKe efficiency of the game. We wish to say here, that much of the credit for our success this year belongs to Bob and his coaching ability. Keber—“Doc” is probably our fastest floor-man and he is one hundred per cent scrap! lie is an all round good man, making a good substitute at either forward or floor-guard. He proved his worth in our game with Huntington. N. M. II. S. and its fans will miss you. Leffel—“Butch” our jolly old guard has played a good game this year and will be one of the main stays next year for N. M. II. S. He has been a sturdy, dependable and consistent substitute for either floor-guard or hack-guard. His optimism and comical sayings have kept the team in good spirits. 69 Yet lots of people are doing that very thing every day Top Row—Meriam Elliot, Lola Mae Woimer, Marie Little (Coach), Kathryn Adams, Kathryn Johnson. Middle Row—Cozetta Meek, Sarah Snider. Bottom Row—Vivian Liggett, Kathryn Kircher, Grace Kohr (Captain), Erma Raber. There’s “Cozy” Meek, our forward so bold When she gets the ball she sure makes the goal. Another point maker, Kathryne Johnson, by name, Who has won much praise for her plays in the game. “Cream” Elliott, our center, who is swift of feet, And at getting the hall she can’t he heat. Vivian Liggett, a guard, you can’t get past, Who’s quick on her feet and exceedingly fast. “Burpsie” Kohr, the other guard, and Captain of the team, Does she like the team? Well she thinks it’s a dream. Lela Weimer, running center, who’s lank and lean, And she’s sure good at tossing the hall to “Cream.” This makes up the fighting six in all And then there’s subs who are good at playing ball, “Kate” Adams and “Ermpse” Haber who are both scrappy, And “Frank” Kircher and “Sally” Snider who play well when they’re happy. This makes up our big TEX, They can fight and scrap just like men. 70 And hr is truly poor mho courts all PHYSICAL ElMTATIOX That we believe in training the body as well as the mind is evidenced by the fact that regular gymnasium classes meet twice each week for both boys and girls. The regular work consists of formal drill and marching tactics, corrective exercises, apparatus work, and games. In the first part, the formal drill work, the pupils are taught quickness of thought and the correlation of the mind with the muscular actions. In corrective exercises an attempt is made to correct the three main bodily defects, Ixmiosis, Scoliosos and Kyphosis. In the apparatus work, the training of the inusdes to act with precision and endurance is accomplished. Finally, by games, such qualities as sportsmanship, fairness, alertness, and good fellowship, besides body development, are stressed. To sum it all, the object of physical training as a part of our school work is to assist in developing the pupil physically, socially and ethically, in such a way as to make him a thoroughly efficient member of society. It seeks to correct detrimental physical tendencies whether inherited or acquired, to establish and maintain the habit of correct posture, to develop bodily and mental poise, to stimulate organic activity and assist in developing quick and accurate physical and mental action. 71 1 grouch is the rust on the machinery of life Back How—Lucilc Huber, Kathryn Kohser, Thelma Wright, Kay Deardorff, Miss Hol-lrnbcrg, Kathryn Johnson, Joe Til man.

Vivian Liggett, Clifford Dickey, Katheryn Kosher The Dramatic Club is one of the youngest organizations in high school, having only been organized in January 1024. However, some very interesting meetings have been given for the benefit of the members. Special mention must be given to the extemporaneous speeches of Joe Tilman and Ted Coutchie on “Why I Like Girls Better Than Boys,’1 and “My First Date’’ (?) The first play to be given in public by the Club is to lx given at the Dice Club program during commencement week, under the auspices of Miss Grace Hollenberg, who is sponsor of the clul . Qualifications for membership are very strict, a high standard of scholarship being required and public speaking ability being necessary. During the coming year the Club intends to stage several good plays. The study of drama will lx taken up, and modern plays and their tendencies will be studied. Although the Dramatics Club is still in its infancy, great things can be expected of it in the near future. 72 Man leads woman to the altar, bat there his leaders hi ) ceases OPERETTA The school operetta, “The Trial of John and Jane,” was given on the evening of December 20th, to a large and appreciative audience. All the schools of the city took part, tin high school pupils taking the principal parts, while groups of tin grade students were “fairies” and “goops.” The operetta was composed of lively songs and amusing dialogues, the action taking place in a forest glade in which King Cole and his lords and ladies were holding court. Two children, John and Jane, were brought into his court because they refused to believe in story book characters. Age old heroes and heroines of fairy stories testify against the culprits. The King decided that they had committed a great and terrible crime and that as a punishment their Christmas day should be taken away from them. They sobbingly declared their belief in Santa Hans, to the amazement of King Cole, who then repealed their sentence. The scene closed with the singing of a Christmas carol. Paul Browne .of the fifth grade, played the part of John, and Margaret Coutchie, of the fourth grade, the part of Jane, both doing exceedingly well. Ray Deardorff was very much at home in the part of the King, and Supt. Cook played Santa Claus, a part for which he was admirably suited Miss Maris, the musical instructor of our schools, directed the Operetta, and every one conceded it to be one of the best musical programs given by the North Manchester schools. 73 There is plenty of room at the top of some people s heads “ALL OF A SUDDEN PEGGY” Cast Anthony, Lord Craekenthorp .............Leland Brubaker (Fellow of the Entomological Society) The lion.

S. and her pretty young daughter Peggy have been invited to the home of Lord Craekenthorp much to the disgust of his mother Lady Craekenthorp. Lady Craekenthorp realizes that her son is in range of Cupids darts and decides that their courses should be changed in the direction of her other son, Jimmy. Or in other words Jimmy is to fall in love with Peggy and distract her attention from Anthony who is in control of the estate and her chief delight. Archie her brother is her right hand man in the plot. Peggy feels that if she is out of the way Anthony will propose to her mother and all will be happy. She asks Jimmy’s advice in the matter giving the impression that the people referred to are characters in her new novel and the suggestion is that she “spoof’’ her mother. Jimmy living up to his end of the contract has no trouble giving the impression of being in love for he has certainly fallen in love with Peggy “At first sight.” Peggy however does not return his love as she is only interested in her novels and getting affairs settled between her mother and Lord Cracken-thorpe. The next act finds Peggy in Jimmy’s town apartment having left the impression with the people at Hawkurst that she has eloped with Jimmy. Anthony left with Mrs. O’Mara, realized that his affections had been misplaced which he hastily transfers to Mrs. O’Mara. She comes down stairs and runs right into Jimmy and after due explanations Peggy tells Jimmy that she truly loves him and that it happened that afternoon “ALL OF A SUDDEN.” 74 Idleness is the mother of wont ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra lias been such a pleasure to both director and members that if the audiences on the occasions of our public appearance have gotten some little joy from the chords and discords, presented, the members and director are satisfied that the Orchestra is closing a successful year. Tramping through rain, snow, sleet and hail, made the members feel sometimes that Orchestra was not worth while, after all. especially if one carried a heavy E flat saxophone or perhaps a bass viol or a whole set of percussion instruments. But on hearing the director’s familiar “one, two, three four,” members forgot discomforts of night Orchestra practice, and rapt attention for two hours was in order. This length of time, of course, was sometimes a great trial to players of wind instruments, and when “time out” was declared and the great privilege of running to the drinking fountain was denied, the trusty old “Boy Scout canteen,” a east off milk bottle, or even a turpentine bottle certainly did come in handy for carrying the 1120 to wet those dry lips and throats. The Orchestra boasts an unusual instrumentation for a high school of this size, there being seven violins, four saxophones, two clarinets, bass viol, cornet, drums, and piano. Indeed, one member was so versatile that neither the trombone nor drums, piano nor bass viol held a terror for him. We always had two of these four instruments, even when our drummer played basket-ball. Practice has been hard, and playing marches when some of us have so much desired jazz occasioned some arguments, but we are loyal to our High School Orchestra. On all of our public appearances we have rendered our services joyfully, and have done our best. 75 Laugh in your sleeve, the direel route lo your funny bone HOYS’ GLEE CLUB Some H. S. boys, believing in that old saving, “Music liatli power to soothe tlie savage breast, ’ and that other one, “Music is God s best gift to man, were pleased when the director of the High School Chorus asked those of the Chorus who wished to belong to a Glee Club to stay after school for a “try out.” The director liked the spirit shown by the boys in so willingly exercising their melodious voices, and with such hearty cooperation the boys and director were soon on the road to produce some real harmony! The very first real practice made the auditorium ring with such entrancing sounds that people coming in for a practice of the senior play quietly sat down to listen and enjoy our Ruff Stuff songs. The primary aim of the Glee Club is to learn to harmonize our voices in song, getting real music from each rendition of a song. We must, however, take note of the social side of such an organization. A splendid social spirit is created in this club, which makes entertaining others and cultivating musical talent go hand in hand. Finding music to suit the mood is an easy task when there is one person to please, hut finding music to suit the mood of from twelve to sixteen high school boys not being so easy, our practice was not always just what each and every one wanted. But when high school boys of the caliber of the members of this club make tip their minds to stick to a ship, that ship doesn't usually sink. Loyalty to the director, ambition to make the club an outstanding activity of the school, and regular attendance at every practice have made our Boy’s Glee Club the great success that it is! 76 Many have too much, hut none enough EN-EM§i 8SMJM THE GIRLS’ GLEE GLEB Music has become more and more important as a social factor. It is one of the five arts, and throughout the ages mankind has given expression to his emotions through it. It affords an outlet to ideas and thoughts engendered by the mighty world movements, and reacts in its pure and elevated forms upon the minds of men to aid in over-coming the pressing dangers of a gross materialism. Especially in this country lias this need been felt. One of the ways that a few students of Central High School have been able to meet this situation is through song. Shortly after Christmas the Girls’ Glee Club was organized with Miss Maris as its director, and to Miss Maris our Glee Club owes all. for her untiring efforts and her unique methods of directing. Since we meet only once a week, we have not been able to prepare programs for a great many public appearances, hut. with an “Evening of Song” as our goal and Commencement not many weeks in the future, we have found no idle moments in our evenings at practice. Bad weather on Glee club night has meant nothing in our young lives, and we have felt amply repaid for our efforts to come. We always go away with a well-learned lesson to a well-earned rest.

OR KEN' THINGS GROW It was on the 2nd day of November that the senior class of our high school decided that the circulating manager and the business manager should choose sides to sell annuals. The side losing was to get on its prayer bones to the winding side, admitting its defeat! The senior colors were used for the two sides. The circulating manager, being a lady, got her choice of colors. White, she chose; green, he had to take! It was decided that we should have the coming -Monday off to sell annuals. The whites were to take the part of town west of Walnut street, and the greens the east part. The whites had a lot of wind but they had no talent for selling annuals! They tried to discourage us hv calling us greenies, but our motto was. “Green Grows.” They could not even think of a motto, so they gave up ragging us. If we could not have surpassed the achievements of the whites we should have felt that we had indeed made very poor use of our talents. The whites became aware of the fact that they were completely outclassed by the greens. We approached the public in such a pleasing manner that they could not refuse to buy a good snappy high s hool annual. If a person refused to buy an annual, the whites left him without another word, while we showed real salesmanship. At the close of the contest our side of the thermometer was about twice theirs.

ANNUAL DRIVE On Fel . 8 the night our high school team showed their splendid work against the Warren team, you will all remember your first impression as you entered the school building. The privilege was extended to the public that night to subscribe for an annual. They went fast and a great number came in on the last call. It just goes to show that it pays to advertise! CONSOLATION ’Tis mid-afternoon on a murky day. The birds sail lazily over the bay, Evening draws nigh and the vespers ring. But the sound comes but faintly. The vague unrest that had filled me Has gone with the heat of the day. Like the birds which at sundown Have silently flown away. Yolande Bunker. A PREDICAMENT Like liquid sunshine on the shimm'ring lake. Like burnished gold, so dazzling and so rare, It shed its glories in her wake. The wonders of her golden hair! My Jessie! Like fire at night on the volcano brink, Like all the pent up furies of the color-world, Wherein the ugly die and sink. Her flaming Titian hair unfurled! My Annabel! Like midnight in a garden rich with Jasmine blooms, Like inky shadows in old castle halls, While on Fate's mystic looms, Her midnight hair in beauty falls. My Onalee! I’ve waxed poetic; now I don't know what to do; I like each one so well, I vow When I see her, “Now I will marry you!” I’ think I have it all decided; Then I meet the other one, And every thought that I’ve confided To myself is quite undone. Each one’s as sweet and pretty as can be; The trouble is, I guess, with me. There is, I fear, just one more chance. It's this--I’ll get another girl!

Anyway we'll get the Seniors for it. .Members of the Senior class were invited to assemble in the auditorium on Thursday morning Feb. 28 to explain the presence of a considerable amount of green paint on the walks and a green and white banner on the standpipe. Although surviving an intense grilling by the main profs, of the faculty and in the presence of the marshal and deputy of this city, we were unable to elucidate upon the matter. A rumor was out that deputy Frank Kohr knew who the culprits were but according to his statement it was only supposition. Sleuths of the Senior class struggled to unravel the mystery but since it was our colors which were on the walk, as an act of courtesy we cleaned it off. However it was not as bad as it sounds, for our gang had a great time, gasolining and alcoholing the walks. Cappie Ilippensteel braved the danger on the stand pipe and nobly volunteered to take the Senior banner down. (It’d been there long enough anyway.) Apple butter sandwiches were made at the home of Lucile Huber and served to the tired workers and a good time was had by those present. We thank vou one and all. SENIORS. P. S.

The stars strive to give cheer, But the moon fails to appear; And tlie world seems out of gear As the wind follows his career. In the distance is a light, And the train whistles shrill. A dog’s sudden bark in the night, And the wind attends his will. Loneliness is east On man and all the earth As the wind bounds more fast, Leaving a sting in its mirth. Sadness begs to reign.
