The theme of the ritual is chosen to commemorate the birth of Hor- ace Mann, the most influential factor in the development of the common school in America. Many schools throughout the country in one form or another, are com- memorating the Horace Mann Centenary. The main characters in the ritual this year are the Priestess, the three Fates, and Hor- ace Mann. Distant Harvest, the title of the ritual, was written by Mrs. Lane and directed by Miss Suter. lt will be given on our Corn- mencement day at North Side and will be performed by the members of the senior class of Central High School. Perfectability of the human race was the goal that Horace Mann set before him. Al- though he did not have many followers in the beginning of this goal, he gradually in- stilled in the people a belief that it was worthy. Unselfishly and courageously he plodded ahead although many odds were against him, until he succeeded. Not only did he succeed in his goal but he left a remembrance of a truly great man and a truly great achievement. The high type man that Horace Mann was is revealed by the following statement he made once while talking to a friend. At times, Sir, it seems to me that words, counsel, exhortations seem like substance thrown into the abyss. I hear no report giving as- surance that somewhere there is a bottom upon which they strike. But continue to f104l throw in, l will. Perhaps at some future day l shall hear an echo from the depths. lf l do not, some follower of mine in the glorious cause will do ity and at length the chasm will be filled, and not only filled but above the surface, as its depths now sink below, and that structure shall be the glory of the world. Dr. Frederick Bohn Fisher, of Detroit, former bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will be the speaker at the com- mencement exercises at North Side High School Auditorium at 2:30 P. M., Iune l0. Honors will be bestowed upon the Val- edictorian, Ruth Seigel, whose four-year scholastic average is 94.80, and upon Eliza- beth Lanier, who is salutatorian with an average of 94.25.

This is the first time that a High School in Fort Wayne has used this process for printing any part of their Year Book. Thanks to dear old Central for being so alert and the time will come when these books will be produced by offset. OFFSET Me Wfocflezn Wfezfoo! There is so much interest in offset today-it is on the lips of practically every- one Who is even slightly interested in the Graphic Arts-that we are referring to it now as the modern method. ln one sense, this gives us great cause for happiness. Personally we believe the statement true that today, offset is the modern method of business. The equipment of the Fort Wayne Printing Company is complete . . . namely offset, and letter press . . . both being used on the Caldron this year. We suggest your consultation with us before art, paper and other details are definitely settled. You to indicate the effect desired and we to get it for you.

Abbett, Superin- tendent of the Fort Wayne Pub- lic Schools, was born in Prank- lin, lndiana. He Was graduated from the Franklin College With his AB. Degree and later Was graduated from Columbia Uni- versity with his Masters Degree. l-le has held many positions in X the lndiana schools, his latest before coming to Fort Wayne being the superintendency of the Bedford schools. Mr. Abbett's greatest pleasure lies in the help and the assist- ance he gives to the young peo- ple of the schools. l-le is deeply interested in the Cfuidance, Vo- cational, and Expansion pro- grams Which are being used more extensively in the schools. Enthusiastic about every school activity, he is especially interested in sports, and he has attended almost every Central game, given inspiring talks at pep sessions, presented trophies, and even accompanied the boys to the showers , to commend and counsel, for he himself has been both a player and a coach. Cur superintendent keeps his finger on the pulse of each of the 23 public schools in Port Wayne, and his boundless energy and enthusiasm are a Won- der to all who Work with him. Por relaxation, Mr. Abbett, spends his time in a northern fishing camp Where he meets many professional people and catches some big fish. l-lis most enjoyable outside interests are the Chamber of Commerce, the Quest Club and the Botary Club. He served as president of the Rotary Club for two terms. Under his leadership the Rotarians recently held their annual state convention in this city. The First Presbyterian Church claims him as Sunday School Superin- tendent. l-le is listed in Who's Who in Amer1'ca and Who's Who in Education. gi f l The sketches of Mr. Abbett and Mr. Croninger were made by one of Cen- tral's finest artists, Nick Collias. l-le is an outstanding member of the Art Club, is on the Poster Committee of the Booster Club, and is a member of the National l-lonor Society. We shall miss him when he leaves us this lune. fl4l Qur Master Builder -- Mr. Croninger By Morrisjones Twenty-four years ago Fred H. Croninger made his debut in the Fort Wayne public school system as a teacher of mathe- matics in Central High School, then known as the Fort Wayne High School, today he enjoys the distinction of being the old est principal in the point of ser- vice in the city. Born in Cfreen Springs, Chio Mr. Croninger spent his boy hood on a nearby farm, at tended country grade school Bepublic CQhiol High School, and was graduated from Heidel berg University CTiffin, Chiol in l905. After teaching at Deshler and Vermilion, Qhio, and Bluffton, lndiana, Mr. Croninger came to Fort Wayne in l9l3 as a math teacher. By 1918 he had risen to the position of head of the mathematics depart- ment, and in l92l, when the late L. C. Ward became Superintendent of the Fort Wayne Public Schools, Mr. Croninger was appointed to the principal- ship of the school. Under his tactful and efficient guidance Central High has grown rapidly, until now in l937 she boasts a teaching staff of sixty-three, an enrollment of over l8OO pupils, a fine library, two gymnasiums, a printing shop, and numerous other facilities for the express purpose of developing qualities of leadership and service in every student. lt is the sincere belief of Mr. Croninger that the aim of the modern school is to teach folks how to live intelligent, healthy, and talented lives . He is emphatically in favor of athletics and extra-curricular activities in the school, because they bring out qualities in the student untouched in the classroom . His hobbies are tennis, basketball, volleyball, chess, croguet, swimming, and traveling. He also reads a great deal, his favorite authors being Van Dyke, Tennyson, Sheldon, and Wallace, the author of Ben Hur . Abraham Lin- coln, Theodore Boosevelt, Booker T. Washington, and Dwight Lyman Moody, the religious leader, exemplify his ideal men. These are the highlights in the life of our principal, Mr. Croninger, who through the splendid services he has rendered Central has won the heartiest best wishes of all who have passed through the portals of Central High School. l15l r 1 1 V i 3 fi is W E w 3 -vw ' '79 . f - A as ' 'EL ' ' rf- ' r . 0 .4 ,,-- 5133. ,ILM , ,'fQ,.. ., M B an 5, tp 1,,, A 4 .

Miss Lewis: Miss Lewis, our dean of girls, came to Central in 1924 under Mr. Ward's sup- erintendency and for two years she taught some classes in English, besides her work as Dean. Since 1 then she concerned herself with administrative work. After receiving her A. B. at Indiana, Miss Lewis took extensive post-graduate work at Columbia Uni- versity, Chicago University, and other leading institutions. Before coming to Fort Wayne, Miss Lewis was Dean of Girls and assis- ant principal in Anderson High School. Because of her wide teaching experience in high schools and grade schools, she is able to deal effectively with the many problems that arise daily in her work. She is a sympathetic helper and is always willing to assist every pupil in working out a solution of his problem. Miss Lewis's contribution to the school is invaluable, and we shall all remember her long after we leave Central. Miss Chapin: lnteresting, yet tedious routine work is Miss Chapin's contribution to Cen- tral. Though she has never taught since coming here, she has become a very essential part of our school. Besides fill- ing out program cards, she sells street car passes, sends telephone messages, and returns lost articles. No one will leave Central without a pleasant picture tucked away in his memory of Miss Chapin, moving quietly about the office getting work done efficiently and on time.

Dignified as they seem in classrooms, these teachers also have their fun. ln Septem- ber they picnic at Foster Parkp in December our teachers bring their families together to enjoy a Christmas party in the school. This year they shared their beautiful Christmas tree with the student body before the party. They cook, play games, and visit at the annual May breakfast at Franke Park, their final social function of the year.

Miss Marian lngham and Mr. Tur- pin were chosen advisers. The most im- portant activity was the freshman party in November. As sophomores, the class elected the fol- lowing officers: president, Iames Koegelp vice-president, lane Bash: secretary-treas- urer, Paul Ream. The social council con- sisted of Karl Pappert, Mary McAnlis, Donna Neu, Edith Reusch and Elizabeth Lanier. With the aid of their able advisers, Miss Zent and Mr. Ashley, the George Washing- ton Tea Dance was an outstanding event. Another year passed, and they were juniors. Upon Irving Latz was bestowed the class presidency, with Karl Pappert, vice- president, and Iames Koegel, secretary-treas- urer, assisted by the social council, lack Paul, Elizabeth Lanier, lane Bash, Anne Boehme, and Edith Reusch. With the help of Miss Smeltzly and Mr. Cleaver, advisers, a tea dance, the Reindeer Romp, given on December 6, was a huge success. At the Iunior Prom honoring Seniors, Dorothy Staley was crowned Queen by Beatrice Call, 1935 Prom Queen, amidst tropical decorations, featuring an Hawaiian Paradise. ln their senior year lim Koegel was elected president for his third term. Karl Pappert was chosen vice-president, Anne Boehme, secetary-treasurer, and Mary McAnlis, Mar- gie I.

At the afternoon party in the boys' gym fluffy dresses, gay hair ribbons, half sox, over-alls and shorts will replace the regular school clothes as the 293 dignified seniors romp and shout. All-day suckers and cokes, jumping ropes and balls will take the place of customary books and pencils for one care-free day. As we go to press, the senior class is eagerly looking forward to the activities of Commencement week beginning Iune 6 with the Baccalaureate Services preached by Rev. S. A. Witmer, a l9l7 graduate of Cen- tral, now Dean of the Bible Training Schooly and the Parent-Teachers' Association Senior banquet on lune 7, the only time that par- ents, teachers, and students really get together in one social hour.

On Iune lil, the graduation will be followed by the Senior Dance, featuring a southern plantation scene, to be held in the school gymnasium.

'- QLX 1 I E- px Cur Third Floor- the Sophomores The long journey of the class of '39 to- ward its goal, graduation, began in Feb- ruary, 1935, when 154 students from the grade schools, all over Fort Wayne entered the portals of Central. ln September about twice that number of pupils entered this class. As no freshman class officers were chosen, the first class election was held in October, 1936, when Charles Rothschild was chosen president of the sophomore class: Kenneth Rice, vice-president: and Theodora Collias, secretary-treasurer. These officers, with the social council consisting of Robert Gross, Harrison Richardson, Mary Frances Lauer, Richard Koenig and lean lunk, chose Miss McKinnie and Mr. Aldred as class ad- visers. During the fall, the members of the class became acquainted with one another and on December llth they succeeded, with the help of the officers and student council mem- bers, in making the class Christmas party a success. The Christmas spirit was empha- sized by a tree and artificial snow scenes, which decorated the girls' gymnasium where kid games were played. On Ianuary 25, 1937, 450 sophomores en- tered junior life while 21 of the class were on the honor roll, namely William Ahrens, Phyllis Allender, Eldon Baker, William Bauermeister, Mary Lou Berkey, Robert Bul- temeyer, Robert Cunningham, Robert Duell, lohn Ember, Burdella Felts, Frances Graft, Mary Lauer, Luella Mattes, Lester Merica, Eldot Mertz, Kenneth Rice, Kathryn Simon, Lena Stephans, William Trumbower, Fred- erick Wolf, and Agnes Yarnelle.

The officers made up the committee here, also, and with the help of cr large number of the students of our class of '39, the party was made a success. We are proud of the members of our class of '39, which has brought forth many out- standing students, such as Raymond Heine and Robert Duell on the debate team, Rich- ard Van Camp as an up and coming cheer leader, Harrison Richardson and Kenneth Rice in athletics, Sis Arnold and Maxine Waters in girls' sports, Melva O'Shaugh- nessey in C.

At the pep session given in October especially for the freshmen, they showed their real Central spirit by learning the school yells and songs and later by put- ting this knowledge to use at pep session and games. About two hundred freshmen at- tended the class party given in the girls' gymnasium in February. The party proved to be a success in fun and money. At the election of class officers, Robert Bienz was named president: Harold Masurs- ky, vice-president: Dorothy Davies, secre- tary-treasurerg and Theodore Bakalar, Eu- lalia Bermes, Billie Ann Deatrick, Byron Doenges, Rosemary Edelen, Betty lames, Louise lean, Robert Nash, Tom O'Rourke, Wanda Racine, and Betty Lou Stetter, social council members. Miss Virginia Kinnaird and Mr. Robert Dornte were chosen class advisers. l46l The class of '40 is active in various school and extra-curricular activities. The cheer- leaders from this class are lack Grerizenbach, Eugene Nicole, and Everett Schmidt. Over one hundred freshmen girls and the same number of boys took part in after-school basketball practice and about seventy boys went out for football. Fealing Talley, one of the best known freshmen athletes, was the only freshman to receive a Central sweater this season. The '40 class has two of its members, Dick Butler and Tom Heller, in the Boosters' Club, while twenty freshmen are members of the Central band and nineteen are in the orchestra. Iulia Cowan repre- sented the class as little Hazel Boyd in the Senior Play. The winners of the freshmen extemporaneous speech contest were Rose Hess, first, and lean Lee, second. The '40 class is also represented in the Spot- light by David Skory, Harry Meads, Bob Eastes, Mildred Gardiner, lack Grenzenbach, Betty Miller, and Betty Lou Stetter. Bill Latz, a camera enthusiast, won honors in a photography contest with pictures he took on his father's farm. Those on the semester honor roll were Mildred Butts, Esther Charlton, Dorothy Da- vies, Maxine Davis, Duwayne Green, Norine Kauffman, Walter Lyle, Harold Masursky, Geraldine Miller, Neva Nagel, Robert Nash, Phyllis Sommers, Gloria Temple, Hope War- ner, and Maxine Wass. Many of the class have not been absent or tardy since coming to Central. Twenty-two freshmen made the second six Weeks' honor roll, Viola Kaiser and Gloria Belle Temple leading.

Farrell, Our Boosters Boost One of the largest and most active clubs in Central is the Booster Club composed of representatives from each organization and class. Iohn Davies was the chairman elected this year, and he appointed Anne Boehme as secretary. The Boosters' activities begin with the football season. Some members sell at the stand and others sell through the crowd. Candy, weiners, gum, and coca-cola are sold. Throughout the football and basket' ball seasons, committees put up decorations. The annual Booster banquet is the first social affair for the club members. At the close of the football season, the Tiger Mixer is held in the girls' gymnasium for which every football season ticket includes a ticket. With the basketball season comes an' other period of activity for the Boosters. Be- sides the stand-duty, there is the pop-corn machine which requires attention. During the season favors are made from blue and white crepe paper which are given to fans. Each year the Boosters hold a Valentine Pep Session in honor of the Basketball team. This year the girls attired in red and white rode on bicycles, delivering a heart shaped box of candy to each of the team, Mr. Cron- inger, Miss Brigham, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Bailhe, Mr. Mendenhall, Mr. Dornte, and Mr. Abbett. At the end of the basketball season comes the annual Tiger Hop. This year's theme was Paris in the Spring. ln May the Booster Club for the next school year is announced: the final activity is an all-day picnic at a nearby lake.

For the last five years Miss Pence has assisted the club. Last summer several girls from Central attended conference at Camp Yarnelle at which time they learned a great deal about club work, and this winter, putting their knowledge into practice, they have helped the club to have a successful year. At the beginning of each semester the cabinet meets with the cabinets of the other high school clubs of the city in setting-up conferences either at Camp Yarnelle or at the Y. W. C. A. Approximately fifty girls have belonged to Friendship Club this year. We had varied meetings, a picnic in the fall, special Thanks- giving and Christmas celebrations, member- ship parties at the beginning of each semes- ter, Valentine, St. Patrick and Easter meet- ings. In our World Fellowship project we did special work concerning lndian Lore. For service work the club gave Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas baskets and contributed to the needlework guild. One of our most outstanding projects this year was our Christmas service work. With some financial help from Miss Harrah and the liberal contributions of the girls of the Friendship Club we bought many lovely presents. These gifts, with some children's clothing given us by the home economics department, were given to a family recom- mended by the Iournal-Gazette. The officers for the two semesters were: president, Ieanette Ionesg vice-president, first, Helen Mertzy second, Anne Boehme: secre- tary, first, Dwayne Shearer: second, Rose Masurskyy treasurer, first, Rose Masurskyg second, Helen Mertz. Other girls who have been on the cabinet this year are: Iane Pol- lak, Margie I. Miller, Estella Graft, Dorothy Zeigler, Velma Torbeck, Iuanita Radebaugh, Emily Iagow, and Dorothy Roach. row - I.

Middle l56l Reaching Toward the Highest By Jo Freigy To give every freshman and sophomore girl a chance to express her ideals, to make new acquaintances, and to develop her powers of leadership are the purposes of the Central Triangle Club. Each member is on some committee and each committee in rotation provides a pro- gram and entertainment for the meetings held in club rooms on alternate Thursdays. A membership tea opened the fall activities, followed by a Kid Party and rough initiation early in November. Part of the meetings are social, such as the Tea Dance, which was given as a joint project with the Friendship Club, the sister Girl Reserve organization. ln November the C. T. C. had a hayride, followed by a social hour at the Y. W. C. A. Guests from both North Side and South Side were included in the party. Together with the Friendship Club the C. T. C. arranged the specialties and engaged the orchestra for the annual dance after the Sectional Tournament at North Side High School by the joint Girl Reserve clubs of the three high schools. As service work also plays an important part in the Girl Reserve activity, at Christmas time and at Thanksgiving the girls con- tribute baskets of food to the needy. They First row left to right!!-f.

The Makers of the Rook By Jean Bergquist To make the 1937 Caldron twice as large and interesting with the hope of enticing twice as many subscribers, many volunteers set to work and won their positions by com- petition, ln October the Staff launched a subscrip- tion campaign under the direction of Irving Latz, senior, and George Reed, junior. Fired with enthusiasm, five representatives of the Caldron attended the National Scholastic Press Convention in December at Detroit to obtain new ideas for working out the book. Mary McAnlis, Virginia Cowan, Mary Hat- tersley, Ed O'Rourke, George Reed, and Miss Ingham. Returning they shared their in- spirations with others at a potluck supper in the school cafeteria. Raising money then being of foremost im- portance, the staff got busy. Student pictures and frames were sold. The Caldron held a Thanksgiving Tea Dance in the girls' gym and later a May Day Tea Dance. Other money makers were a candy sale at the Senior-Caldron Vodvil and chances on a step-guessing contest in which Van Stover won a free Caldron. Publicity played a leading party Ruth Rasp furnished ideas for the posters which were made by losephine Freigyp Charles Rothschild and Charles Laymon acted as sandwich men in halls, cafeteria, and around the school. As an economy measure and for fun, Ed O'Rourke took many pictures used in this book. Prom the small monthly magazine of l909, the Caldron grew to an annual in 1919. Through the years it has been largely a senior publication. This year, however, starting with new advisers, Miss Marian lngham and Miss Wilkening, art adviser, and an entirely new membership, the staff with Mary McAnlis as editor, has endeavored to present a yearbook representing the entire school. A representative was chosen from each club or organization to write his club story. Snapshots were furnished by various students, and pictures of underclassmen were featured. t63l l- SPOTLIGHT KMAIOBJ Left to right-R. Masursky, M. Cory, D. Troxel, D. Arnold, C. Laymon, P. Crosby, I.

Miller, M's and M's of Copy Come From 'Em By Mary Lou Cory Because of the transfer of last year's Spot- light adviser, Mr. I. Wilbur Haley, to the principalship of the Miner School, Miss Leah Austin and Mr. lohn B. lones were asked to advise the Spotlight staff, Miss Austin super- vising the editorial department and Mr. Iones, the business. The fact that both Miss Austin and Mr. lones had previously had a vast amount of experience in work of this kind, added greatly to the welfare of the or- ganization. Both accepted the positions with the understanding that as soon as some one could be found to fill their places, they would be excused. At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Cleon Fleck, formerly a mem- ber of the journalistic department at Colum- bia City, accepted the position of Iournalism instructor and adviser to the publication, however, Mr. Fleck will not assume sole responsibility for the paper until next year. Thinking that greater efficiency would be gained by having a small group, the staff of last semester contained approximately f64l fifty-five members. This staff was headed by Mary Lou Cory, Editor-in-chief: Anne Boehme, Managing Editor: Thelma Springer, Desk Editor: Bob Williams, Editorial Writer: Don Troxel, Sports Editor: Bose Masursky and leanne Fox, News Editors, and lane Pol- lak, Feature Editor. Dave Arnold was Busi- ness Manager during the first part of last semester, but the position was taken over by Estella Graft and Eileen Crapser, who re- mained the business managers throughout the second term. During the second semester, Anne Boehme headed the paper as Editor-in-chief of the publication: Thelma Springer, as Managing Editor: Bose Masursky and Bob Williams, as Desk Editors: Carl Layman as Sports Edi- tor: Clara Rhodes and Margie I. Miller, as News Editors, and lreta Miller as Feature Editor. Mary Lou Cory acted as Student Adviser. The staff increased to nearly one hundred members the second term. The Spotlight staff aided the North Side and South Side staffs by supervising the edi- torial part of the Sectional News, published a Regional News of their own, a special Easter Edition and an April Fool's edition. One of the social events sponsored by the staff during the year was a potluck in the early part of the first semester, at which time future plans for the staff were announced. A picnic sometime in the spring, and a pub- lication banquet at the end of the school term are the two most important social func- tions of the year. At this banquet the new staff is usually announced and the most competent editor and business manager of the year are honored by having their names engraved on a silver cup. Spotlight letters and gold pins are awarded the hardest working members of the staff at this time. This event concludes the work for the staff during the year and acts as a sort of fare- well party for the Seniors graduating from school. Quit Pen Pushers --the Quill and Scroll At the beginning of the semester, the Cen- tral High School chapter of the International Iournalistic Society, Quill and Scroll, con- sisted of only four members. These mem- bers were: lane Bash, Mary McAnlis, Anne Boehme, and Mary Lou Cory. New mem- bers are admitted twice a year, in the fall and again in the spring. Those selected must have done outstanding work in either of the publications and must have been on the staff two years if a junior and one if a senior. This year five people were selected at the fall election. Those five were: Margie I. Miller, Helen Mertz, Rose Masursky, Clara Hhodes, and lane Pollak. Even though some of these new members were active in both publications, all five were selected from the Spotlight staff, there being none who were wholly eligible from the Caldron as not enough work had been done on the annual. On April 23 six new members were an- nounced three from the Caldron and three from the Spotlight. Those from the Caldron were Virginia Cowan, George Heed, and Ed O'Rourke.

They Speak For Us The debate squad of the 1936-37 season comprised Maxine Brand, Paul Schwehn, Ann Krugh, Kathryn Goodwin, Pauline Knipple, Kenneth Castor, Mary Koons, Ray- mond Heine, and Robert Duell. The squad led by Mr. Albert A. Coil, coach, has a very good record for this season, losing but four out of nineteen varsity debates. The affirma- tive, however, have the better record, losing only to Columbia City and winning from Huntington, Lafayette Central, Columbia City Cearlier in the seasonl, North Side, Hunt- ington Township, and four schools in an in- vitational tournament at North Side. The negative defeated Huntington Township, North Manchester, Elmhurst, Bluffton, anil one school in the invitational tournament but lost two in the tournament, one to North Side, and one to Columbia City. ln state competition Central won the sub- sectional, which was the first round, but lost to Columbia City in the sectional tourna- rrierit ln order to make this record possible the squad held thirty-three meetings starting on T661 October 21, 1936, and ending February 24, 1937. ln addition each member of the squad has spent many hours in individual study. At the Indiana N. F. L. Debate Tourna- ment at Purdue University April 23 and 24, teams from Central, North Side, Columbia City, Wiley of Terre Haute, Columbus, and Hammond competed. Ann Krugh and Robert Duell were the negative debaters and Paul Schwehn and Maxine Brand, the affirma- tive contenders of the subject, Resolved, That all electric utilities shall be governmen- tally owned and operated. They Went into the finals losing to Columbia City. But the season comprised not only work: there were many more enoyable events. Every member attended the debate confer- ence at Purdue University. There were many trips, for example, to North Manchester, to Columbia City, and to Elmhurst besides a Christmas party: a dinner at the Y. M. C. A. during the sub-sectional tournament, and the annual chicken dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Coil, May 13. They're Silver Tonqued By Robert Duell and MaX1'ne Brand Perhaps no other organization in Central entices a debator as does the National Forensic League, an honorary debating or- ganization, national in its membership. This crganization offers to students interested in interscholastic debate an opportunity to realize many rewards for their efforts to aid their school to take the State Debate Charn- pionship and at the same time to give the student experience through repeated compe- tition. Within the last year special National Forensic League contests have been spon- sored by the league in order to provide this competition long after the regular debate season has closed. Our chapter, here at Central, sponsors Bow Day every year in caniunction with the annual Valentine Pep Session. Vari- colored bows are made and the funds ob- tained through their sale are used to pay for the judges during the debate season. Other speech activities during the year are also sponsored by the League as is the spring banquet which formally closes the speech season, since no contests of major impor- tance take place after the banquet. At this banquet each year, awards are presented to those who have earned thernt through interscholastic debating throughout the season. Last year National Forensic League pins were presented to those who had accumulated sixty points each through debating. Pins were given to Max Ochstein, Helen Long, Paul Schwehn, and Maxine Brand. This year the pins will go to Robert Duell and Ann Krugh. Presentation is also made of the degree seals. These seals de- note the degree which the student has at- tained. The white seal denotes the degree of Merit, the bronze, the degree of Honor, the silver, the degree of Excellence and the gold, the degree of Distinction. The members of the National Forensic League are Paul Schwehn, Robert Duell, Raymond Heine, Maxine Brand, and Mr. A. Coil. Mr. Robert S. Koerber, Senior, was presented with an honorary membership certificate at the banquet held a year ago. Miss Tonkel, former coach of debate, is an honorary member. The organization holds meetings the first Monday of each month and officers are elected to serve for one en- tire school year. Due to the work involved during the debating season, meetings auto- matically become debate sessionsg conse- quently, few business meetings are held. The officers for this year were Paul Schwehn, president: Raymond Heine, vice-president, and Maxine Brand, secretary. ATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE R. Duel 1, R. y I Heine, Mr. Coil, A F, M. Brand, P.

Expert Marksmen---All! ln the fall of l935, the Girls' Rifle Club was reorganized under the supervision of Mr. Harry Veatch and Miss Helen Hilgemann, This year Mr. Stout took Mr. Veatch's place. Meetings are held every Wednesday in the Craig Building at which time the girls try their skill at shooting the bull's eye. ln Ianuary the club became a member of the Iunior Division of the National Rifle As- sociation. The aim of every rifleman is to become pro-marksman, marksman, marksman first- class, sharpshooter, expert rifleman, and distinguished rifleman. To attain this goal demands much skill but the distinction gained is well Worth the trouble. Gfficers of the club for this year were Phyllis Criswell, president, and Iean Lari- more, secretary-treasurer. f68l About twenty boys meet every Monday and Thursday on the range in the basement of the Wood shop building to improve their shooting skill. This organization is affiliated with the National Rifle Association whose program for encouraging and promoting shooting by giving awards is a constant in- spiration to the members. The awards are similar to those offered to the girls. This chapter has held ten matches with a fair degree of success, but since many of the younger members show considerable promise, prospects are bright for next year. B. Keever is president and I. Magnuson is secretary-treasurer. Dues of twenty-five cents each semester are used to defray ex- penses. This year the club bought a tele- scope and an additional target rifle. Amateur Aviators By Paul Lee The Model Airplane Club, sponsored by Mr. Hemphill, aids all boys in learning the facts about airplanes. Officers of the club are: Roy lahn, president, Eugene Eastman, vice-president, Richard Gerwig, secretary- treasurer. Dues of five cents each per month are used for supplies. Meetings are held every Thursday with contests in the gym in which, Roy lahn and Robert Knoche hold the rec- ords of Class R. O. G. trise off groundl models. Forrest Martens, Richard Gerwig and Eugene Eastman had some fast climb- ing scale models. Kenneth Dickenson and Melvin Schott built successful models in the balloon-bursting contest. Paul Lee, Forrest ' Martens, Melvin Schott, and lohn lohns built gliders that withstood the thermal currents for over forty seconds. - This semester the Club is building gas models for the National Aeronautical As- sociation Contest. AIRPLANE CLUB Modern Robinhoods By Elmer Ueber The Archery Club of Central was organ- ized in l932 for the purpose of giving those students interested in the sport a chance to learn more about the art of making their own bows and arrows and especially to provide a range for indoor practice during the school year. Meetings held every Tuesday are devoted to archery practice and the business of the club including a study of the development of archery. This study has been very in- teresting as the bow has been used for more than 25,000 years. During this year mem- bers of the Fort Wayne Archery Club have shot with our group and have given much help in improving scores. ln the spring the :lub promotes archery hikes and shoots on .he public range in Foster Park. Mrl Wilson is the adviser and officers for ine first semester were: president, l-larry Robinson: vice-president, Elton Wilson, sec- retarv and treasurer, Elmer Ueber. Officers for me second semester were: president, Elmer Ueber, vice-president, Ray Lyle, secre' tary and treasurer, lohn Shumaker. ARCHERY CLUB Sitting--f-R. lahn, P. Lee, G. Emkow, K.

Soloists in the Cantata were Dorothy Zeigler and Helen Phinney, sopranos, and Genevieve and losephine Freigy, altos. The Glee Clubs and the or- chestra gave an Easter concert featuring Rev. Richard Trojan, baritone. Moments ot Culture String Trio By Ruth Seigel The Central High School String Trio composed of Marguerite Baker, violinist: Kathleen Bolyard, cellist: and Ruth Seigel, pianist, has distinguished itself by being placed in the first division at the National High School Band and Crchestra Contest held in Cleve- land, Ohio, in l936. The two preceding years the trio placed in the second division at the Na- The members tional Contests. liave also made names for themselves as soloists winning the district and state con- tests and achieving second and third divi- sions in the national contests on their respec- tive instruments. Band By Ru th Seigel A game or a pep session is never com- plete without the music and color that is provided by Central's fifty-eight piece band, directed by Burton Bolyard. Dressed in at- tractive blue and white uniforms the band members by their enthusiastic manner and sprightly music inspire every Centralite. ln November a band concert, featuring Richard Stross, cornet soloist, was given in the gym for the entire student body.

Grchestra By Ru th Seigel Last year the orchestra participated in a music festival at Indiana University in Bloomington where they were awarded a certificate of merit. They were pronounced the best orchestra present. During the same month the orchestra came in the first division in the National Band and Orchestra Contest at Peru, entitling them to go to Elkhart for the State Contest. Besides these achievements the orchestra has given several concerts for the school. This year they again won the district contest at Columbia City, April 16, and second divi- sion in state competition at Laporte, May l.

A. Diary By Ruth Sandkuhler Sept. 23, l936-A picnic at Foster Park. We rode out on a truck, singing and yelling all the way. Held short business meeting and then filled ourselves to the brim with hot dogs and roasted apples. We rode bicycles, played tennis and baseball, and soaked our feet crossing the river on stones. Oct. 28, l936fElmhurst G. A. A. were our guests today. We played games and were entertained by Dick Derrickson and Richard McBride, a real one-man band. The cocoa tasted scorched, but the dough- nuts were good. Dec. l8, 1936-Following the Central-C. C. game, Gene Sheridans orchestra played for our annual dance. The floor show was swell and so was the large crowd. Cen- tral and Central Catholics teams were guests. Everybody had a swinging good time. Next Wednesday we'll hold our Christ- mas Party. Hope we have the usual Santa Claus and a gift exchange. fNo dog pinsl l'm on the eats committee so there'll be food. Ian. 30, 1937-C. G. A. A. went on the air at WOWO today. Ella and Dorothy ex- plained the club and the basketball tour- nament. Nellie tap danced accompanied by Mary Lou, and then our own an- nouncer, a dead ringer for Iohn Hackett picked up the game. We yelled so T721 much, and got so excited it was like a real game. At the half, Evelyn, Ruth and Ellen told about the exhibition and banquet. Lois was 'Iack Benny. Feb. 24, 1937-Today, Miss lrene Meyers, personnel director at General Electric Com- pany, spoke to us on Loyalty makes Teamwork. She appealed to every one of us and we want her to come again. She knows Central girls for some of her most loyal Elex members are from here.

The Student' Players For those students who love the stage and are interested in its accomplishments, the Student Players' Club was organized in 1919. This club furnishes the opportunity for students to take an active part in produc- tions given and to take charge of the regular monthly meetings. However, before one may become a member of the Student Players' Club, he must have taken dramatics for one semester in the classes that are held every Wednesday. After this requirement he is eligible to be initiated. The initiation usually centers about the play in which all beginners are required to participate, directed by the program committee for that month. Central was awarded the prize for the best performance given by the initiates of the three high schools. The boy and girl indi- vidual awards were won by Maurice Snyder and Ieanne Davenport. The Hitching Post, an exceedingly hu- morous play, was the production given by Central initiates, Minister, Maurice Snyder: old maid, leanne Davenport: bride, Marion Menzep bridegroom, Robert Stoddard: Miss Suter, Virginia Cowan, bride's mother, Kath- ryn Simon: pianist, Sarah Stettlerg Stubby, lack Grenzenbachp Shinny, Mary Amber Wolfg ushers, Herschel O'Shaughnessey and Robert DePreyy bride's son, LeRoy Gerkeg bride's father, Geary Menzeg bride's maids, Eldon Baker, Marjorie Burns, Lois Brower, Betty Fuller, Theodore Collias, Mary Prze- bindowski, Lois Heck, Martha Gause, Vir- ginia Yergens, Mae Rose Slagle, leanne Fox, and Delores O'Connor. One of the highlights of the Student Play- ers' activities is the annual potluck, held in Central's auditorium where entertainment and refreshments are provided for the mem- bers by the months program committee. The final meeting for all three schools is held in lune at Franke Park where, following the main event which is the initiation program, a dance is held and then dinner is served. Miss Suter, the head of the Student Play- ers' Club, is a very capable adviser. She directs all the plays given throughout the year in each high school. The Student Players' Club has adopted the point system wherebya member receives points for services he renders the club. Such as serving on the program committee, par- ticipating in a play, or working backstage. After the member has finished his high school work and is ready to graduate, the points he has accumulated will be added and the ones receiving an unusually high number of points are presented a gold The officers for the Student Players' Club from September to lanuary were: Lawrence Baker, president: Bob Spackman, vice-presi- dentg Maxine Brand, secretary-treasurer. The officers from lanuary to Iune were: Bob Spackman, president, Andree Thomas, vice-president, and Pauline Knipple, secre- tary-treasurer. I73l Senior Play Pictures Top--Prologue. M. Brand, P.

E741 ' Behind the F ootliqhts Central's dramatic season of l936-1937 opened with the annual presentation of the two one-act plays directed by Miss Suter, The Fifteenth Candle, a tragedy, and The Marriage Proposal, a comedy. Those who took part in The Fifteenth Candle were: Vedetti, an old Italian shoemaker, Paul Schwehnp Stella, his daughter, a seamslress, Pauline Knippleg Rosa, a younger daughter, Mary McAnlisg Mr. Goldstein, an unprin- cipled man, who acts as labor agent for a factory, Lawrence Bakery Miss Roberts, an art teacher in the high school, Elizabeth Lanier. The plot revolved around Stella and her father, Vedetti, fighting for Rosa, as the father wanted Rosa to quit school and go to work at the factory, but Stella wanted her to finish school and continue in her art work. The tragedy of the play was the revelation that Rosa might have to work at the factory in spite of Stella's pleadings. Then to lighten the hearts of the audience The Marriage Proposal followed, featuring Maxine Brand as Natalie Steponavitchp Robert Williams fthe young man in lovel, as Ivan Vassilivitch, and Robert Kaag, the father of Natalie. The play centered on the two lovers who were always quarreling about something that was of no importance such as whose dog was superior. An unusual senior play was given this year, November 20 and 21, for the plot was different from that of the usual run of plays. The title of the play was Once There Was a Princess. The role of Princess Delatorre was taken by Elizabeth Lanier. Other lead- ing characters were: Robert Williams as Phil Lennox, the boy in love with the prin- cess: Dorothy Staley, as Ruby Boyd, a young girl in love with Milton D'Arcy, played by Wayne Brown. Virginia Yergens, Mrs. Boyd, Iulia Ann Cowan, the youngest in the Boyd family, Hazel Boyd: Pharaba Rosenbarger, the old maid aunt, Aunt Meta Trimble, Paul- ine Knipple, the town gossip, Mrs. Purring- tony Andree Thomas, another gossip, Mrs. Seaverg Mae Rose Slagle, the French maid, Iosephineg Dwayne Shearer, a neighbory Paul Schwehn, Signor Moronig and Maxine Brand, the old princess, completed the cast. The play concerned the coming home of a princess to her small home town in America. Having never seen a princess, the town set about for a celebration. The princess not realizing this, returns home and finds the town in such a turmoil over her coming that she keeps her identity a secret except to a few persons and lives up to ex- pectations by appearing in all the finery of a queen. The princess falls in love with her childhood sweetheart and all ends hap- pily. The Bellman of Mons, the Christmas play, featured Robert Williams as the bell- man. Many student players were in the ensemble scene which really clicked Irving Latz as the cynical citizen, Bob Kaag as the Town-crier, lack Grenzenbach as Iules, the boy who was able to play the or- gan, comprised some of the outstanding characterizations. The church set designed and executed by Lawrence Baker and Bob Kaag was unusual and effective. ln the Wings Only half the show is seen by the spec- tators, for the stage crew, entangled in cords, pulleys, and tapestry, set up, pull down, plug in, and pull out at a mornent's notice.

The course of study in those days was entirely classical, stressing the study of languages. The high school offered, during the year l867-l868, Latin, Greek, French, German, English, drawing, natural sciences, higher mathematics, painting, literature, and vocal and instrumental music. ln contrast to the old classical course, Central now trains her pupils in civics, economics, sociology, history, industrial arts, commercial studies, home economics, science, and physical education. Sixty years ago pupils wor- ried unceasingly over the period from the second week of May to the close of school year on account of final exams. These examinations were very thorough but usually had only ten questions in each subject. Extra-Curricular Activities today have greatly increased and have their part in determining the future of many graduates, because those who are prominent in this line of work usually find employment in established busi- ness houses. Our courses in journalism and public speaking have a large following and do their part well in determining future orators, lawyers, and journalists. Boys who have graduated from Central vocational courses have become foremen in prominent factories. At the close of the nineteenth century the city's first high school was so overcrowded that bonds were floated by Oliver P. Morgan, john S. lrwin, and Edward Slocum, and the New Port Wayne High and Manual Training School was built in l9U2. This school came to be known as our own Central, Mother of Port Wayne Schools. By l922 the enrollment had again increased so much that a new build- ing was necessary, and South Side Hlgh School was built.

Plans are underway for a stone building to be located on the site of the Hamilton homestead.

Three Reasons for Central's Enthusiasm By jane Bash Crack! Central's on the Floor! These ringing words will always be remembered by every loyal fan, as they are the opening words of every athletic affair. Dressed in tricky suits of blue and white, the three cheerleaders, left Michell, Ed Timmis, and Byron Leeth, keep the crowd enthusiastic by leading the many yells of dear old Central. On the windy football field, on the slick basketball floor, and at every hilarious pep session these boys inspire us. Melody - Makers The Harmonica Band under the leader- ship of Mr. Arnold has thirtysnine members with an average attendance of twenty-five at the meetings. The band was organized a few years ago by Mr. Michaud, who is now a member of North Side High School faculty. The band is made up of harmonicas, violins, accordions, guitars, lews harps, clarinet and bones. lt has given entertains ment before many civic organizations, Harmonica Band Kneeling left to right-V l.

Left to rightilf. Timmis, I. Michell, B, Modern Dianas By Mary Hattersley and Marian Cabler Diana was the Greek goddess of sport, but she was no more lithe and gay than the Dianas of today. No sport is left untouched at the end of the school year by these young disciples of Diana. Volleyball, the first at- traction, draws many enthusiasts from freshmen to seniors. Class work teaches the game for a few weeks and then the gym is open to after-school practice. Six gruelling weeks of practice are essen- tial for any team willing to win the volleyball tournament. Eight teams are chosen to com- pete in this tourney, a first and second team for every class. Each team plays against the others and the winner of all the games is the champion. This year the senior team won the championship. The sophomore first team defeated the freshmen team and the junior team defeated the sophomores. The junior, sophomores, and freshmen second teams each ended with a game to its credit. Speedball, a combination of soccer and basketball, was introduced this year and proved most popular for its speed and varied ways of scoring, kicking and completing passes. Speedball is dropped when basket- ball takes the floor, for basketball is the favorite of many. Like volleyball, basketball brings a tournament, but because of the quick action and common interest in basketball, its tournament is by far the most exciting. Eight teams are again chosen, matched, and played off against one another. The seniors again took the championship, entitling them to having their class numeral again en- graved on the Koerber Cup. The junior team put up a hard fight and had two games to their credit. Although the sophomore team displayed excellent teamwork, only one game was won. This team is a promis- ing one for future years. Among the out- standing players of the whole tournament were Motter, Hardiek, Frech on the senior team, Nard and Conley on the junior team, Arnold and l-lammons on the sophomore team, and Thomsen and Conley on the freshmen team. Betty Motter was high on points with Ellen Heck second. Diana, being a goddess, did all things with ease. But her modern followers, not goddesses, meet a stumbling block. That block is tumbling. All unused muscles and stiff joints soon become most prominent. Head stands, numbers of rolls and jumps, acrobatic stunts, and pyramids are just a part of the sport. But after long days of practice experts appear. Exceptional talent was found in Maxine Larimer, Bernadette Shearer, loyce Lord, Mary Helen Kelly, and Ieanette Danaher. Every month offers a new activity for gifted athletes. Thus the dancers of Central find their joy, for tap dancing is next in the yfrmfzrlzml wi pfztgt' K1 Honor Sweater Girls-B. Derrickson, B.

For beginners, the class starts learning the simple steps of threes, fives, and sevens, and then a simple routine of steps, Advanced classes and after-school participants learn the more difficult dances. A few of the girls are really skilled and act as student instructors. The two teachers and the girls taking gym work finish the school year with the climax of the whole program, the Girls' Gym Ex- hibition. All the Weeks of practicing volley- ball, basketball and tumbling, tap and folk dancing find theiryreward in this giant affair. Colorful costumes are planned and made. PLUNGE READY? HOLD IT! HOP-SHUFFLEA-STEP TRUE OR FALSE? Dances are originated and worked out, re- lay races performed, and expert tumbling feats accomplished. Each sport of the year parades forth in brilliant pageantry adding its bit to the exhibition held on May 7 with about four hundred girls taking part to the enjoyment of the thousand spectators. Baseball has a special appeal, for it can be played outdoors in May. The time, how- ever, is limited, but players come out after school twice a Week to earn sufficient points for awards. Many Central girls become ex- pert baseballers and are l'booked to play on city play grounds during the summer. X811 Snapshots Top row left to riqht-Our Counsel For Defense. The Fair Sex.

The Tigers' next engagement was at South Bend with Riley High School. The game was hard fought all the way with Riley finally winning by the score of 13 to O. Central's third tilt was played at Elkhart. As that school was forecast as possible state champs, it was no digrace for the Tigers to be trimmed 25 to 7. Playing Central Catholic at the North Side Field the next Saturday afternoon, Central rolled up their second win beating the Cath- olic School by the low score of 9 to O. Han- char tallied from the five yard line and Richardson, aggresive sophomore end, fell on C. C.'s right halfback behind the line for a safety which constituted Central's nine points and the only scoring of the game. The next tilt was a push-over for the Tigers, as they easily defeated Decatur, 25 to 7. Bourne on a beautiful open field run ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Huth, reserve center, intercepted a pass and duplicated Bourne's feat for two of Central's most outstanding runs of the '36 campaign. The North Side Redskins mowed down Central next and with Shumm carrying the ball took the Tigers into camp by the score of 12 to O. Central fought throughout the game, but was unable to.cope with the at- tack set up by the Redskins. ln the Auburn game Central made up for the defeat inflicted by North Side, beating the Red Devils by the overwhelming score of 33 to 6. Reserves played most of the game with Russell, Talley, l. Celarek, F. Ce- larek, and Red Miller scoring for the Tigers. Altekruse converted three extra points. Columbia City threw a scare into Central when they scored six points early in the game, for it appeared that they would hold the Tigers scoreless. Red Miller saved the game, however, as he plunged for a touch- down with about three minutes to play, and then plunged for the extra point. Result: Central 7 Columbia City 6. Training hard all week the Tigers were given a slight chance to beat South Side Archers, but the Archers turned the tables and completely overwhelmed the downtown school, beating Central by the score of 25 to 13. The Tigers were held scoreless until the fourth quarter when by the superior pass- ing of Ray Yarman and the plunging ability of Red Miller, Central garnered 13 points, Red scoring bothiouchdowns and Lloyd Altekruse converting the extra point. The 1936 football season was over, but because of his ability, Emmet Bogdon, stellar right guard, was elected Honorary Captain of the squad and was also placed on the News-Sentinel Mythical All-City Eleven. The campaign considering records was not a great or overwhelming success, but considering courage plus willingness to work this season will be long remembered by students and Central advocates. The ranks were riddled by graduation, yet Mur- ray Mendenhall took the material offered him and developed it into a squad capable of being called the Fighting Tigers of Cen- tral High School.

E863 The Light ln spite of the loss of Steve Sitko, Bob Brown, and Fred Kabisch, the eight veterans, Armstrong, Motter, Braden, Paul, Schaefer, Biddle, Altekruse, and Staniszewski, with the able assistance of loe and Frank Celerak, the Tigers again went to State. ln the first game of the season, Muncie's tall quintet fell before the fast-speeding Bengals by the score of 27 to 23. On the next week-end Bob Nulf's proteges were subdued by the Central Light Brigade by the close score of 32 to 28. Archie Chadd's highly publicized Ander- son Indians fell before the rampaging Tigers the next week in Central's gym. Anderson 'led by a good margin at the end of the third period, but the Tigers paced by Curly Armstrong, pulled rapidly away to win with 39 to 27. Kendallville and Columbia City were the first N. E. I. C. games, and both teams were defeated by the respective scores of 37 to 23 and 41 to 25. Using their shock troops a good portion of the time, the Tigers swamped the lrish of Central Catholic, 53 to 18. With six wins and no losses charged against them, the Tigers suffered a slight relapse during the Christmas Tournament and were beaten by Horace Mann and North Side by the score of 33 to 28 and 39 to 28 respectively. The next four games were run-aways as Central defeated her Conference brothers by large scores. Auburn fell to the tune of 40 to 16 while Hartford City went down 29 to 15. With a commanding lead secured in the first half, the Central reserve out- played the Bluffton quintet to win 36 to 16. The Yellow lackets of Decatur were held to one field goal, as Central won by the im- posing score of 53 to 16. Brigade The Archers of South Side were favored to knock off the Bengals, but the Tigers, con- tinuing their tactics, race-horsed South Side to win by the large score of 47 to 27. Central's second victory over North Side was more impressive, the score being 44 to ll. The Light Brigade, living up to their illus- trious ancestors from whence the name was derived, continued their celebrated winning streak by severely defeating Huntington, 53 to 16: South Bend Central, 42 to 29. Bed- ford, favorite of many to win the state title, was defeated by the score of 42 to 29, and the South Side Archers again beaten by 34 to 13. Morton of Bichmond on their own court proved a thorn in Central's side for three quarters, but the Tigers flashed a superior brand of ball in the last period and beat the Mortonians by the score of 36 to 28. The Blue Blazers from Elkhart proved Central's greatest foes but were finally de- feated by the close score of 36 to 34. Marion, Central's last opponent, was downed by the Bengalites by the score of 30 to 16. The Tigers entered the sectional as favor- ites, yet, as the draw indicated, were faced with the toughest schedule of the city teams. ln their first game the Central quintet waded through Woodburn by the massive score of 83 to ll. Decatur proved stubborn but finally went down, 47 to 28. The Tigers then proceeded to disprove a long time jinx and sent the Archers of South Side home with a stinging defeat of 35 to 21. ln the finals Central defeated a determined North Side band, 37 to 28, to win their second sec- tional in a row. Because of their excellent work during the tournament, Armstrong, Schaefer, Paul, and 1871 Motter gained positions on the all-sectional squad. The Bengal Quintet continued their im- pressive win streak by swamping the Aire- dales of Hartford City in the first game of the Regional at Huntington by the top heavy score of 4l to 22 with the Reserves holding up in the final quarter the lead gained by the Regulars. The Bulldogs from Clear Creek, winners over Berne, were conquered by the Bengal Band in the Regional finals, 47 to 21. With the good wishes of all Fort Wayne behind them, the Tigers moved into the camp of the Muncie Bearcats and severely defeated the Magic City Quintet by the score of 43 to 3l. Warsaw, a dark horse, surprised the dopesters and came from behind to knock off the highly-touted Wabash team to the tune of 31 to 26. In the evening game the Bengals ran over the Warsaw Quintet to win by 15 points, the final score being 37 to 22, thus winning the Super-Regional. Picked by many to win the State Cham- pionship, the Tigers of Fort Wayne hit one of their unusual moments, which means an off-day, and consequently fell before the Happy Hunters of Huntingburg by the close score of 30 to 28, in the opening game at Indianapolis. Anderson defeated Rochester in the next game and continued on their way to State Championship by swamping Huntingburg in the final, 33 to 23. Thus ended a great season for the Ben- gals. Winning 27 games out of 30 the Tigers in the hearts of a great number of people were and always will be one of the finest teams ever to participate on a basketball court. The state of Indiana will never for- get those rampaging Tigers, who in three years won 72 of 82 games played. A great record for a great ball club. Paced not by one man but by all the boys playing, the Tigers combined good sports- manship with natural ability and in the hearts of all Northern Indiana are the Un- crowned Champs of this renowned basket- ball state. Because of the unusual success of the hardwood campaign, the Tigers swept aside all precedent and elected not one cap- tain but six of the regulars. This enables Braden, Paul, Schaefer, Riddle, Motter, and Armstrong to wear gold stripes on their sleeves instead of the customary white ones. Coach Murray Mendenhall. Seated-C, Armstrong, H.

Cx football game KQUI lntra-Murals lntra-Mural sports, for boys not capable of making the varsity, have an unusually large following in Central High School. This form of sport and pleasure also serves as a field where the two coaches, Mr. Men- denhall and Robert Dornte can observe the various teams and secure a good idea of what the prospects for varsity will be. Great names have arisen from the intra- mural ranks and most boys attribute their success in athletics to their early exper- ience in these after-school activities. ln the All-Star League which is com- posed usually of the larger and more capable boys, the Panthers held full sway. This team consisting of M. Marquette, T. Salmon, H. 0'Shaughnessey, D. Blos- ser, and I. Arnold severely defeated all opponents but the Rams who eked out a win in the opening game of each team. In the playoff for the championship the Rams took an early lead and were ahead at the half by the score of 9 to 7. The Panthers, however, turned on the steam in the last frame to win the game and championship by the decisive score of 23 to 13. ln the Senior Division the Cubs were the main contenders for the crown. This team displayed an impregnable defense and with a sterling offense were by far the best in this league. The Cubs swept aside all opponents and won the majority of their games by huge scores. Paced by D. Doswell, W. McCormick, I. Stiles. R. Iahn, L. Funk, and N. Funk the Cubs defeated the Five Aces in the play-off to reign as champs of this division. Perhaps the most outstanding quintet in the school for its size was the I-lot Shots. This team, small but mighty powerful, dis- played such cunning defense and offense that all opponents were at a loss. Composed of R. Bradtmiller, R. Kite, R. Miller, L. Fisher, and S. Gladding, the I-lot Shots were tops as they won the championship of the Midget League by defeating the Iunior Cubs in the final game Z2 to 10. Much interest was shown in the annual free throw tournament which attracted a large number of participants, at the conclu- sion of the basketball campaign. R. Kis- singer was by a good majority the most capable of all the performers and not many 7-'H Cubs. Senior Champs. Seated--R. Iahn, E. Ehle, R. Cook, I. Major. Standing-L. Funk, I. Stiles, W.

Kabisch. ln the annual elimination tournament held in the gym a dark horse came through. The Red Devils consisting of B. Moyer, C. Kizer, K. Fletter, A. Tyler, C. Rousseff Turpchenoff and R. Gross were not expected to go fary however playing superb ball in all their games this team swamped the Rams in the finals 23 to ll. l91l Along the Cinder Path Confronted with the loss of Brown, Charl- ton, Garvin, Collias, Schroff, Givens, and many other lesser performers, Coach Men- denhall is faced with a problem in develop- ing a capable track squad. However the return of Al Russell, Dick Kite, and Morris Owens has bolstered Central's hopes a great deal as these boys are all efficient performers and combined with other under- classmen should produce a well-balanced outfit. ln the high and low hurdles both, Ed Mil- ler and Ethar Charlton loom as poiential point winners. Charlton, being only a sophomore has looked unusually good in early tryouts and should develop into a great runner while Miller who is a senior has only this year but is determined to make the best of it. ln the lOO yard dash Al Russell, veteran from last year, seems to be tops and along with Talley, a freshman, and lack Hoefler should secure a great number of points in this dash. Russell is also a good performer in the 200 and 440 yard run and with Ecenbarger, and Hanley should work wonders on the cinder path. In the long and gruelling mile run M. Dun- lap and Lantz seem to be the main con- tenders while F. Celarek is the only varsity man from last year. ln the shot put Ecenbarger and Schrimp are the reserve contenders while Owens has his position cinched by virtue of his out- standing performances this year and last. Dick Kite seems to be the Tiger's best bet in the high jump. Kite who is only a junior l92l and who stands only about 5:6 has jumped 5:8 this year. With Lantz and Schrimp we have a capable trio. lack Hoefler and Roy john seem to be Central's best bets in the pole vault as both boys have turned in some good jumps this year. ln the 200 yard dash Mike Gaines, lankey sophomore, has the best record. Along with Campbell and Turpchinoff this trio should garner a great many points for the thinly clads. Chris Rousseff has turned in unusually good time in the 880 yard dash and as he is only a junior, he is expected to be a great track star. In the half mile relay Mendy will probably use either Charlton, Rousseff, Turpchenoff, Talley, Gaines, Yarman or Campbell as all of these boys have showed great possibili- ties. H. Kulesza only a freshman, seems to be best in the broad jump. Henry, along with H. Hanks, has jumped nearly l8 feet and as the season progresses should turn in better records. On the whole the Tigers seem to have an evenly balanced squad and should be a threat to all opponents. However North Side Redskins should be tops as graduation took only a couple of last year's pointgetters, and should, barring accidents, develop into a State Champion- ship squad. South Side also should prove to be a serious contender for the City, how- ever, as graduation which riddled the ranks of the Tigers was more fortunate for the Red- skins and Archers.
