And unto one he gave Eve talents, to another two, and to another one, to every man according to his several ability. ' I khen he that received the live tal- ents, went and traded with the same and made thern other Eve talents. And likewise he that had received two, -he also gained other two. -Matt. 25 FOREWORD y nd so to the students of Cen- tral High School have been given talents -- of body, of mind, of spirit. To some they have been given pro- fusely, to others sparingly. All have used them well. This book is a record of those talen- ts, of the Way each student herein has spent his own, and how they have been used to bring honor and happi- ness to him and to his school, CENTRAL OF FORT VVAYNE WAI- ll IM Illl DEDICATION ' .o those who used the talents bestowed upon them by their Master in such a Way as to make possible Central---her halls, her creditable history, her honored tradi- tions, her opportunities of the future. To those fathers and mothers and citizens of this, our city, who have made possible the utilization of our ta1ents,tWe dedicate this 1929 Caldron. '?i1?

KNIGHT Mr. Knight, who taught classes in machine shop at Central for 22 years, was greatly loved by those Who knew him. His knowledge, his skill, his spirit of altruism are sorely missed. l-lis death resulted from pneumonia. CHARLES LIGGETT ' Charles Liggett Was killed by an auto- mobile during his third year in Cen- tral. A quiet unassuming boy, he was thoroughly dependable and Well liked by his friends. He would have been a member of the 1929 graduating class. GLENN DAFFURN Glenn Dafliorn completed his senior Work at the end of the first semester. A few days later he contracted influenza. I-Ie died February 8. He Was a quiet, modest youth, popular with the stu- dents who knew him. ,,.... -,,-,v,...,,, 1 .

Wehrenberg, Social Council R. Gardner, Social Council R. Potterf, Advisor E. McKinnie, Advisor H N Wil WE WHO GRADUATE Swinging down the hall, the seniors pushed all aside in order to get to their classes on time. A little frosh, who was pushed to one side, gazed at them, his ad- miring eyes large and shining as he mut- tered, Gosh, someday I'll be like that- maybe. The little freshman wandered further. On the steps outside the building he saw two distinguished seniors conversing. Being curious, he ventured closer and this is what he heard. Say, Bill, our class sure put over the dances and parties. Do you remember the Blue Moon Dance when Peter Certia was president? Yea, that was pretty good, but do you remember the Dance 0' Hearts and the Junior Prom? I sure do and, boy, I hear this com- mencement dance will beat them all. We sure were a peppy bunch. Everything we put on went over big. Remember the S.O.S. vaudeville? We cleared over 150 bucks on that. Yep, after all, the struggle has been worthwhile. At last I know that we alone are important. There are none who know more. Who was it that said 'Let there be no others before us?' Well, that's the way I feel about us. This, brieiiy, is the history of the class of 1929 whose members leave Central in a few weeks. They have accomplished much individually and collectively and leave be- hind them a splendid record. g.f- . if f 12 1 WJ! ll llnlilll 1' , A M THE HONOR STUDENTS The sixteen seniors pictured here were named on the four-year honor roll, their av- erage for the four years being above 90 per- cent.

Class of 1930 Into the vast realm of high school life back in 1926 came a group of new pupils. They came from different schools and joined in the same class to make that class name go down into the history of Central High School. At their first meeting in a group they organized under the leadership of Irene Dillon as their president, Betty Van Arnam, vice-president, and Maurice Cook as the secretary and treasurer. At their next meeting the faculty advisors were chosen-Miss Aumann, and Mr. Eyster. There was no social council elected but a small committee was named by the advisors and the class officers to take care of the planning of parties and dances. The first dance to be given by this class was one of the biggest events on the social calendar of that year. The next year the class organized under the leadership of Jean Johnston, president. Later he moved to another town and the duties of president fell on the shoulders of Robert Spice, who was elected vice-president. The ofhce of secretary and treasurer was given to Betty Van Arnam. The social council of that year was made up of Virginia Blosser, Joe Williams, and Irene Dillon. The faculty advisors of the year were Miss Pence and Mr. Virts. Their social gatherings and dances proved very successful. This year at their election of ofiicers, Joe Williams was chosen presidentg Robert Spice, vice-president, and the ofiice of secretary-treasurer went to Ted Buesching. The social council chosen for the year was Virginia Blosser, Betty Van Arnam, and Pete Vincenski. The advisors picked to oversee the class were Miss Mary Louise Voorhees and Mr. Willis Richardson. Among the activities of the class was the junior class three-act comedy entitled Kempy and the Prom. Both reflected glory on the class of '30, 33 Next Year's Seniors-The Class of 1930 Alford, George Allwardt, Reinhold Babb, Jack Babb, Jesse Baker, Marjorie Balliet, Kermit Bastian, John Beckman, Maurice Besore, Eldred Bittler, Ruth Blosser, Virginia Bobilya, Charles Bojrab, Joseph Boldt, Oliver Bolens, Maxine Bosell, Norman Bowman, Raymond Boyd, Paul Bourne, Raymond Brase, Sigmund Brenner, Carl Briggs, Carl Brogan, Doris Broxon, Gerald Buesching, Ted Buhr, Robert Burke, Don Byrer, Mary F.

Jar Class of 1932 Once again a group of naive people entered the portals of this school and were turned into a true Central class. This class, known as freshmen, became well organized and a peppy class in the course of a few weeks. They showed their pep and zip by electing Dick Vogelsang as president of the class. Dick is a reserve yell leader a reporter on the Spotlight staff and has shown his leadership in both places. Dorothy Sutton was elected vice-president. Carmela Cafaro, a talented musician, was elected secretary. Kathleen Kinsley, John Malay, and Flo Pio were elected social council. The class chose Miss Marie Christrnan and Mr. R. Virts as class advisors. Early in the first semester they held a fair. It was a real fair with a balloon ascension, side shows, and everything that goes with a fair. In the second semestev they held an Outdoor Party. 44 umm 11.0111 ' The Freshmen-Class of 1932 Ackerman, Simon Aldrich, Billy Alexander, William Alter, Eugene Alter, Stephen Anderson, Rawl Andrew, Agnes Angell, BonCelene Anspach, Mary Alice Arick, Evelyn Arnold, Virginia Ashton, Ruth Babb, Curtis Babrook, Zelpha Bacon, Don Baggs, William Bagley, Pauline Bair, Dorothy Baker, Donna Baker, Luella Bangs, Una Joyce Barbour, Dorothy Barrick, Harold Barto, William Bare, Edna Beck, Eber Beck, Madeline Beerman, Margaret Beers, Barbara Belschner, Raymond Bennet, William Bernstein, Sam Blitz, Eugene Blanton, Howard Blitz, Edith Bohde, Anna Boldt, Betty Brautzsch, Herbert Brighton, Marjorie Brittenham, Virginia Brookins, Wayne Brouse, Ralph Brown, Gerald Brown, Ned Brown, Ruth Anna Brueggemann, Andre Buchanan, Ethel Buhr, Ruth Burton, Kathryn Busse, Ruth Cafaro, Carmela Cains, Joseph Cantwell, Paul Carpenter, Robert Cartwright, Donald Catullo, Mary Clark, Anna Jane Click, Bernice Collins, William Coulter, Robert Covault, Tlovd Cowell, Kenneth Crabill, Mildred W Craig, Kenneth Craighead, Donald Crandal, Bonnie Crandal, George Cross, Grant Cummins, Vernon Currant, William Daler, Maud Doseler, William Daughtry, Lester David, Amelia Davies, Alvin Davis, William Arthur Davis, William W.

Expertly has he steered it toward the harbor of success, for our school system ranks high among those of the nation. The task of directing a high school is by no means a menial one. Mr. Fred H. Croninger, who has been principal of this high school for eight years, has, however, successfully accomplished this task. Mr. Croninger also takes an active interest in all extra curricular activities, and is well liked by teachers and students. Principal F. H. Croninger WAI ll llil ill! Anna B. Lewis, Dean Although she is given the title Dean of Girls Miss Anna B. Lewis has a personal interest in every student, both boys and girls. She is always willing and ready to dis- cuss with you your troubles, and to advise you whenever advice is needed. The students of Central would certainly be deprived of a great deal if they did not have Miss Chapin to whom they can go for lost books and answers to innumerable and unnecessary questions. They always find Miss Chapin ready with an answer although she holds the position of clerk, not teller. The keeper of records holds a position that might easily fill up the time of two people. However, Miss Marie Ehle gives unsparingly of her time to fulfill her duties, which she does with the excellence, accuracy and speed that only Miss Ehle can show. A. F.

OUR FACULTY C C NE big happy family might characterize Central's faculty, numbering sixty- four this year. They use all the talents at their disposal to make high school life worth while and interesting and to develop latent talents in their students. At the head of the largest department in the school is Mrs. Vera Lane. Other teachers working with her are: M. Ruth Brown, R. K. Butler, Hazel Hawkins, Marian Ingham, Esther J. Thomas, Aosza Tonkel, Katherine V. Welch, Geneva Burwell, Lillian Bassett, and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider. To be broadminded one must have an acquaintance with some foreign language. Central offers courses in Latin, French, Spanish, and German. At the head of this department is Mary Harrah, Latin teacher. The other Latin teachers are: Eva M. McKinnie, Florence Lucasse, and Leah F. Austin. Mildred Brigham is the instructress of French, while Lillian Bassett and L. A. Stroebel teach Spanish and German respec- tively. To teach of the past, to prepare for the future is the purpose of the history depart- ment. Central has a very capable group of history instructors with Mary O. Kolb as its leader. Other members of this department are: Mary Catherine Smeltzly, Willis Richardson, Rex Potterf, and Vera Pence. Our school offers varied science courses, one of which must surely appeal to every student. One year's science is required of every pupil before graduation, physics specifically for the boys. Charles D. Dilts teaches chemistry, while Harry L. Veatch is instructor in physics. Botany, biology, and physical geography are taught by Meredith C. Aldred, Howard H. Michaud, and Gertrude Nielson respectively. Even though it is purely optional the vocational department has a very large enroll- ment. The teachers in this department are: Roland Mottar and Irven Tonkel, co- operative courseg W. W. White, printing, L. G. Hemphill, auto mechanics, Gilbert M. Wilson, electricity, Earl W. Springer, auto and electricity. John H. Hines heads this department. Heading the department which offers courses in algebra, plane and solid geometry, advanced and college algebra, and trignometry is Mary Elizabeth Gardner. Her co- workers are Marie Christman, John Reising, R. C. Virts, and Charles P. Turpin. To be able to prepare appetizing foods and to make clothes is quite an accomplish- ment. The girls in the home economics department learn this under the following very capable teachers: Amy S. Barnes, Mabel M. Byers, Gertrude H. Keep, and VVilma Strauch. After having taken the commercial course a pupil should have a knowledge of arithmetic, office practice, simple and advanced bookkeeping, typing. shorthand and dictaphone, and a comptometer. Teaching these subjects are: Harry B. Immel, L. A. Johnson, John R. Jones, and Esther Thomas. In the manual training department the pupil learns to make useful articles for the home. The instructors are G. H. Russel, the head of the department, Charles O. Mays, Basil Shackelford, Roy M. Spaulding, and Bertram Welbaum. Lending its hand to add to the beauty of Central through the publications and by means of posters is the art department. Anna M. Newman and Mary Louise Voorhees are the instructors. Adding much to Central's beauty by means of music is 'the di- partment under the direction of William R. Sur. He directs the band, orchesira, glee c-ubs, and quartets. Miss Marjory Suter brings pleasure to the school through her work in dramatics. Murry Mendenhall is coach of Central's teams and boys' gymnasium instructor, while Ingrid Soderlund does the same type of work with girls. Both coaches give much of their own time for the betterment of athletics in Central. Without a place to make maps, read collaterals, etc., Central's students would be lost. The library is probably the most popular room in school. Erdean F. McCloud heads the librarians and has as her assistants Hester Perry and Ethel M. Shroyer. , ' .

A unique plan of trade training was inaugurated at Central High School in Feb- ruary of 1927, with a nucleus of twenty ambitious young men, proud of their blue denim shirts and unafraid of honest toil. There are 36 students now enrolled, 13 of whom graduate this spring and enter full-time work with the International Harvester Company. The outstanding features of the plan are these: Students secure two years credit on their trade apprenticeship during their junior and senior years, and receive a high school diploma at the end of the usual four years. Apprentice wages are paid for time worked in local industrial plants, amounting to a minimum of S800 for the two years. An additional year of work after graduation completes the apprenticeship and installs the student in steady employment as a journeyman in a highly skilled trade such as machinist, tool-maker, die-sinker, sheet-metal worker, pattern-maker, foundry- man or draftsman. Instruction is based on a two-weeks alternation between school and factory, throughout the calendar year. A special curriculum is offered, matching the related theory with the student's progress in the shops. A splendid foundation of practical experience is afforded students desiring to cmtinue with technical engineering training. Five industrial plants are now enthusiastically co-operating: International Har- vester Company, Fries Machine and Tool Works, Horton Manufacturing Company, S. F. Bowser 8: Company, and Truck Engineering Company. Several other firms are to adopt the plan this fall. WAI ll llil Ill' 57 IN THE SHOPS A short, general rotating course pro- ceeds the selection of major and minor subject matter in the shops. The general work occupies the first or freshman year. After a try- out in all the shops the pupil should se- lect his advanced vo- cational work with greater wisdom. This advanced work should not be less than a two-year vo- cational course in one shop. That which fur- nishes a well-bal- anced drawing class profoundly rests upon the equipment of the department. C e n t r al certainly can boast of this for better and more adequate equipment is being added to the department. Another vocation which a student may select is forging. This practice is not only extremely bene- ficial but it gives the scholar an insight of art. A skillful smith is almost certain of employment in the industrial centers because of the de- mand for such ar- tisans. The automobile shop is another of the important de- partments of the vo- cational branch of our school. The stu- dents become ac- mminted and skill- ful in mechanical devices. very essen- tial in this industrial age. Mill ll lltl Ill! 58 Printing is un- doubtedly the most useful of modern in- ventions. Without it, civilization and progress as enjoyed today, would be cen- turies in the making. It makes possible the educational oppor- tunities and institu- tions prevailing at the present time. Central's print shop certainly gives the student a wonderful opportunity to learn the arts as well as the possibility of se- curing employment. Our machine shop is another important branch of the voca- tional department. It offers the student training which is valuable in many trades pertaining to the machinist. One often thinks of the machinist as a grease gob , but in reality he is one of the most skillful. Without his services we could not enjoy many of the luxuries characteristic of this modern age. The most impor- tant branch of ac- tivity comprising the vocational depart- ment is the study of electricity. Students interested in elec- tricity are given an adequate course which prepares them thoroughly for the competition which follows after graduation. H e r e the seeds are sown which yield the com- ing electricians and electrical engineers. The manual train- ing department sup- plies the student with the elementary and practical meth- ods of the manufac- ture of furniture. This branch of the vocational depart- ment is one of the most popular among the students. Proj- ects of all descrip- tions are turned out by the students which are inspected and their making su- pervised by the in- structor. Mechanical draw- ing is required co- ordinately by all stu- dents taking manual training. Here our future mechanical engineers and even our architects are taught the art of drawing. The im- portance of this lies in the fact that the students are taught how a huge project is drawn to scale, which is extremely essential in the en- gineering world.

How it clatters on the pane, All in great commotion, Then grows suddenly calm again- Rain, refreshing rain! The large sheltering trees Bend their towering tops To the beating drops Of the incessant rain. The dry grass and grain, Stretching over the plain Change to well watered soil From the beautiful rain. Down, down they come Those cool, refreshing dropsg First it pours, Then thins, decreases, stops. And now it glimmers in the sun, An earth of gold, Showered by sparkling jewels Of rain, beautiful rain. -Mildred Linnemeyer. SPRING Spring is here! Spring is here! It Hlls our humble hearts with cheer. Birds all sing in ecstacies And the songs are wafted on the breeze. All our souls are filled with cheer, Because we know that spring is here. Spring, spring, the beautiful spring! All the world just has to Sing. Flowers from their sleeping places Seem to run untiring races. Every blossom wants to shout, 'tMy friends and I are coming out!', Spring is here! How well we know Because there's left no ice and snow, No more glistening snow to shovelg Now the sun saves us that trouble. Old Man Winter runs with fear Because we know that spring is here. -Walter Ehrman. IT'S SPRING Cheerful breezes frisk about the hills As laughing children speed away to play. The snowbound ,world has thrown away its ills, And started in to live again today. Heaven is one great dome of azure blue, While fieecy clouds are sailing in the skyg Great flocks of screaming, chattering birds who Hew Into the south are back again on high. Sparkling brooks are rushing on in glee, Great rivers sing and swish as they so byz From Winter's ice-bound blasts at last set free, The world wakes up again and breathes a sigh. The joy we feel we hardly can express, As songbirds swell their throats and start to sing. There's just two words that cover all the rest, And these two words we love to say- t'It's Spring. -Doris Hileman. When Spring appears this earth to greet, She brings the flowers soft and sweet. In every nook the bright rays shine Which make each flower seem more divine. -Joe McCulloch. In Spring is here I know For the balmy breezes blow, And the robins are singing And chirping their song of cheer. Spring is here! Spring is here! For everywhere flowers Are peeping above the ground And everything is ready to blossom. Spring is here! Spring is here! For the sky of gray has turned to blue And the black clouds to fleecy white. The glad tidings are indicated every- where. Spring is here! Spring is here! -Nelda Perkins. WJ! ll IM Ill' killis combined with beauty to produce Works of charm and color in the Art Department WAI ll lltl ill! Miss Vorhees' 9A Students ART DEPARTMENT IS COLORFUL PLACE Everything from manuscript illuminations to highly colored fish designs may be seen in the art department, one of Central's busiest places. The two art instructors, Miss Anna Newman and Miss Mary Louise Vorhees, have had some wonderful results in their art classes during the year 1928-29. Miss Newman, well known in Central for her teaching ability and in the city for her lovely exhibitions of water colors, has 33 pupils this year. Miss Vorhees, a new art instructor this year, has 51 pupils. Miss Newman's 10B classes at the beginning of the term made figures of animals from soap. Then they did some free-hand drawing and painting. In her 10A classes, the students worked on designs and posters. They painted some beautiful posters for the Dog Show, held at the Shrine auditorium March 25 and 26, for the Minstrel Show at Central, April 5, and for the sectional tournaments. Near the end of the term they went back to free-hand drawing. The 11B's under Miss Newman also worked on lettering and posters. They com- pleted linoleum block prints of doorways, spires, domes and monuments. These were printed as calendars and sold in the halls by the Brush and Pencil Club. 62 'Y WAI ll .llnlllll Miss Newman's 11B Class CENTRAL'S ARTISTS CREATE BEAUTY Interesting studies in house planning and landscape decorating were made by the 11A's. The 12B class turned its attention to leather tooling., staining, jewelry, and crafts, and created some beautiful objects. The 12A's spent most of the semester on the dyeing of silks in intricate and fascinating designs. Miss Vorhees' 9B classes began with all-over designs. Manuscript illuminations and beautiful colorful fish designs called forth the skill and ingenuity of her 9A class. At the same time the 10B's were painting interior designs from their own homes. Later they worked on different species of flowers. One big project done by the art students both in school and at home was the art work for this yearbook, the 1929 Caldron. A modernistic treatment of the theme Talents , was worked out by Jean Hayden, art editor. The effects obtained are original and pleasing. In addition to the sketches she made, drawings were made by the following: Dorothy McCague, Grace Leslie, Carl West, and Ruth Gross. This term the art department as a whole has produced many colorful and notice- able pieces which deserve the attention and commendation of all within or without Central's halls. 63 bt 1 , ,2 - Q8 1 is g' r , ieee a , ' V H ' r p i ,' - . sf fs ., . . , .1 ,L ,ray ......

The, first plays given this year were Thursday Evening and The Dear Departed, given November 15. A good piece of acting was involved in Thursday Evening , a one-act comedy by Christopher Morley. The cast displayed fine talent, and the play was well received. Marianne Cowan, as the young wife, Jack Rittenhouse, in the role of an economical husband, and Jean Basil and Mary Weaver as the devoted mother-in-law comprised the personnel of Thursday Evening. A like success was 'The Dear Departed, by Stanley Hughton. Joe Williams car- ried the lead, as the dear departed, supported by a stellar cast, including Helen Dessauer and Hoy McConnell, a pair of conscientious relatives, of the beloved uncle and their rival kinsmen, Virginia Blosser, Julian Falk, and their talkative daughter, Betty Van Arnam. Beau of Bath and Bishop's Candlesticks, taken from Victor Hugo's famous novel, Les Miserables, ably upheld the standard of beauty, clever acting, and interest established by former Christmas plays. The cast of the former was composed of Hoy McConnell, Beau of Bath, Virginia Holden, the Lady of the Portrait, and Walter Ehrman, Beau's butler. The characters of the latter were Joe Williams, who did a splendid piece of acting in the role of convict, Clarence Haffner, who interpreted the part of the bishop 9- Edith Brittenham, sister of the Bishop, Vera Lambrook, Madam's helperg and Bill Bittler, an army officer. These two plays made a splendid combination and contained themes very indi- cative of the Christmas spirit. . THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS Cr1JsiZi.v Engfzgemfnfn The Senior class was especially fortunate in securing for production St. John Hankin's delightful English play, Cassilis Engagement, which was directed by Miss Marjorie Suter, dramatic director. It was presented in the Central auditorium, March 22 and 23. The play derives its name from the name of the two leading characters, Mrs. Cassilis, portrayed by Jean Basil, Geoffrey Cassilis, in the person of Edward Bender. and Geoffrey's engagement with a girl with no money, social position and with the horrid name of Borridge. The Borridge roles were taken by Kathryn Markley, who did a clever piece of acting as Mrs. Borridge, and Jean Hayden, to whom Geoffrey had got himself engaged. Marjorie Hawkins, as Lady Mabel Venning, supplied the competition for Eth.-l Borridge, while Lady Marchmont, Velma Mae Burton, helped Mrs. Cassilis in hor schemes to kill the infatuation of Geoffrey for Ethel. Ruth Ellen Porter was seen in the character role of Mrs. Herries, wife of the Rector, played by Clarence Haffner. Another of the 'ftea table group was Luella Allison who acted the part of the Countess of Remenham. Lois Rosseau looked well in the role of the maid, considerate and courteous. Another character role was taken by Morgan Lewis, as Major Warrington, who loved his wine and who had especially clever lines. Cassilis Engagement, with Rodger Salzer as business manager, was a huge suc- cess. New scenery was painted and lovely antique furnishings were obtained from Mrs. Goodrich's Antique Shop. The clothes worn were beautiful and greatly enhanced the characters. 70 kill is a prime requisite for the one who hopes to sway his audience in public speaking 71' Qi eb, U? li fl fig' 'ii- ss' fL M5,+'p:'?i 'F f, - sf - Quai.-. 1 1 ' t' ., M 5 5 - Q' i Qs ff 4gi4.,??,s, as, I, 1 I ,r IIJI lllI 'l' ll'lIJWi lIllJ'l l 'K A4444 AMQVAAAAA Three juniors, Kenneth Murphy, Marguerite Rohrbaugh, and Theodore Buesching, and Sam Edlavitch, a sophomore, comprised the afiirmative debating team. All were new debaters. By winning both of its debates, defeating Huntington here at Central and Columbia City at Columbia City, the team fulfilled their part of the contract to win the N. E. I. Debaters' League pennant. Central is a member of the Northeastern Indiana Debating League as well as the National Forensic League. Prof. Cordier of North Manchester College was the critic judge at Columbia City. Hon. Sam Jackson, Mr. F. R. Nei, and Mrs. Walter Kent were the judges here. It is significant that the team won with both critic and lay judges. Marguerite Rohrbaugh was captain of the team. Ted Buesching, as alternate, did excellent work. He was always on hand with sparkling and brand new ideas. All the members of the team were also members of the public speaking classes. At the close of the debating season, on February 12, the debaters were give banquet by several members of the faculty. fl Q 1311!

The charter of the league was read and pins were presented to the charter members at the annual Public S eakin ban uet 8' Q held at the Woman's Club. P Central's negative team was composed of Morgan Lewis and Charles Bond, vet- erans, and Robert Spice and Lawrence Levy, new debaters. Morgan Lewis was captain and Robert Spice was alternate. The team met South Side there, and Huntington here. The debate with South Side was the first of the season. It was Lawrence's first a e . H' ' pp arance is work was well done. Judges for this debate were Mr. W. Helmke, Mr. F. Nelson, and Mr. J. Newkirk. Their decision was unanimous for Central. The Huntington debate was the last debate of the season. The boys felt the gravity of the situation because the winning of the pennant depended on the decision. This was the most hotly contested of Central's debates, but all three speakers were alert at all times. The strategy of our team finally fioored the Huntington debaters and the decision was unanimous for Central. The judges were Rev. Louis Rocca, Mr. Glenn Smiley, and Rep. Everett Bloom.

PUBLIC SPEAKING The Public Speaking course was completely revised to follow the plans and sug- gestions of the coach, gained by conferences with high school public speaking teachers from all parts of the United States at Northwestern University School of Speech dur- ing the summer of 1928. The result was bigger and better public speakers in 1928 and 1929. Several members of the classes were called out in town during the year for talks and entertainments. Some of the outstanding occasions were a Lincoln Program before the Constitutional Educational Society, given by Marguerite Rohrbaugh, Adrian Sum- mers, Lavern DeHaven, Briant Secrest, and Larry Levyg participation in a program for a Kiwanis luncheon by Charles Bondg two speeches given by Marguerite Rohrbaugh before the Allen County Federation of Clubsg and a debate given by the Civic Interest group before the Citizenship Department of the Fort Wayne Woman's Club. This was a red letter day for the group. They were given the rare opportunity of appearing before influential women voters of Fort Wayne to discuss the timely question of the repeal of the direct primary system. Those appearing on this program were Charles Bond, chairmang Lawrence Levy, Marguerite Rohrbaugh, Sam Edlavitch, and Emma Morton. During the year a speakers' bureau was formed in the department from which the public speaking students were booked for the Monday morning activities period programs. The last outstanding event of the year was the annual Public Speaking Banquet held at the Fort Wayne Woman's Club. 74 M. Rohrbaugh M. Lewis ORATORICAL AND EXTEMPORANEOUS CONTEST The County Constitutional Oratorical contest was held in our auditorium March 15. Morgan Lewis was our representative. This was the second time that Morgan has represented Central in this contest. He delivered a splendid oration, showing a great deal of thought and originality. The object of his oration was to carry out the principal of oratory, which is the formal expression of thought. This he accomplished. Marguerite Rohrbaugh was the winner of the extemporaneous contest for the first semester. She won her place by a series of three eliminations. Those participating in the final contest were Lawrence Levy, Sam Edlavitch, Kenneth Murphy, and the winner, Marguerite Rohrbaugh. The questions discussed were issues in the presidential campaign of 1928. 1--' The final contest was held before the seniors, juniors, and sophomores in the audi- torium. For the first time in the history of Central, students were permitted to act as a part of the judges. Three judges were chosen from the faculty. Mr. Butler, Mr. Veatch, and Miss McCloud. The students acted as the fourth judge using the same score sheets as the judges. The result was satisfactory-their sheets showing exactly the same scores as the judges. Marguerite's name will be engraved on the Benner and Koerber cups. 75 WAI ll IM ill! Left to right-Hillis Harris, Morgan Lewis, Miss McCl , McCloud Trophy. THE MCCLOUD CUP Following the plan of last year, all clubs in Central nominated and the Student Council elected the winners of the McCloud cup, awarded last year by Miss Erdean McCloud to the boy and girl from the two upper classes displaying the best school citizenship, based on the two citizenship codes in the office. The two to receive the honor this year were Morgan Lewis and Hillis Harris, both members of this year's graduating class. They were elected from the four receiving the highest votes from the clubs. The other two voted on were Marjorie Hawkins and Charles Bond. Other nominees were: Mary Chambers, Rodger Salzer, Welcome Warner, Vera Wyrick, Robert Dornte, Florence Koegel, and William Bittler. Miss McCloud awarded the cup last year as an incentive to school citizenship, thinking that there should be some recognition of those students who may not be out- standing in any of the arts or athletics, but yet who support Central High School by maintaining standards of citizenship according to the two codes now hung in the office. These involve Courtesy, Earnestness in Preparation, Neatness, Truthfulness, Regularity in Attendance, Attitude toward Regulations, Loyalty, Health, Sociability, Co-operation, Punctuality, Self Control, Sportsmanship, Activities, and Regard for Property. The two students receiving the award this year have been active in both school work and extra curricular activities throughout their high school life. The high schol- astic standing of Hillis has made her salutatorian of her graduating class, she is editor of the 1929 Caldron, and a member of Sorosis, Friendship, and Math clubs. Morgan has for some time held a conspicuous position at pep sessions and is this year varsity cheer leader, president of Chapter 64 of the National Forensic League, and is a member of the Student Players' Club. He displayed unusual dramatic ability as Major Warrington in the senior play, The Cassilis Engagement. The cup now has engraved on it the names of Mary Thayer and David Bash, who were elected last year. 76 , atural ability supported by the talent, Skill, produces pleasing melody in the music de- partment '-1 771 Top 'row Ueft to rightj-Mr. Sur, director, J.

BAND One of the most important groups at football and basketball games is the band, which is under the direction of Central's music man. The band was first organized in 1923 by Mr. Roland Schafer and since that time has developed remarkably. Central is proud of its music makers. Not many of its members will graduate, so we can look forward to a bigger and better year in 1930. This year the band has payed at all home games, went to BluH'ton with the basket- ball team, and played at the sectional tournament. Their tournament playing was broadcast by W.0.W.0. We can hardly realize how much pep they arouse at the pep sessions. They also took part in some of the city parades. Norman Sams served as assistant director during the year, and helped Mr. Sur produce a worth-while band. Three practices were held each week, and during the spring and summer months, marching was on the bill. A special assembly was held to interest students in trying out for the musical organizations of the school and resulted in a number of recruits. 78 ORCHESTRA Twenty-eight members compose the orchestra, which under the direction of William Sur, has had a most successful year. Several new instruments have been furnished by the school, providing a variation in instruments and enabling Central to have a finer orchestra. This musical organization is to have a part in the commencement ritual. They have supplied music for a number of activity programs, and put on an impressive cere- mony in memory of Franz Schubert, and another during Music Week. They added to the 'enjoyment of the music department's minstrel. At the sessions of the Northeastern Indiana Teachers Association, Central was represented in the Northeastern Orchestra by Edith Brittenham and Maurice Lehmeyer. Mr. Sur, orchestra director, was in charge of music at Central in 1924-25. He returned again this year as the capable and well-liked music master of Central. 79 First rows-E. Vllidenhofer, Holmes, J.

THE EN SEMBLE The Ensemble, a new group in Central has been organized to take the 1 f , p ace o the girls double trio and quartet. The members chosen are the most talented in the Glee Club. The ensemble consists of Vada Cheverton, soprano, Margaret Holmes, sopranog Elsie Rodenbeck, soprano, Luella Allison, soprano, Meta Schulz, altog Elfrieda Widenhofer, alt ' M ' ' B ' - ' o, arJor1e rxghton, alto, Jean Forsythe, accompanist. The girls sang at the Lion's Club, and at the Pennsylvania Christmas party. 'JZ-2, GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club, which has always been an outstanding musical organization of the school, has been very successful under Mr. William Sur. The organization, which numbers 155, is divided into five groups. Rehearsals are held twice a Week on school time. The accompanists for classes this year were Dorothy Lenz, Jean Forsythe, and Theresa Cafaro. During Music Week the Glee Club and orchestra presented a concert and sang at sessions of the Northeastern Indiana Teachers' Association. They plan to have part in the commencement pageant. The club planned to sing carols in the down- town district before Christmas, but were unable to do so on account of the Hu epidemic and the closing of schools. 81 THE MINSTREL Top-Seated-R.

Although at times it was difficult to get news, the staff kept at their task, and as a result this year's paper compares well with the high standard set by our predecessors. Besides the editor mentioned above the first semester's staff included: Glenn Yagerlehner, news editor, June James, assistant news editor, Mildred Bey- erlein and Norman Sams, make,-up editors, Mary E. Crosbie, Ada Card, and Mary Chambers, copy editors: Bob Flory, Charles Bond, Mary Hosey, Alice Harr, and Hillis Harris, feature writers, Joe Williams, Bob Spice, Roberta Aldred, and Dorothy Mc- Cague sports writers, Sara Masursky, society editor: Leota Wright, exchange editor Larry Levy, advertising manager, Sam Edlavitch and Marguerite Rohrbaugh, adver- tising assistants, Vernon Prange, circulation manager, Betty VanArnam, Helen Dessauer, Jack Babb, Clarence Haffner, circulation assistants: Norman Bosell, auditor. The reporters were: Barbara Beers, Virginia Blosser, Virginia Bohn, Anna Jane Clark, Anna Doran, Walter Ehrmann, Eddie Erb, Richard Erb, Robert Geake, Svlvia Gladstone, Clara Mae Guy, Mary Ellen Heit, Jean Ludwig, George McComb, Margery McKeeman, Georgine Miller, Rachel Ochstein, Dorothy Schmitt, Don Tagmeyer, Dick Vogelsang, Don Wilson, Jane Wilson, Vera Louise Wyrick, Carl Zick. Delegates of the Spotlight and Caldron staffs attended the Indiana High School Press Association at Franklin in October and brought back a beautiful silver loving cup, presented to the members of The Spotlight staff for winning first place in their division in the annual newspaper contest. In March they received a gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, a symbol that their paper had placed first in the United States along with thirteen other schools. Ill ll llrl Ill l THE CALDRON T ALMOST the same instant that the 2:55 bell rings, the Spocal otlice becomes a seething mass of newspaper people, and the previously quiet hole in the wall is transformed into a veritable bedlam of confusion. But at length this dies down as each engrosses himself in his task, and order comes forth from chaos. It is in this period of comparative quiet after the storm that the two school publications, the Spotlight and the Caldron, are made ready for their issuance. HE CALDRON has been put out now for two years without an inch of advertising. This in itself speaks much for the merits of the book. The annual was put out this year under the direction of Hillis Harris, editor, and William Bittler, associate editor. Much credit is due Miss Austin, whose aid was indispensable in putting out the annual publication. The Caldron takes its place among the unique with this issue, as all the art work is done in modernistic style, a thing that has not been adopted by many schools as yet. It is pleasing to the eye and is a variation from the usual type of yearbook. Besides the staff members mentioned above the roll was made up of the following students: Business manager, Glenn Yagerlehnerg circulation manager, Fred Lehmang senior editors, Mary Chambers, Phil Mann, art editor, Jean Hayden, junior editor, Cecil Soo and Julian Falk, sophomore editors, Clara Mae Guy, Helene Smithg sports editors, Elmer Paul, Vera Wyrickg assistant sports editors, Robert Spice, Joe Williams, Roberta Aldredg club editors, Reece Gardner, Helen Yergensg snapshot editor, Jane Wilson, feature editor, Pete Certiag typists, Mildred Beyerlein and Leota Wright. An all-student book was the aim this year, and the goal was very nearly reached. Except for the engraving and machine composition, all the work was done by students. The art designs and color schemes were worked out in the art department. The boys in Mr. White's printing classes set a part of the type by hand and did all the printing and assembling of the book. The theme was originated by the editor and its application made by the staff members. Mounting of pictures for engraving and writeups in the book were carried out by various staff members. 89 MAI ll llnlllll G. McComb, Miss Lucasse, N. Lewerenz a FRAGMEN TA LATINA In 1919 the Latin Department decided to publish Fragmenta Latina, a paper of the 'Latin students, by the Latin students, for the Latin students. The main object was to encourage the study of that language. This paper is both educational and recreationalg it contains articles on the life and history of ancient Rome and also humorous stories, jokes, and poems. Since this paper is intended not only for the upper classmen, but also for the beginners, many of the articles are written in English, so that they too may reap some benefits from it. At the beginning of each year two students are selected from the junior class to edit this publication. Each Latin class is entitled to one reporter who takes charge of the material written by that class. While. the editors serve the entire year, the report- ersfchange from semester to semster. This year the editors were George McComb and Norma Lewerenz. The faculty adviser was Miss Florence Lucasse. The first number of the current year had as its main theme the Saturnalia, that old Roman festival which most closely corresponds to our Christmas. Since this year celebrated the tenth anniversary of this paper, a detailed history was also given. The second edition came out during the month of May. It contained many articles of interest to the Latin students. x L ,. , .1-,1 EL M, . . V f ?

Gym classes have been held three periods a week instead of two and Miss Soderlund, the girls' athletic director, introduced several new activities such as tumbling and clogging in addition to the usual volleyball, basketball, and Hoor work. The most popular of the sports was volleyball although tumbling ran a close second. In order to give every girl an opportunity to indulge in her favorite sport, one class a week was devoted to each of the three, volleyball, tumbling and clogging. After the basketball season all of these classes were suspended to afford a careful preparation for the exhibition. After that the classes were resumed in baseball, volley- ball and tennis. CLOGGING Clogging has increased in popularity with each season. This has been the second year for clogging in girls' athletics and it has forced itself from the gym class to extra after-school periods. There were two advanced and two beginners' classes, each held twice a week after school. There were between sixty and eighty enrolled and all of these were represented in the exhibition. I 92 TUMBLING Although tumbling was new in Central this year there were many girls who chose it as their favorite hobby. The gym classes as a whole rejected it as too new and unknown, but those who did like it gladly formed a class and worked diligently. In order to accommodate this group of girls a class was formed for those who answered the invitation to enroll. These girls made up the group which gave the tumbling exhibition in the Senior-Caldron Vodvil. They also had a part in the exhibi- tion which took place April 19. THE EXHIBITION April 19 marked the second annual Girls' Athletic Exhibition. The program consisted of a grand march of over 200 girls, a game of twelve-court basketball, a clogging number with eighty girls represented, a Zuave drill, some dances by the beginning cloggers and two numbers by the advanced clogging class. All of these numbers were chosen and worked up by the girls themselves under the supervision of Miss Ingrid Soderlund, the coach, and did credit to her training as well as to Central High School. 93 -. f l 1 Q s ff Murray Mendenhall, Ingrid Soderlund They Train the Tigers and Tigerettes Coach Murray Mendenhall holds the title of one of Indiana's best high school coaches. His record in Central High School has verified the name. He piloted the Tiger teams through one of their most successful seasons in 1928 and 1929. Starting with what appeared to be raw material and with no great amount of reserve force to fall back on, he built up splendid teams on the diamond, cinder path, gridiron and the hardwood court. A His knowledge of sports has not been confined to producing winning teams. As director of athletics for boys he has shown himself equally able in teaching the youth of Central the co-ordination of mind and muscle, and the value of physical fitness. Mendy is extremely popular with all the boys in the school for his quiet but efiicient ways. This completes his fifth year at Central High School. Last year all the girls were talking about the new girls' gym teacher. She is no longer classified as new but she is still the subject of many a conversation, for Ingrid Soderlund has come to play an important part in the lives of several hundred Cen- tralites. Her job has been the teaching of proper exercise as a means to better health. But this exercise has come to be great sport. Miss Soderlund's gym classes offer a variety of things-drilling, dancing, clogging, tumbling, running, playing, and even correct breathing. For the girls not able to per- form all the regular gymnasium exercises, she carefully works out corrective courses that prove very beneficial. 94 trength is king, attended by cour tiers Coordination and Team Work on the gridiron ' 95 I K 28: 3 Ei Q.

CENTRAL'S SUCCESSFUL SEASON CENTRAL 44-GARRETT 0 The Central Tigers opened their football season with an impressive victory over Garrett at Garrett. The team showed up well, playing both a great defensive and a odensive game. CENTRAL 31-WARSAW 0 In the first home game of the season, the Blue and White again came out of the fracas with a win, holding their opponent scoreless. The fans were well-satisfied with the team's first showing and a successful grid season was anticipated. CENTRAL 46-BLUFFTON 0 Central's third consecutive victory was won at the expense of Bluffton by the one- sided score of 46-0. The line showed up remarkably well, both on the offense and the defense. CENTRAL 18-AUBURN 0 In their second out-of-town game this season, the Blue and White finally won, after being held scoreless in the first half. The Tigers opened a snappy aerial attack in the last quarter which baffled the Auburn crew. CENTRAL 6-ELKHART 40 The Central Tigers met defeat for the first time when they traveled to Elkhart and met the high school of that city. Despite the appearance of the score, the game was hotly-contested to the final minute of play. CENTRAL 38-NORTH SIDE 0 In the first inter-city football game the Central Tigers easily defeated the North Side Redskins. The Blue and White used an aerial attack that netted long and con- sistent gains. 100 VICTORIES ON THE GRIDIRON CENTRAL 46-PORTLAND 6 The Blue and White's next victim was Portland. Although the Portland team was game and fought stubbornly, the Tiger machines' marches down the field could not be stopped. CENTRAL 44--COLUMBIA CITY 14 Annexing the next game by a one-sided score, Central continued to play unbeat- able ball, defeating Columbia City at that city. All of the Tiger's touchdowns were made on long and thrilling runs. CENTRAL 0-CONCORDIA 0 Under low-hanging clouds and on a slippery field the Central Tigers and the Con- cordia Cadets fought to a scoreless tie in the Blue and White's second city series game. The Concordia passing attack baiiied the Tigers during the first half but the tables were turned in the last half. CENTRAL 25-SOUTH SIDE 0 By defeating South Side in a sensational and thrilling game, the Central Tigers capped the city and the conference championships. There is no doubt that the line cannot be given enough credit for the great showing and wonderful ability to open up the South Side line to let the Tiger backs through for long gains. CENTRAL 6-BOWLING GREEN, OHIO 19 Being tired out from the Central-South Side game, the Tigers did not show the usual pep, but in spite of this they played a great game. The Bowling Green team annexed a well-earned victory by the score of 19-6, but the game was better than the score shows. CENTRAL 16-ROOSEVELT OF DAYTON 12 'Phe Central Tigers closed their season by winning over Roosevelt of Dayton by the score of 16-12. The Dayton squad had a well balanced and smooth-working team, but it was a case of the best team winning. NEXT .YEAR'S GRID GAMES The grid schedule for next season is made up of nine games, six of which will be played in this city and the remaining three will be played at Warsaw, Bluffton, and Garrett. The Tigers will meet North Side, South Side and Concordia. The Central gridmen handed defeats to all of the above three except the Concordia eleven in their last year's games. The season will start almost on the opening of school and will continue on until a week or so before Thanksgiving. The schedule is as follows: September 14-Kendallville at North Side. September 21-Warsaw, there. September 28-Bluffton, there. October 5-Elkhart at South Side. October 12--North Side at North Side. October 16-Decatur at North Side. I October 26-Garrett, there. November 9-South Side at South Side. November 16-Concordia, here. 101 WAI li lid Dlll THE CHARM OF A HOLLOW QMarcella Buddj Have you ever been in a deep hollow? Where it is still a part of God, untouched and unblemished by the hand of man, where you walk knee-deep in leaves and grasses, where the old, old trees still stand half-deadg where the brook still flows laughingly on to join the river. If you have not, you have missed a great pleasure and delight. On an afternoon when I was tired of everything, I took my two dogs and together we went running over the fields, crawling through the fences and jumping brooks, laughing all the way. We were just three of the creatures of God, happy and carefree. At last we came to the hill and then the steep descent into the hollow. Down the side we stumbled, the dogs running in front of me and nipping at my legs, hilarious in their joy at being free. Then the hollow and we were shut out from the rest of the world entirely. Oh, it was glorious, this freedom, this banishment of cares. There was a haze over the trees, and just a ray of sunshine filtered through the tree tops now and then. Everything was wrapped in silence and a deep peace, only the brook could be heard to ripple over the rocks, an occasional chirp of a bird, and the low sigh of the leaves in the breeze. I sat down at the foot of an old and huge tree. One dog lay down beside me with his head in my lap while the other romped around, nosing out the scent of Somf animal. I sat there, my mind free, lost in the deep solitude surrounding me. Then I fel' asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but when I awakened I felt decidedly stiff and chilled. The sun was sinking and a smoky dusk was settling down. I knelt at the brook and took a deep drink of the crystal clear and cold water, as clear and as cold as that of some mountain stream. Real water! The only purifying process it had known was that of nature. It was so lovely, so still, so much a part of the forgotten nature, that I was reluc- tant to go. Many times since I have visited that hollow and each time its charm has impressed me more and thrilled me through and through. CHANGEFUL APRIL April is a mocking month, A crying, laughing, sighing month, The most surprising month of all the year. I see a sky of gorgeous blue, And expect a lovely day. Donft you? But probably the day will end in ram. The flowers blossom on the hills, The meadow lark, with myriad trills Sings his song of sunshine and of cheer. The sun shines bright from morn till noon- I plan a picnic very soon. But wbat's this pattering down my window-pane 'I It's rain! No picnic for today- We'll likely want to wait 'till May. But there's a rainbow shining o'er the mere! So April brings her sun and showers, Green leaves and lovely smiling flow- ers, And when she's gone we wish her back again. -Marion McKay. Q A POOR BEGINNING The black, sooty smoke belched forth from the chimneys, While a cold, bleak wind blew strong outside. Oh! What a day to usher in spring. But it was there just the same and I felt it. With a song in my heart, And a smile on my face, I was as happy as one could be. H-Irma Rey. EASTER Each little blossom wakened anew Nods its head to the sky of blue, Thrills to the touch of the warm spring breeze And bows to the lofty, tall green trees. The people rejoicing lift songs of love To the Father of every creature above, Who gives us blessings of untold wealth, Joy, prosperity, happiness, health. -Ernestine Furthman. 102 lille!!

RT FRANKE Our for the season of 1928 and 1929 was Albert Franke. Albert, although only a junior, has been on the squad since his freshman year. When it comes right down to brass tacks, Franke is one of the fastest men on the floor in dribblingg he has an eagle eye for the hoop, and is al- ways ready to tackle the biggest man you can give him. Abbie plays a stellar game in both offense and de- fense. Franke is usually found on the floor in the guard position, but if a man is needed in another place on the team, you can depend on Franke fill- ing it to the best of his ability. He will not be lost by graduation and promises to be one of the men around whom the next season's team will be fashioned. Albert is not only seen on the hardwood court but on the gridi- ron, in the end place, and in the out- field of the baseball nine. Albert Franke Pete Vincenski Jennings WAI ll llll Dlll ROBERT DORNTE In 1926 a young fellow entered Cen- tral High School by the name of Dornte. In his freshman year he was a member of the reserves. The next year we saw Dornte on the grid field making a name for himself. As the basketball season rolled around we found him there on the first team. He was a member of the state tourney squad in his sophomore year. On the cinder path Bob was also seen. Then in the 1927-28 athletic season we found Dornte on the gridiron, on the hardwood floor, another time on the Tiger state tourney squad, and pound- ing the cinder path. This year he was a quarterback on Dick Miller's all-state grid football eleven. His wonderful floor game and all-around good playing made him foremost in the eyes of the spectators during the basketball season. When track season held its sway, he was there with the leaders.

THE FIRST STRING MEN 1 AL J ENNINGS Another man who came to the fore this year to help Central make such a good showing in the basketball season was Al Jennings. Jennings should be given credit for his work in first team games as well as the support he gave the reserves when he was filling the position of forward on that team. He will be back in Central next year PETER VINCENSKI Pete is also a junior and will be back in Central next year. In his freshman and sophomore years he was a dependable player on the football field, in the hardwood sport, and on the baseball nine. He filled the position of guard on the eleven, playing well on both offense and defense. He was seen on the basketball floor as an able man in the guard position. His work in baseball was also very creditable. He will be valuable next year as a nucleus man in athletics. NATHANIEL BUGGS The sophomores have another man on the books of athletics who has scratched his name in with glowing colors. He is known as Nat and is seen on the football field, the basketball court, and last but not least the cinder path. On the football field he was seen in the shoes of the fullback and he filled them with the stuff that made the past record of Central's athletics so successful. On the hardwood iioor he was seen in the position of guard and forward. In this sport he was among the foremost. Buggs will be back among the players next year and be a nucleus man for Coach Mendenhall. We have to take off our hats to Buggs in his broad jump, on the field, and his basket- FITZHUGH LYONS Fitzhugh Lyons, although only a junior, has played on the net team for the past two years. He was an outstanding man at the pivot position on this year's team and received much praise for his playing. In his freshman year he was seen only on the baseball diamond, but last year found him at the end position on the football team, and again on the diamond nine. This year saw him showing up on the Upigskin maulers and the baseball team. Fitz will be back in Central for another year to help write the season of 1929 and 1930 in the history of Central sports as one of the red letter years. Lyons was also on the state tourney team last year. HOWARD CRONINGER Howard, Howey , Howdy or what have you, is only a soph and will prove to be a valuable man in all branches of athletics before he leaves the hall of Central. Howard was seen on the reserves last year and on both the reserves and the varsity this year. Resides making his name on the basketball court he was seen on the cinder path both this year and last. His football playing this season was cut short because of injuries hut he will be out next year with renewed energy and spirit. He will be remembered this year as the Tiger player who shot the last basket for the Central team in a frame this season. This honor goes to him for sinking a nice side shot in the semi-final tourney game. as he is only a freshman. ball playing. 107 WAI ll IM ill' Left to right-N. E. I.

TIGERS WIN EIGHTEEN GAMES ROBERT WEISS Bob is also a member of the sophomore class and has made a good showing on the hardwood court for the Tigers this year. He played both on the reserves and the first team and was known for his abiity to give his man the slip and get under the basket for open shots. Many of these Weiss shots were put in the hoop just at the right time and were appreciated by the Central fans. Robert played on the reserves last year and worked his way up to his present position by real playing. Bobbie is also an ardent cinder pounder and a steady on the grid field. We hope that he will continue to keep the name of Central high in the records of athletics in this state. VAN JENKINS . Another man who is lost from the teams of Central is Van. Every one knows Jenkins even though this was the first year that he was seen on the hardwood court. Van should be given all the credit possible for his playing this year. He was there whenever the Tigers needed a point to pull out in the front. His cutting and passing game was of admirable quality and his loss to the Central team will be felt next year. His position on the hardwood quintet was as a forward for almost the entire season. Van was on the Central diamond team in the 1928 season. JAMES NASH Nash, who is only a tenth grader, will be back in Central to help her in having as strong a team as she had this year. Nash helped this year not only with the first stringers but also in the reserves. All loyal Central fans should extend a hand of appreciation to this scrappy little player for his showing this year. This was his first year of action, but he made a name for himself. This has been one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by Coach Mendenhall and his scrapping Tigers. They cleaned up 18 out of 19 games. With the exception of the Horace Mann game the Tigers swamped Marion, North Side, Elkhart, Angola, Huntington, Auburn, Garrett, Kendallville, Columbia City, South Side, Peru, Manual Training of Indianapolis, Bluffton, Decatur, and Warsaw. The Tigers whipped into shape at the start of the season and piled up a 36 to 16 win over the Marion Giants. The second game was a defeat over the Redskins by a 31 to 8 score. The Elkhart squad went down in defeat by a score of 32 to 6 while the following game with Angola proved a slight bit harder win, the Tigers only piling up a 26 to 16 score. The Huntington crew also proved to be stronger, as they held the Tigers to a 38 to 31 count. The sixth game with Auburn was an easy game, the Tigers more than doubling the score on them when they pulled in a 48 to 23 score. Here another game was added to the original 18 scheduled games. This tilt was with the New Haven quintet. It proved to be another victory by a 21 to 16 count for the Blue and White five. The Tigers chalked up their seventh win over the Garrett five by a score of 52 to 21, then downed the Kendallville players by a score of 38 to 20. Following this was one of the most exciting tilts which the Tigers entered and was with the Columbia City squad. In the last minute of the game the Blue and White squad worked their way down the floor and put in a winning basket making a score of 27 to 26. Then the South Side team went down in defeat before the Tigers by a count of 44 to 36. This victory counted the second of the intra-city games for the Mendenhall cagers. 108 Left to right-N. E. I. C. baseball trophy, N. E. I. C. track trophy. CENTRAUS WINS REFLECTED IN SILVER TROPHIES The next week-end the Central crew journeyed to Peru and Indianapolis where they annexed two more vic'ories. the one over the Peruvians by a score of 35 to 28, vs1hil1e7 the second for the week-end was over the Manual of Indianapolis tive by a score 0' f io 21. The next two victories were chalked up over Bluifton and North Side. The scores were 31 to 25 and 20 to 16, respectively. The next tilt was an overtime vif 0ry over fhe Green Archers. This was the second defeat handed them at the hands of the scrapping Tigers. The score at the end of the forty minutes was 34-all. In the five-minute extra period the Tigers ran up the score to 47 to 41. This victory gave the Central cagers the city championship. The following tilt was decisive, for the N. E. I. C. championship was resting in a balance over the Decatur and Central squads. The score was 37 to 34 for the Tigers. This made the Blue team N. E. I. C. champions. The Warsaw game was the eighteenth defeat handed out by the Tigers. The count was 35 to 30 at the close of the tilt. The only defeat of the season was dished out to the Central crew at the hands of the Horsemen of Gary when they won by two points. The counts stood 23 to 25 at the close of the forty minutes, the winning basket being put in by Kos in the last two minutes of the game. With this season in back of the Central five they closed one of the most brilliant seasons of the hardwood sport. The Tigers were a member of the ten best cage squads of the state. Starting at tenth place they worked into eighth by the close of the season. The honor of being one of the ten best state teams has only been given to the Central team of this city. Besides all the fine teams Central has put out during the season 1928-29, Central has won all four trophies awarded by the Northeastern Indiana Athletic Conference. The track and baseball trophies were won last spring. The football award was given to the Tiger school when it finished the season with no defeats from N. E. I. C. schools. This trophy is in the shape of a football, and will be passed on to the school each year that has the highest standing at the end of the playing season. Likewise the Blue and White netmen were awarded the basketball trophy when they went through the season undefeated. This is a feat that will stand for many years, and other schools will have to work hard to try and equal it. Central also has many other trophies. Two trophies that she was the proud pos- sessor of this year were the nickel-plated horseshoe given by the sister school, South Side, and the four-leaf clover, symbol of good luck from North Side. They were pre- sented to the team when they went to the state. Central in turn passed these and a swastika, Indian symbol of good luck, on to South Side as a spur to win the state tourney. Central has been to the state three times-1926, 1927, 1928. South Side has been there twice-.1924 and 1929. 1n9 Left to right-R. Weiss, J. Nash, H. Croninger, P. Vincenski, A. Franke, H.

Mendenhall, SECTION AL TOURNEY OR a run of four years the Tigers had successfully held the coveted title of sec- tional champs until they bowed before the South Side Green Archers in the semi-finals. Although the Tigers had defeated the McClureians in two previous games they were completely toppled in the tourney game by a score of 42 to 23. The Blue and White basket tossers successfully defeated the Hoagland quintet in the fourth game of the sectional by a score of 59 to 13. This game was easily annexed, with the Central squad made up of only two first string men. The next game which the Tigers entered was with the North Side quintet. The Red and White squad played a good game and kept the Tigers on their toes the entire 40 minutes. This made the third time that the northern crew had fallen before the Blue and White attack. The final score was 27 to 22. This was one of the hardest games that the Tigers played the entire season and proved to be one of the feature tilts of the tourney. After this tilt, the Tigers were put into the semi-finals with the Archers. During the first half the Tiger squad fought doggedly to end the half with a score of 18 to 10 and the Archers held the upper-hand. The entire game was played with the uptown school fighting to the best of their ability for the day, but they were completely trodden on by the Green and White squad. Thus the Tigers relinquished their title to turn it over to their sister school, and support South Side in its regional and state tournament games. THE SQUAD OF TIGERS There are a group of fellows who sometimes are forgotten in the wild rush of excitement that really ought to be given a great deal of credit for the standing of the regulars. This group is the reserves who are on the bench and play in the preliminaries. What would the regulars be if they were left to practice only at tossing baskets and dribbling between imaginary opponents? It is the subs and reserves who make the team what it is on the fioor against the opponents. Then, what would the team of the later years be after all the regulars graduated if there were not men on the reserves to step into the places left by the men who go out into the game of life. It's the reserves that make the team what it is now and in the future. So here's our hand to the reserve men! We're for you! coach. 110 Rodger Salzer, Morgan Lewis, Charles Bond, Alfred Wehrenberg. 1 THEY LEAD THE YELLS During this propitious year of our school life Central has been blessed with four splendid cheer leaders. Their pep and personality have preserved and increased the well known fighting Central spirit. Throughout the season Morgan Lewis has been master cheer leader. This was Morgan's second year as varsity leader. He also has a year of reserve cheer leading accredited him. Morgan is a senior and has been popular in dramatic and public speak- ing circles also. Morg could make any crowd yell and the roof comes down when he leads the old Central Loco. The quartet of cheer leaders this year has been honored by the presence of Cen- tral's head man -none other than Rodger Salzer. Rod is president of the senior class, president of the S. P. C., and is popular in many other activities. Rod's favorite yell is Eyah and, boy, he sure can lead it. Another of the quartet is Charles Bond whom the school discovered to be a real cheer leader. Charley was president of his class in his junior year and has been prominent in dramatics, debating, and many other circles. Leave it to Charley on the old Come on Blue. Last but not least, we have Alfred Wehrenberg. Al knows his stuff in leading 'em and they yell plenty when he leads Hit 'em High. Al has been active in school affairs during the two years in which he has attended Central. All four are seniors and it is with a great deal of regret that Central loses her four varsity cheer leaders. f 111 ill! ll lltl ill! THE KING TROPHY Robert Dornte One of the things for which we all re- member t'Doe King is the King Trophy which he has given to Central for the player who has shown the best mental attitude and has been the most outstanding in the school. The cup has now engraved on it the names of Paul Jasper, David Bash, and Robert Dornte. Paul, probably known better as Mutt was the first Central. athlete to have his name engraved on the trophy. He was awarded it in the season of 1926-1927. Last year Dave Bash received the honors. He was one of the best athletes ever produced by Central. This year we have a man receiving this award who is found in all branches of sports, Robert Dornte. Bob was chosen as the captain of the past year's grid team and is outstanding on the diamond, gridiro , and hardwood court. it THE BLANKET MEN C5 Left to right-E. Brockhall, L. Hire The blankets which were awarded last i year at graduation, were made to two ath- letes instead of one, as formerly. This is the third time that two blankets have been awarded at this school. It is not a common occurence to have more than one outstand- ing athlete in the high school. Lloyd Hire and Edward Brockhall were selected as two most outstanding men last season. Lloyd Hire was one of the best players in all sports in the school and well deserved the honor of being one of the blanket men. Lloyd was a wearer of the Cn and was seen on the football field, on the basketball court, the baseball diamond and the cinder path. He did equally well in all the positions that he played. The other Tiger man who played dur- ing all of his years in the school and was also given the honor of being a blanket man, was Edward Brockhall. Eddie was also a wearer of the coveted C , and cap- tain of the basketball squad, Brockhall was sometimes known to the students as the home run king of the Tiger diamond nine. 112 , :mu t takes strength to put the shot, to vault the bar or hit the ball in Spring Sports I13i ' KH, F X l X ss 323225 V K 5 J t 9 gi5?'Q, V 1 ' JN ,Q s M X 1.

THE BASEBALL TEAM The Central baseball team, winners of the N. E. I. C. trophy, opened up their 1929 schedule by beating Angola, runners-up in the championship games last year, by a 9-2 score. Murray Mendenhall had another strong team this year, and the Tiger base- ball team worked hard to keep the trophy another year at Central. On April 23 Central met Ashe fast and clever Hicksville nine. Huntington was next on the Blue tossers' sche ule. Central lost a few of her baseball players, but the new material stepped right up and took their places. The Blue and White have Henning on the mound, with Bourne and H. Jennings on the receiving end. Fitz Lyons, first baseman, was out at the start of the season and Charles Bobilya took his place. The keystone sack was held down by Stauffer in fine shape. Van Jenkins played second base for the Blue squad and did some nice hitting. The veteran Hattendorf held down the hot sack, and con- tributed many hits. In the outfield, A. Jennings played right Held, while center iielrl was taken care of by R. Dornte. Schwartz, a three-year man, was seen at left field. Vincenski. Menze, Noble and Weiss saw action in some of the games. The Blue and White had eleven games on their schedule this year, and each game gave promise of being a real battle. The complete schedule follows: April 19-Angola, there. April 23-Hicksville, heref April 26-Huntington, here. April 30-Bluffton, there. 1 May -Huntington, here. May 3--Decatur, here. 1 5- Q 1' May 21-North Side, there.

The Blue and White thinly clads are out to keep the trophy they won last year, and also the Sectional title which they have held for the past four years. Central had only two meets scheduled before the city meet, and they broke even in the two meets. The Central track men were downed by the fast Elkhart team with a score of 64-35. In the next meet between Auburn, Garrett, Kendallville, and Central, the Blue thinly clads squeezed out a two-point victory. Babb and Buggs represented the Tigers in the dashes and broad jump and' scored many points. Van Jenkins also performed well in both the high and low hurdles. The 440 and half-mile were taken care of by Hay. The mile was run by Broxson, who con- tributed several points in this event. The city meet was held on April 27, and the following week the conference meet was run off at Garrett. The complete schedule follows: April 20-Auburn, Garrett, Kendallville and Central, here. April 27-City meet, here. May 4-Conference meet at Garrett. May 11-Sectional meet, here. May 18-State meet at Indianapolis. mu ju L 115 Top 'row-R. Brouse, L. Wafer, J. Snyder, C. Marhenke, R.

CENTRAL RACQUET W IELDERS If the same interest is shown in this year's tennis team as there was last year, the Blue and White racqueteers ought to excel those of former years. This is the third year that Central has had a tennis team and this spring sport is rapidly gaining prominence. Another tennis tournament was held this year and more than thirty boys turned out. Central's tennis team opened its schedule when it journeyed to Bluifton on May 1. On May 4 the Blue and White racquet wielders met the Huntington team at home. The next match of the Blue was with Garrett. Goshen played Central's tennis team on May 15. The first match between the Blue and Green teams was played on May 21. Two games were scheduled with each school, one match played there and one here. Mr. Chas. P. Turpin acted as faculty manager again this year, and had charge of the scheduling of the matches. A tennis tournament was held during the week of April 27, to determine the champions in both singles and doubles, and in this way the team was chosen. Some of the boys who were out for the team were: J. Williams, R. Brouse, L. Wafer, J. Snyder, C. Marhenke, R. Henschen. H. McC0nnel, W. Cun- ningham, and P. Fruechtenicht. The schedule: May 1-Bluifton, there. May 4-Huntington, here. May 8-Garrett, here. May 11--Huntington, there May 14-Bluifton, here. May 15-Goshen, here. May 21-South Side.

CENTRAL ON THE GOLF LINKS Central was represented on the golf links for the first time last season. A lot of interest was shown in this sport, and Central is again to be represented in this spring sport. The Blue and White golf team did not play many matches, but won all except two games. ' The first match was played at the Muncie Country Club with the Bearcats winning the match, but the Tigers evened this up when the Purple team came to Fort Wayne. The Vikings of Huntington were the next team to oppose the Tigers. The Central team then went to Angola and beat them on the new Lake James course. The final match of the year was played against the Green and White golfers. The Blue nosed out the Archersg this gave them the city championship. Mr. Richardson was the faculty advisor for this new sport. The members of the team were: Robert Coar, Dick Rousseau, Wayne Ponsot, and A. Farrell. 117 WAI ll lltl ill! AI' DR. E. A. KING C. D. DILTS THE TIGER FIN AN CIER Have you ever noticed the man at the football and basketball games talking to Coach Mendenhall? Well, that is C. D. Dilts. This man has charge of scheduling games and tournaments for the Tiger teams, of handling all the money from games and tournaments, and paying bills that come up in connection with athletics. He has made Central athletics a successful financial affair. This is the third year that Mr. Dilts has handled this phase of athletic work for Central, and everyone knows what a good job he has done. THE TIGER TRAINER One of the most loyal backers of the Tigers, and a man who follows them through victory, defeat, sorrow, joy, sickness, injuries, who is always on the sidelines to give the boys that certain pep that only he can give them, is Dr. E. A. King. No one knows what Doc means to those boys who get out on the field and work to keep the name of CENTRAL clean in the history of this city but those boys whom we see on the field for Central. There have been only a very few athletic events that Dr. King has missed in the past three years that he has been backing the team and filling the posi- tion of trainer for them. All the student body, faculty, and fans of the Central team join me in hearty con- gratulations to Dr. King for his wonderful care of the boys and his loyal backing in the past years. 118 WAI ll llsl Ill V v Girls Sports are no longer planned for the weak, fair sex of old but for the strong, alert Miss of '29 ----q 119 ul---' VOLLEYBALL Sophomore champion class team Qtop picturej-MM.

Every girl who belonged to a gym class was on a team and given a chance to play. Those who came out for volleyball were also put on a team. The first tournament was composed of the gym class girls, who were picked for their respective teams. In this way most of the girls who were interested in volleyball had a chance to play in at least one game. The second tournament had fewer teams playing. These teams were the class teams made up of freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior girls who came out for their respective class. Some of these girls also played on the gym class teams. The girls would also referee their own games. The sophomore class won this tournament. There were so many freshmen girls out that two teams were made to represent the freshmen class. There were also two all-star teams picked from this last tournament. These girls played games together. The one team was composed of freshmen and junior girls, which combated the team made up of sophomore and senior girls. These teams were called the Odds and Evens.

Splash! Right arm! Left arm! Right leg! Left leg! Glide! No it isn't in the ocean at Atlantic City nor yet in the Mediterranean. It is the girls' swimming class at the North Side pool. This class in beginning swimming was held during the first semester with Miss Soderlund, who is a Red Cross examiner, as teacher. About 30 girls were enrolled in the class, and great progress was made by all. Due to an unavoidable coniiict in the program, no class was held the second semester, a fact much regretted by Central paddlers. BASKETBALL Basketball is, with the girls as well as with the boys of Central, easily the most popular sport. This is proved by the large number of girls who turned out for it. Practice was started in the first part of January, and soon after Christmas vacation teams were picked for the first tournament. These teams were picked from those who practiced regularly, and seven teams chosen, as evenly matched as possible, so as to make competition close and interesting. A tournament was held between these teams, arranged so that each team met every other once. Team IV won this meet, with team VII a close runner-up. Following this a class tournament was held. This tourney brought out keen com- petition and close games. The junior team came out first, winning all their games: and the sophs, losing only one, were second. The junior numerals will be engraved on the Marcella Koerber cup. At the end of the season an all-star or school team was chosen by Miss Soderlund. These girls were picked for attendance, spirit, and quality of play. The team is as follows: Maxine Bradtmiller Mary Weaver Betty Van Arnam Leonora Wilcox Dollie Belle Ganther Cecelia Romary Dollie Mahlon Mary Masterson The season was ended with the basketball banquet, March 29, arranged by the C.

Having received the unanimous approval of the student council, the Honor Society held its first meeting with Miss Anna B. Lewis presiding. Helen Davies had the honor of being elected first president of the society. The other oiiicers were Glenn Yagerlehner, vice-president and Evelyn Horning, secretary-treasurer. Only a few meetings were held that semester and of the school term. Students having three A's and B for a semester grades are eligible for member- ship the following semester, but for a C disqualines them. When failing to meet the above requirements, the students are automatically dropped from the club, but may be reinstated. The president is elected from the senior class, vice-president from the junior class, and secretary-treasurer from the sophomore or freshmen class. Advisers are Miss Lewis, Miss Harrah and Mr. Butler. OFFICERS Ofice First Semester Second Semester President .... .... D ick Weaver Ruth Burhop Vice-president ..................

The club had for its purpose stimulating the best literary ability in its members, and creating real interest in writing. Mrs. Lane, as head of the English department, and her staff of teachers, picked a few students whom they thought had more than the usual interest in writing. The original members of the club were: -Mary Chambers, Marjorie Hawkins, Tom Snook, Hillis Harris, Emma Morton, Virginia Fairburn, Anna Doran, Robert Smeltzer, Alba Shaheen, and Beatrice Burden. A magazine was decided upon as the outlet of the material created in the club. In November the first issue of the Central Light was issued. It contained a number of interesting stories and a few poems. It was dedicated to Mr. A. Jaenicke, park board superintendent. The cover was a lovely park scene cut from linoleum block by Robert Smeltzer. The price of the issue was fixed at ten cents. Marjorie Hawkins' story received the award of best story in this issue. During the second semester the original members of the club existed as the editorial board to put out the future issues of the magazines, due to their inability to meet during anv one period. They issued the second Central Light in March including contribu- tions from all the English classes. The cover was a replica of a pictorial map made by the senior class last year. The magazine was printed in the school print shop under the direction of Miss Leah Austin, publications director. F OFFICERS President ........ .............. .... .

It fosters a spirit of friendliness and co-operation among them as well as inducing them to come out for all branches of athletics. The rules of the club compel a member to defend his year for the sport in which he earned it. If a member fall lettermen are members! falls down in his grades or breaks training rules he becomes ineligible and must forfeit his awards to the school.

The Central Girls' Athletic Association is the only athletic club for girls in the school. Membership in this club is secured by earning from 25 to 100 points in some sport. Twenty-five points entitle any girl to an associate membership and 100 points give her an active membership. This year has been the biggest year for the C. G. A. A. since its organization in 1926. It has had a larger membership and carried on more activities than ever before. Through the organization it has made possible for the girls interest in athletic exhibi- tions of various sorts. This club also sponsors the annual banquet for the girl athletes, which was a very novel and interesting one this year. The girls adopted an attractive new pin for club members this year. Letter winners this year were: Florence Rhine, Mary Masterson, Roberta Aldred, and Maxine Bradtmiller. OFFICERS President ...... ................ .... F l orence Koegel Vice-ywesident .... . . .

The Boosters is an all Central club. With this purpose in view, Miss Hazel Hawkins established it in 1925, and remained as its advisor until this year. As has been the custom, the Booster club had charge of all concessions at athletic contests, and turned the money made back into the school in some way. Badges, ribbons, caps, and other novelties have been sold by this club. It has also sponsored numerous features at the games, in the form of the school colors to wear or some kind of amusement. The Mixer, in honor of the football men, again set the year off with a bang, and was probably the outstanding dance of the first semester. A like success was the Tiger Hop, which is given annually for the basketball team at the close of the season. Unique in decorations and entertainment, with a peppy orchestra, it called out a large crowd of alumni and students, April 20, this year. The Booster club is steered by the advisory committee elected at the end of each year to select members from the applicants for the next year and to act with the advisor on urgent business. The committee this year included Reece Gardner, chairman, Hillis Harris, Fred Reynolds, Rodger Salzer, and Morgan Lewis. First row--A. Wehrenberg, R. Salzer, R. Bittler, H. Erb, H. Smith.

Other members of the club are H. Harris, R. Burhop, E. Paul, J. Williams, R. Hoffman, and E. Bender. BRUSH AND PENCIL CLUB RUSH and Pencil Club under the advice of Miss Newman was organized in 1925, having as its purpose the stimulating of a greater interest and a broader knowl- edge of Art. Its object is this appreciation, interest, and knowledge resulting in the increased enjoyment in the truth and beauty of living. The membership of the club was limited, at first, to only members of the Art department, but since has been opened to all pupils who are interested in arts and crafts. The meetings this year have been held once a month, either the first or' second Tuesday, in the Administration Building Club Rooms. Programs of the club have been made up of talks, illustrated lectures, project work, and several have been of a social nature, as the Christmas party and the annual final outdoor picnic in June. The project of the year has been the making and offering for sale calendars, quite artistic and wcll worth the price for which they were sold. The designs, block prints, are of the court house dome, the North door of Central, and the Art Smith Memorial. They were made by members of the club, or of the Art department. A pin, a small pallet with the word Art inscribed on it, was adopted by the club last semester. The advisors are Miss Newman and Miss Voorhees. OFFICERS President ............ .............. ......

It is the High School Girl Reserve club for freshman and sophomore girls, the name for which was suggested by one of last year's advisors. The purpose of this club is the same as that of other Girl Reserve clubs, as are its motto and slogan. The advisors are Miss Bassett and Miss Brown. The most outstanding projects of this year have been the selling of doughnut tickets, Central stationery, fruit cakes, and the hemming of towels for the Needlework Guild. The stationery was of a different kind this year and was sold for twenty-five cents. It bears a blue C and the name Central High School. The meetings have been varied and interesting, including those of music, dramatics, and sports. The club is fortunate in including in its personnel, the Cafaro sisters, Carmela and Theresa, talented musicians, and Marguerite Fraylick, elocutionist. The programs have also included talks by Miss McCloud, on the Origin of Thanksgiving Dayg Miss Weston of the Public Library, on What It Means to Be a Librarian, and a hike to South Side. This has been an exceptionally successful year for the younger Girl Reserve club, which has increased its membership to about fifty.

All those who are taking, or have taken, domestic science in high school are eligible. The first Monday in every month is reserved for the Home Economics Club. The business meetings are supplemented by educational talks and peppy parties. H. E. C. lives up to its standard by always having good things to eat. This organization has developed along other lines. It has cooked and served several banquets, including the banquet given for the members of the football squad. Every Christmas the club undertakes some project. One of the accepted duties of the club is the sewing of the C's on the sweaters for the members of the team. It also undertakes the making of costumes for school entertainments. Home Ec has pledged to supply the dishes for the new club room, which Mr. Ward donated this year.

The room soon fills and the gavel sounds. After the business is disposed of, Mr. President announces the principal speaker. It may be a member of the faculty or an outsider. These talks on Mathematics or Science are always interesting. The other speakers are club members who present new proofs, biographies of mathematics, or perplexing fallacies. Then come the puzzles, games and contests. After the welcome eats, the happy evening ends. Math Club, Math Club, Dear old Central Math Club.

The word Sorosis means an association of Women. The society is open to 10A girls who are making an average of B. This year, 1928-1929, Sorosis has read plays and discussed novels. The members have subscribed to a weekly paper containing current literary reviews. The club has been greatly hampered because some days for regular meetings came in vacations, but social meetings were substituted and Sorosis has enjoyed a pleasant year with Miss Welch as faculty advisor. The members take part annually in three public memorial programsg for Armistice Day, for the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln, and for Memorial Daw' The program on Armistice Day this year was presided over by Welcome Warner, and included all the members of the club. The Rev. Paul Kraus gave the address of the day, Mark Bills sang several numbers, and Lavern DeHaven gave some instruc- tions as to the respect due the flag. The program was very interesting and well attended. OFFICERS President ...... ................ V era Louise Wyrick Vice-president . . . . . . Welcome Warner Secretary ...... . . .

STUDENT PLAYERS TUDENT PLAYERS is a name that has come to stand for splendid dramatic per- formances in Central. This club, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Suter, is steadily growing in popularity among the students. The dramatics classes organized last year have all increased in size. 'Four plays-- The Dear Departed, Thursday Evening, Beau of Bath, and The Bishop's Candlesticks were presented this year. The cast of these plays were for the most part taken from the drama classes. All of these plays were heartily received by the student body. The club holds regular business meetings every two weeks and the attendance at these meetings have been very large. Twice a year the North Side and Central Student Players club hold a point social meeting. It is always a big' occasion and a time when inigiations are held. This year South Side formed a Student Players club. With three organizations there is no doulit but that the Student Players club can do still bigger things in dramatics in Fort Wayne high schools.

ART OF GUM CHEWING fBy Pull Sz Pop, Inc.J Most high school students advantageously kill time by the time-honored process of working their jaws on a wad of that perfumed rubber substance called gum. How- ever, special observance of representatives of our company has called to our attention the fact that few of the aforementioned personages are sufficiently trained to the art, and for this reason we are publishing on the installment plan a few worth while in- structions on how to develop your talent and thereby get your,penny's worth out of each stick. The first thing to do, of course, is to select the gum. By all means pick the kind that best fits your personality. A red-headed, freckle-faced, pug-nosed, firey-tempered, excitable, peppy young person should, of course, chew peppermint. We should recom- mend Wiggley's doublemint. A calm, sweet-faced little blonde with blue eyes, should naturally, turn her attention to a less pungent gum, such as California or Juicy Fruit. Those with different temperaments can strike a happy medium between these two. Class yourself. , I The important thing after the careful selection of the type of gum the patient should use is the place he should choose to masticate it. It is a well-known fact, impressively and indelibly stamped on our minds, that some narrow-minded teachers object to moving jaws except in imparting knowledge. However, if you are a clever student you can easily overcome this difiiculty by gazing angelically at the instructor while he for shej is looking your way, and use your greatest faculties in pretending to take in everything that is being said, then when the great informer is looking in another direction, with your eyes glued upon him, violently grind your jaws until you are either overcome by fatigue or the teacher again looks in your direction. How- ever, in this action, special care must be taken so that, if the instructor suddenly and unexpectedly returns his gaze toward you, you will be able to quickly put on your brakes and halt and again resume your divine expression. Our great word of advice, therefore, is DO NOT GO TOO FAST, BE ALWAYS PREPARED TO HALT WITHOUT A SECOND'S NOTICE. f 143 E
