TRADES AND INDUSTRIES AT CENTRAL By ITALO BRAGALONE, BETTY LYONS, and BETTY BITNER Director of the Industrial Arts in the public schools of this city, George H. Russell is the genial helper and friend of the men and boys associated with industrial arts. It has been largely through his efforts and those of his competent staff that Central High School is our leading technical school. This year commences the new plan be- tween the future employer and the industrial students of Central High School. This plan. inaugurated by Mr. Russell, endeavors to bring a closer understanding between the employer and the employee as to the type of preparation which industry will demand. This will enable each student to know the type of work for which he is best suited be- fore he is graduated from high school, thus eliminating much wasted time and effort on the part of both employer and employee. Hardly a person can visit any of the shops at Central without noticing the air of in- dustry and enthusiasm that prevails. Stu- dents in the shops catch the spirit and are realizing the need of more and better train- ing. GENERAL COURSE The boys are introduced into the various shops by means of a general course, con- sisting of periods of six weeks in each of the different shops. The six trades are drafting, machine shops, auto, electrical, pattern- foundry. and benchwork. By taking this course first. each boy is able to make his choice of a shop which he will consider his trade. In addition to the six shops listed. there a r e th e print shop and t h e wood-turn- ing shop. Drafting ranks very high not only in our in- dustrial a r t s work at Central but in the life of any boy who follows a me- chanical or in- dustrial career. We have two l a r g e w e 1 l equipped drafting rooms that furnish about 300 boys with the necessary instruments and equipment in machine drawing and design and architectural drafting. G. H. RUSSELL About 200 boys study the machinist trade at Central. The machine shop is equipped not only with all the necessary machine tools but also with facilities for work in sheet-metal and forging. Even though the time spent in this shop is not sufficient to enable a boy to acquire a great deal of skill. the amount of knowledge he receives and the attitude for the work he develops will help him in his work as a machinist. The arts shop is located in the annex across the alley from the main building. Here 130 future auto and aeronautics me- chanics are receiving training. Math and physics are required of these boys who are trained in the maintenance of internal-com- bustion engines. Much of the equipment used in this train- ing is the property of the United States Army and has been loaned to the school. Boys in this shop not only have the opportunity of working on various types of aeroplane en- gines, but are taught much of flight prob- lems and navigation. In the same building is the electrical shop where 180 boys are receiving theoretical and practical knowledge of electricity. Light and power circuits, alternating and direct cur- rents, power distributions and manufacture are but a few phases of electricity with which our future Edisons and Marconis become acquainted. In the shop located in the south end of the basement of the main building. would-be printers have an opportunity to learn some- thing about the trade. Typesetting. zinc etch- ings, engraving. cutting and figuring costs are some of the problems that must be taught to the boys studying printing. While the number of boys receiving training in this shop is not so large as in some of the other shops. the same spirit of industry and craftsmanship prevails. The crafts that require wood-working as a basis have their shop in what used to be the Craig Biscuit Building. now the School Warehouse. a building on Douglas Street iust west of the School Administration Build- ing. In this building these shops are located: bench work, wood turning, pattern- foundry, and the advanced cabinet work. In the first semester of the woodworking course. boys are trained in the use of hand tools needed in that craft. The boys make hundreds of articles of furniture that can be used at home. To round out this course, boys usually elect a second semester on the wood lathe. Although the wood lathe is not generally used in industry today, it is still taught for those boys who have wood lathes at home or for use in the pattern shop. Wood pattern making and advanced cab- inet work are carried in a well equipped shop in the south end of the Craig Building. Much furniture and equipment for the school is made by machinery in this shop. Patterns for various machines are made here and sent to a local commercial foundry where they are cast. They are then taken to the machine shop where they are ma- chined and finished. In the Craig building is a non-ferrous foundry where the boys take patterns they have made and make castings from them. In all the various shop activities the boys not only get information and training re- garding the trade they have taken up. but they realize the dignity and satisfaction of producing things with their own hands. COMMERCIAL STUDIES Girls as well as boys have vocations to follow. mainly the commercial and home economics courses. One of the largest de- partments, the Commercial. has 800 students enrolled under the supervision of four teachers. In the freshman year. iunior busi- ness training is offered followed the next year by bookkeeping. a complex fonn of mathematics used in keeping accounts and making business forms. Any student who wishes to become a sec- retary chooses shorthand and typing offered for two years. the last semester of shorthand being devoted to learning to operate dicta- phones, ediphones. adding machines, comp- tometers, and calculators. Many students become so expert in this work that the secure good positions as soo' graduated. Additional stud: maior course lish. and nomics is the proper choosing of accessories and traveling etiquette. ART TRAINING Art-minded students may further their talent by having a choice of many different '-1-'fees in art. such as craft and clay for ' r and commercial for sopho- 'fnd cast and life for rrior decorating 'les of ' on 3 1938 C. x.PX5SES GRADUATES ff X M!

Yet with the help of our president. Herschel O'Shaugh- nessey. vice-president. Marietta Enderle. secretary-treasurer. Thelma Springer, and our social council. Marian Cabler. Anne Tucker, Robert Reese. Helen Hotiman, and Bill Spackman we carried it ott with at least the finesse of sophomores. Ot course we were assisted by our advisors. Miss Marian Ingham and Mr. Robert Dornte. Our extra- curricular life, as a class. was concluded with this one venture into society. Thus we wound up our green year and took on the dignity ot sophomores. When we were sophomores. we waded much deeper into the stream ot extra-cur- ricular activities. though as a class. we were more or less passive. The course of our social year ran smoothly under the guidance ot Ielt Michell, president. Anne Tucker. vice- president. Helen Ashley, secretary-treasurer. and the council, Betty Bitner, Marian Cabler, Page Eighteen Catherine McKay, Betty Raquet, Bill Spack- man, and Robert Reese. We asked Miss Hawkins and Mr. Turpin to oversee our year's work, and they aided in making it a happy one. Suddenly we found ourselves upperclass- men and with becoming dignity, elected Robert Reese, president, Ed O'Rourke, vice- president. Betty Bitner, secretary-treasurer, and as social council Bill Spackman, Marian Cabler, Ieff Michell, lane Masursky, and Bob Kaag. Miss Tonkel and Mr. Wyatt were chosen advisors. Our ability as salesmen really came to the fore, as we sold, in the first cookie sale of Central, 759 dozens of bigger, better, butterscotch cookies. This sale was to finance the greatest social event of our high school careers-the Iunior Prom. How we toiled to make those grapes and vines to transform the boys' gym into a veritable vineyard. It was a most fitting place, too, for stately Dorothy Staley, 1936 prom queen, to crown our diminutive blonde, Betty Bitner, the new queen. The following September, proudly answer- ing to the title seniors , we again chose Miss Tonkel and Mr. Wyatt, sponsors, and Ieff Michell, who had been sophomore president again became chief executive. Bob Reese was elected vice-president, Genevieve Boerger, secretary-treasurer, and our social council was Ieanne Fox, Herschel O'Shaughnessey, Betty Bitner, Betty Fuller. Ed O'Rourke, Mary Farrell, and Mary Hat- tersley. Again we sold those popular but- terscotch cookies. In fact we sold 1,092 dozen of them. Franklin Wallace showed super-salesmanship when he became cham- pion by bringing in orders for seventy-four dozen.' We excel in salesmanship. but by no means are we limited to that. Alta Mae Bolinger, Bob Kaag. Betty Fuller and the other seniors in the senior play cast demon- Page Nineteen strated, very ably, our dramatic ability. In the production The Goose Hangs High the class again achieved a dramatic as well as financial triumph. February l9th brought the Senior Caldron Vodvil. This proved to be another magnifi- cent production, a result of hard work on the part of the senior class and its advisors. We all awaited with bated breath the announcement of best boy and girl citizens and were little surprised but greatly pleased when Betty Bitner and Herschel O'Shaugh- nessey were chosen. Then came the day when we seniors let down our hair for a good time, Kid Day , of course. Short pants and dresses, lollipops and hair ribbons certainly transformed old age into youth. We hardly recognized our classmates: in fact we felt like the shy little freshmen that we were three years before. After four years of work and play we don our caps and gowns for Recognition Day, Iune 3. The master workers are recog- nized for their individual skill and ability in their chosen fields and activities. The grey caps and gowns give our seniors a look of distinction as we proudly march to the Emboyd for Baccalaureate services. Reverend Howard I. Brown of the Forest Park Church delivers the address to the parents and friends of the three-hundred . After the services we assemble at the east door of our Alma Mater for a picture. A feeling of sadness prevails over the usually happy-go-lucky seniors as we realize that this will probably be our last .group picture. The Senior banquet sponsored by the Parent Teachers Association is held at the Wayne Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Iune 6. Our senior activities are brought to a close with the Commencement Dance in the boys' gymnasium, Iune 9, with Ieanne Fox and Phyllis Criswell as co-chairmen.

Once more. Miss Margery Suter directed a play which lived up to her reputation for turning out the finest of presentations in this fascinating art. With poise and versatility, the class of 1938 presented an outstanding performance of Lewis Beach's The Goose Hangs High . Those who trod the boards in this brilliant production will not be soon forgotten. Bob Kaag. taking a leading role as Bernard In- gall. assumed the worries of the father of a family. who has the courage to defy Elliot Kimberley, the city councilman. portrayed by Maurice Snyder. Opposite Kaag. the self-sacrificing mother. Eunice Ingalls. was characterized by Alta Mae Bolinger. The twins upon whom the mother lavishes much of her attention. and who captivate the audience with their col- lege antics. were played by Betty Lyons and Byron Leeth. Betty Fuller won the audience in the stel- lar role of Mrs. Bradley. the grandmother. who. characteristic of her generation. finds it hard to keep up with the speed of the moderns. Providing the heart interest were Marian Cabler as Ianet Carrall and Ieff Michell as lim Ingalls. Completing the family ties were Ann Krugh as Aunt Iulia Murdock: and Harry Prange as Cousin Ronnie. The supporting cast was admirable with Leroy Gerke. Noll Derby. a family friend: Kenneth Fletter. Les Day. a social climber: and Ieanne Daven- port, the maid. The play. a typical American produc- tion. stirred the heart of every person who remembered experiencing like scenes in his own home. Must a father sacrifice his self respect so that his children might finish college? Could he save that respect. or must he give in to the grasping selfishness of current political greed?-Testy old Grand- ma Bradley saves the day, and the play ends happily. Besides the very capable stage crew. the two prompters. Ieanne Davenport and Dolores O'Connor. aided greatly in the suc- cess. Page Thirty CUR CCMMENCEMENT RITUAL syiol-iN REILING For the tenth successive year Central con- tinues her practice of prefacing the com- mencement speaker by a dramatic presenta- tion of the theme of the day. That Lighteth Every Man, the masque to be presented at the Commencement, writ- ten by Mrs. Vera Lane, head of the English department of Central, emphasizes the in- dustrial arts department peculiar to Central. The theme of the masque is the rise of man. The play begins as life is first being in- voked upon the earth. The sun-god is at first enraged at the earth because the earth does not seem to need him. This feeling soon dies, and the sun becomes proud of his power to bring forth life upon the earth. The god of lightning vows to destroy every- thing the sun-god produces. The latter prophesies that man will wrest lightning's secret from him and harness his powers until he is man's servant. Ages pass, plants and animals are domes- ticated, pottery is fashioned, science is born, and man seeks new fields to conquer. Man's victory over the god of lightning is complete: but man, the thinker, is not satis- fied. He has conquered the physical world: he now turns his attention toward the social world. Everywhere are sent welfare workers, reaching and exploring new ways of direct- ing the youth of the world into the proper channels. At this point there enter into the play two young boys. One represents iuvenile de- linquency, and is proud of it, the type to whom the welfare worker applies his social The worker questions the lad technique. and, from his answers, learns that the boy needs guidance, to know about vocational opportunities, and better living conditions. The other lad who represents constructive youth sees what takes place and wishes to know what he can do about iuvenile de- linquency. The worker tells him that he can give social betterment by perfecting the ma- Page Thirty-one DR. JAMES S. THOMAS chine and its management, or with laws for social discipline: or by education through the schools., In so doing he will learn three great principles: collective discipline, each for the betterment of all: collective efficency. skill in one's own work: and collective re- sponsibility, each responsible for his own life. Through the boys' queries we see the light, The true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the wor1d. The speaker, Dr. Iames S. Thomas, realiz- ing the students' need of a healthy attitude towards life as well as a knowledge of facts, then discusses A Youthful Philosophy for Youthful People. Dr. Thomas knows youth well, for he has been a college professor, dean, and presi- dent, as well as a state high school in- spector. I-Ie is now president of the Chrys- ler Institute of Engineering at Detroit, and head of the Clarkson College of Technology at Pottsdam, N. Y.

LABORERS but we soon discovered that we had to wait in line for our turn to come. And how we yearned for the years to roll into the future! Since no class officers were chosen in our freshman year, the first class election was held in the fall of '36. As commanders-in- chief of our tribe we chose Charles Roths- child, president: Kenneth Rice, vice-presi- dent and Theodora Collias, secretary- treasurer. The social council was composed of Iean Iunk, Richard Koenig, Harrison Richardson, Robert Cross, and Mary Frances Lauer. With the aid of the class advisors, Miss McKinnie and Mr. Aldred, our social activi- ties functioned most effectively. Our first class affair, a get-acquainted party, was held on December ll, 1936. The girls' .gymnasium was gay with the tradi- tional Yuletide colors and decorations when the evening's entertainment got under way. It was great fun as well as a successful party. On April ll, the social affair was held in the fonn of a skating party at Bell's Rink. Here everyone including our class advisor, Miss McKinnie, exhibited her talents as a skater. To lead us through the ups and downs of our Iunior year we chose Raymond Heine, president: Charles Rothschild, vice-presi- dent: Theodora Collias, secretary-treasurer. Doris Horn, Gladys Hunt, Russell Buchan, Herbert Knothe, Lois Brower and Betty Pay- ton comprised the social council. Miss Haw- kins and Mr. Cleaver were chosen class advisors. Many of our tribe have followed the long and hard road-the one that leads to honor. Iuniors who succeeded in making the honor roll roster the first semester are Eldon Baker, George Bauermeister, Mary Lou Berkey, Byron Breininger, Richard Chauncy, George Dean, Robert Duell, Clifford Dunten, Bruce Emerson, Burdella Felts, Mary Frazier, Martha Gause, Donald Gebhard, Frances Graft, Daniel Hill, Doris Horn, Betty Ann Klaehn, Mary Frances Lauer, Anita Leonard, Vivian Martin, Lester Mercia, Elda Mertz, Russell Miller, Ieanne Patrick, Charles Roths- child, William Schmidt, William Schmieman, Lena Mae Stephens, Ralph Van Osdale, Fred Wolf, Agnes Yarnelle, Paul Yentes, Leona Zweig. 4 What Mendy would have done without Kenneth Rice, Duke Richardson, Bill Hanley, and Thompson Gaines at the Sectional Tourney-we don't know, but we do know that these boys know their basketball! Watch them next year! Not to be outdone by the boys, Sis Arnold, Helen Walda, Iean Iunk, Olympia Derlo- shon, Lena Mae Stephens, Shirley Stone- cipher, Io Freigy, Bernadette Shearer, Lor- raine Storms, Billie Mae Tate, and Frances Walters are among the many iunior girls who have gone out for afterschool sports. In Central's band and orchestra we find Sara Stettler, Eldon Baker. Barbara Curtis, Betty Payton, Marian Menze, and Ralston Fearneyhough. On the Spotlight staff are Charles Laymon, Leona Zweig, Elda Mertz, and George Koorsen. Ieanne Patrick, Charles Rothschild, Io Freigy. Alberta Bulte- meyer, Mary Przebindowski and Iona Car- ter are members of the Caldron staff. Iuniors who have distinguished them- selves in the public speaking department are: Robert Duell, Melva O'Shaughnessey. Raymond Heine, Ieanette Kellogg, and Lois Brower. The Bunny Fro1ic , our first social event, was held April 7, a tea dance in the girls' -gym. During the intermission of music fur- nished by Deb Giant and his Sophisticated Swingsters, a bunny hunt was featured. The Iunior Prom , our last social event held May 14, vies with senior dances and programs for popularity as it is one of the most anticipated events of the entire spring season. Sarah Stettler chosen prom queen by popular vote by her fellow classmates, was crowned by Raymond Heine, 1938, class president. Page Thu t3 SIX -- fax? Q The theme of the Iunior Prom was inspired by the poem Silver by Walter Le la Mare, which depicts a silvery night. Iust so was the Iunior Prom. The poem describes a dark ni-ght lighted only by the moon which casts a silvery light over everything. This quiet, mysterious, unnatural night which one may picture in the mind appears really to be a Magic Night which all were destined to see on the eventful night of May 14 when a silver queen reigned over the Magic Night . There has been no -general chairman. The individual chairmen selected by the class officers have had equal responsibilities and were responsible to Miss Hawkins and Mr. Cleaver, adviser. The following committees vary somewhat from those originally an- nounced. Every student named in this issue has been a regular worker. Charles Laymon, with his committee of Lenward Calland, Eugene Baker, Dorothy Korn, Mary Prezbindowski and Ieannette Kellogg, designed and made all the posters. They designed all the animals and the vases. Betty Payton, as chairman, and the follow- ing -girls made and attached all the flowers and leaves: Sarah Stettler, Prom Queen: Page Thzrty-seven JUNIORS Left to right: top row-D. Gebhard, S.

Page Thirty-nine 1 DRAFTSMEN---CLASS OF 1940 By WANDA RACINE The senior is praised, the iunior is called down, even the freshman is razzed, but the sophomore is wholly ignored. Tired of this perennial condition, the sophomores are working hard, gathering honors and achiev- ing fame so that the school will always re- member the class of 1940. The sophomores met and conquered their freshman year under the able leadership of Robert Bienz. president: Harold Masursky, vice-president: Dorothy Davies, secretary- treasurer: and Louise Iean, Wanda Racine, Betty Lou Stetter, Robert Nash, Billie Ann Deatrich, Eulalia Burmes, Betty Iames, Byron Doenges, Betty Lou Mentzer, Rosemary Ede- lon, Theodora Bakalar, and Iacqueline Ables, social council. Under the advisorship of Miss Virginia Kinnaird and Mr. Robert Dornte. the class of '40 sponsored a party on February 15 to welcome the incoming freshmen. Games were played, some of the talented members of the class performed their arts, a new freshman song was introduced, and refresh- ments of ice cream and cake were served to more than two hundred freshmen. In the annual Freshman Extemporaneous Contest, the class of '40 was well repre- sented by seven capable freshmen. Com- peting for the prizes were Robert Robertson, Betty Lou Stetter, Wanda Racine, Rose Hess. Iulia Ann Cowan, Adele Iohnson, and Paul Iohns. The iudges chose Rose Hess, whose topic of speech was lmprovements of the Community , as the winner. Many students of the year '40 demon- strated their talents in the annual Vod-Vil. Iulia Ann Cowan and Iean Lemert danced, Bill Latz performed in a humorous skit which took a prize and Iack Grenzenback was one member of a curtain act in which he took the part of a ventriloquist's dummy. This year the sophomores wisely chose for their leaders Harold Masursky, president: Page Forty Byron Doenges. vice-president: Gloria Tem- ple, secretary-treasurer: Iane Ullery. Iulia Ann Cowan.

Many oi the boys have al- ready received their C sweaters tor their outstanding work in sports.

Doro- thy Kroemer. Ieanette Danaher. Betty Stumpi. Maxine Larimer. Angeline Bibbo. Sarah Lud- wig. Pearl Waldron. and Florine Wilkins. The 1938 Senior-Caldron Vod-Vil brought out many pupils of the year '40, who dem- onstrated their talents on the Central stage. Ieanette Danaher entertained by giving a solo tap dance. Iean Lemert and Mary Catherine Hobbs .gracefully did a toe dance. Kathryn Cremean was one part of a duet dance. A group of sophomores from the ac- tive home room 329 presented a comical pantomime.

The sophomore skating party held at Be1l's skating rink March 25, was very suc- cessful as more than 240 people attended. Several attendance prizes, consisting of boxes of candy, theatre tickets, and candy suckers for booby prizes were given away. Harold Masursky was general chairman of the affair, Iulianne Cowan was chairman of the committee who arranged the time and place of the party, and posters were fur- nished by members of the Art Club. Chaperones were Miss Kinnaird and Mr. Fleck. Most students realize that to be a success- ful speaker one must begin early. Conse- quently many sophomores entered the an- nual Sophomore Extemporaneous Speech Contest. After a series of contests in the English classes, twenty winners competed in , Y, , , 7 Wm, , the semi-finals, leaving nine sophomores for the final contest. These were Betty Lou Koenig, Iulia Anne Cowan, Iean Lee, Wanda Racine, Gladys Chaney, Viola Kaiser, Iulia Edwards, Louis Pooler and Louie Perlman. Betty Lou Koenig and Louis Pooler suc- ceeded in tying for first place: Iulia Ann Cowan won second and Viola Kaiser and Iean Lee tied for third in the final contest held in the auditorium, April 20. About ten sophomores made the semester honor roll. They were: Allen Charlton. Dorothy Davies, Paul Gross, Viola Kaiser, Harold Masursky, Louis Pieper, Gloria Belle Temple, Pondo Iack Vlasheff, Ieanette Warner, and Maxine Wass. As Central is a technical school there are more boys than girls-the class of 1940 boasts 315 boys and 219 girls. Miss Kinnaird and Mr. Earle, class ad- visers, have had much experience in leader- ship. Both are prominent in civic and pro- fessional organizations and take active parts in church work.

Whether it's on the chilly football field or crowded basket- ball floor, Central's able leaders. Ieif Michell. Byron Leeth, and Harry Prange. are there with the pep. The boys in their snappy blue and white uniforms will long stay in the memories oi Central fans. The man who for many years has trained Central boys to be champions, and who is the ideal of every boy who comes in con- tact with him is our coach, Murray Menden- hall. Assisting Mendy is Bob Dornte. a Central graduate. who was an all around athlete and blanket man under Mendy's direction. Page Fifty two Top left-Gaines puts the shot. Top right-Iahn clears the bar.

Mr. Charles Turpin, tennis coach. sched- uled matches with Decatur. Bluffton. Con- cordia College. Concordia High. North Side.

Bill Bauerrneister, Irving Latz. Dean Reese. lack Pio, and Kenneth Fletter. Of these only Latz and Koegel were graduated in 1937: con- sequently because of so many men return- ing to Central Mr. Turpin expects Central's 1938 Tennis team to be even more suc- cessful.

Stanski and Dunlap Page Fifty three leading the way the Central Tigers ended a mediocre track season. Due to the fact that not one man on the squad possessed varsity experience the Bengals strove unsuccessfully for a winning campaign. Tony Stanski was the only con- sistent performer winning a brilliant half- mile in every meet. The Tigers swamped the Garrett Railroad- ers in their initial game and then lost to Marion and Muncie on succeeding Satur- days. The Tigers placed third in the Annual N.E.1.C. meet, third in the City Meet and qualified Tony Stanski for the state tourna- ment. The '38 track campaign is expected to be somewhat of a success with Coach Menden- hall placing his hopes on the following per- formers: Yarman. Gaines. and Talley in the dashes. Hanley. Celarek. Lantz. and Kite in the longer and more gruelling runs with Kulesza. Kite. and others expected to take care of the field events. THE GRIDIRON CALLS Paced and led throughout the season by such fine men as Hanley, Celarek, Yarman. Gaines, Huth. Tyler, Richardson, Henderson, Iahn, Rice, Tally, Doelling, and others who filled in the gaps of graduation, the 1937 foot- ball campaign loomed on the athletic hori- zon as a successful beginning of a new year. Faced with the loss of such fine men as Lloyd Altekruse, Tom Salmon, Paul Bengs, Mike Hanchar, Dan Bourne, A1 Russell, Ed Miller, Iack Paul, Irving Latz, Emmet Bog- don, Morris Owens, Ray Brown, and Tony Stanski, Coaches Murray Mendenhall and Robert Dornte were confronted with a real problem in developing a squad capable of turning in another good record for the down- town school. However, the turn-out of over sixty boys for early practice brightened the athletic horizon a great deal as the Tigers turned in an unusually fine record. In the first tilt Bluffton Tigers went down in defeat as a reiuvenated, scrappy band of Bengals crossed the payoff stripe twice in the initial period with Yarman and Iahn alternating carrying the ball. Yarman passed for extra point and the Tiger reserves played the remainder of the game holding the speedy Bluffton eleven in their own territory. Elkhart's Blue Blazers outweighing, out- classing, and outspeeding, the Bengals won easily by an overwhelming score of 26 to 0. The Tigers battled throughout the game but the lack of weight was undoubtedly the de- ciding factor. The fighting Irish of Central Catholic were favored by many to upset the Battling Ben- gals but with Yarman, Lantz, and Iahn lugging the pigskin the Tigers outpassed and outspeeded the C. C. eleven to emerge as victor with the score 21 to 6. Decatur's Yellow Iackets were swamped by the Tigers by the score of 39 to 0. Hanley combined good passing with plunging to pace the Tigers' attack. Wickliffe, Teagar- den, Lantz, Yarman, and Kulesza aided ad- mirably. The Central line displayed much power as they continually smothered the running attack of the Yellow Iackets. Favored by many to be State Champs the Redskins of North Side combined good de- fensive ability with excellent offensive power, to beat out the Tigers 27 to 13. The final score didn't mean much in this game as the Bengals virtually played even the Nulfmen. It was a bruising affair with no quarter given by either side and the Tigers paced by Bill Hanley and their small scrappy line put up an exhibition of gridiron technique. A moral victory indeed for the weight and experience was again the deciding factor. Auburns' Red Devils found the running and ramming power of the Bengals too much for them as they went down in defeat to the tune of 25 to 6 in a hard fought game played at the northern city. Yarman, Shrimp. Iahn, Lantz, and Tally counted for the Bengals as the small Central line repulsed all attacks of the Auburn forwards. Columbia City's much touted Eagles threw a scare into the Tiger camp when they scored the initial touchdown. However, the varsity coming into the tilt in the fourth quar- ter took things completely in control and paced by Lantz, Yarman, Hanley, and their small courageous line swamped the Eagles overwhelmingly to the tune of 24 to 13. The Archers of South Side were very much surprised when a small speedster by the name of Ray Yarman ran their ends, passed their backfield dizzy, and played brilliantly on defense to aid in swamping the Kelly Klads by the score of 26 to 6. Page Fifty four Battling Bengal Brothers, Ioe and Frank Celarek stood out on the line to make the victory more decisive, Yarman's brilliant passing was the deciding factor in the fast and tough tilt and when he was taken out in the fourth quarter because of an iniury. both cheering sections gave him a rousing. much deserved cheer. Because of his fine efforts Ray Yarman was elected captain of the 1937 squad, and he and Frank Celarek were both placed on the official All City Team which was monopolized by North Side Redskins. Winning six of eight tilts the Tigers showed great sportsmanship, fine spirit, and cr will- ingness to work. all of which will never be forgotten by Fort Wayne followers. Seniors on the team include Yarman. Lantz, Huth. Ioe and Frank Celarek. Iahn. Bohde, Langas, Storms, while the underclassmen who will bear the brunt of the attack next year are Ed Langas, Arnold, Lewandowski. Rice. Hanley, Gaines, Richardson. Doelling. Kauf- man, Kulesza, and Talley.

In their opening game on November 23. the Tigers traveled to Anderson where they lost the preliminary game. The Muncie Bear- cats were their next foes and defeated our squad in a thrilling game. 31-29. In a contest which resembled a football game. North Side's Rampaging Redskins edged a two-point victory over Central's Tigers by the score of 26-24. Led by Hanley and Frank Celarek. the Bengals showed de- cided improvement. The Cubs consoled us. however, by defeating the North Side Pa- pooses. 32-25. In their fourth game. the Bengals were re- pelled by the deadly sharpshooting of the Columbia City Eagles. 31-19. Then on Decem- ber 19. the Blue Boys staved off a last- minute Kendallville rally and defeated the Comets. 33-31. Kulesza. Hanley. and Huth led the Bengals' first victory in five starts. scoring a large maiority of the Tiger points. Adding to the victory was the Reserves' 28- 24 win over the Comets' Seconds. Central Catholic was Central's second city opponent and also the second victim of the Bengal five. score: 32-22. Not only the score. but their teamwork and scoring ability re- vealed the rapidly developing technique of the Tiger squad. Hopes were increasing. Most of our hopes faded. however. when we lost to Kokomo in the next game. The final score of 28-26 shows that our team was not easily subdued. Travelling to Auburn during Christmas va- cation. the Bengals lost to the Red Devils by a score of 28-22. despite the brilliant scoring of Kulesza. Hartford City was the next to oppose our Baltlin' Bengals and after an overtime battle. fell before the Tigers. 37-33. Decatur and Bluffton also lost to Central by scores of 53-23 and 28-15 respectively. Mendy. Bob. and the boys spent the next week preparing for the oncoming South Side game. which. despite the heroic efforts of our team. resulted in a most disappointing loss. 41-36. The following Huntington and Vincennes games were both happy and sad affairs. The Vikings bowed to Central. 30-37. but the Alices of Old Vincennes refused to bow and sent the Tiger Quintet off. losers of a 37-28 battle. In the next city-series battle. North Side set the Tigers back by a 44-27 score. Cen- tral of South Bend followed suit in the next Bengal encounter and. with a 40-28 final count. added another loss to Central's total. One more drop was added to the bitter cup of defeat in the following week. when South Side's Archers edged over a thrilling two-point victory. 30-28. Yarman and Shep- hard played an outstanding brand of ball for the Bengals in spite of the loss. The regular season was concluded with two losses at the hands of Elkhart. 37-15 and Marion. 23-18. With the approach of the Sectional Tour- nament the Central student body became victory-conscious. and there was much talk of the probability of Central's repeating the surprising tournament showing of the 1936 team. Few of us saw the boys during that time. for they were preparing for the tough competition ahead. When it came time for the actual participation. our team was a re- iuvenated band of Battlin' Bengals. By subduing Woodburn on Friday morning and the New Haven Bulldogs that evening in Page F i fty-eight grand manner, the Fighting Tigers earned a right to oppose North Side Saturday after- noon. That afternoon the Central Quintet came out on the floor, with two defeats at the hands of the Redskins in mind, definitely re- solved not to let history repeat itself. The convincing score of 43-30 shows that the Tigers were successful. Hardly a true Centralite exists who doesn't know the results of that final game against the State Champions-to-be. How the Tigers, led by Frank Celarek and George Lantz fought with undying courage, but to no avail! Central lost that game 23-15. South Side's 8-point margin of victory seems very small when compared to what a great trib- ute the five performance of our boys was to Central School Spirit. They've lost the battle, All hopes are gone, But their undying spirit Still lives on! SEASON RECORD Nov. 23-Central 28, Anderson 40. Nov. 23-Central 29, Muncie 31. Dec. 3-Central 24, North Side 26.

It may rightly be called a training camp. But what of all those students who are not selected to play on the varsity? That is the other aspect of Intramurals and the most im- portant by far. These players who number about 200 receive the same value from their competition as the other more fortunate par- ticipants even though they don't make var- sity positions. That is the real value of In- tramural Sports, for they institute the prin- ciples of sportsmanship, co-operation and fair play in those players who would not be able to gain such qualities otherwise. The first call for all persons interested in Intramural Basketball was issued by Bob Dornte on Monday, October 11. The same week thirteen teams registered and after a second call on October 27, this number was increased to thirty-two. That same week the first half got under way and, after six rounds of thrilling play, was climaxed by the elim- inations on November 9 and 10. All of the thirty-two teams participated in these'elim- inations: sixteen in the Midget League and sixteen in the Senior League. As a result of these exciting contests, the Red Devils were crowned champions of the Senior League and the Blue Blazers topped the Midgets. After conclusion of the second half, the Red Devils were able to repeat their fine performance in winning the All-Star Crown by defeating the Ohio's in the final game. In the Midget and Senior Leagues, however, two new champions were crowned, the Blue Aces and Blue lays, respectively. As a final topping to this successful sea- son, a combination playoff tournament was held among all the teams regardless of league. This was the final act and a very thrilling one at that. The Red Devils en- tered competition as favorites, but they were surprisingly upset in the final game by the dark-horse Cream Puff team by the score of 32-19. In this last game Schrimp, Penkul, and Marquette were the outstanding players. So ended a favorable intramural season. Page Sixty two 1938 GIRLS' SPORTS 9 X 3 :, ' ug ' 'f ft We 'MR A wk 5 ww ?

ATHLETIC FEMMES By ADELMA MARTIN and ALICE MUDD A shout, and the iuniors had twenty- one points to finish the final game of the volleyball tournament. Every year the Central girls have tournaments in volleyball, speedball, and basketball. The seniors like to win, but this year the iuniors were iust too tough: they couldn't miss that ball. Wait until the speedball tournament. was the phrase on every senior's lips after this dis- heartening beginning of the new year in sports. Finally the speedball tournament was at hand. The winning game was to be decided by the game between the iuniors and the seniors. This was one tournament that the seniors were determined to win. lt was an exciting game. The seniors won and the iuniors had a hard time tryin-g to enioy life for some time. Although the iuniors had Billy Mae Tate and Sis Arnold. the two best and most skilled players in school, the seniors had Margaret Rus- sell and Anne Tucker to back them up. This evened the score and now they began to hope for the basketball tourna- ment. The class who beat this tourna- ment would have a chance to have its numerals put on the Koerber cup. But the upper classmen were too sure of themselves and the freshmen and sophomores almost showed them up. The sophomores. freshmen and iuniors won two games apiece. For this rea- son these three teams had to play their games again. It was another close tournament, with the outcome based on the last game. If the freshmen lost. the sophomores would win the tourna- Page gl tty our ment. and if the sophomores lost, the iuniors would win. A large crowd came to the game, each in high spirits for her class team. At the very last min- ute the sophomores won the game and the cup for this year. Sore limbs and strained muscles ushered in the long-awaited, long- dreaded tumbling. In all corners of the gym, girls were standing on their heads or trying to, doing hand springs, and many other queer contortions of the body. To those who are a bit lax in their morning dai1y dozen. this time is the worst in the entire gym routine. All types of builds come in for plenty of work in tumbling. The tall Amazonian girls with large muscles generally support the smaller girls in doing the stunts. Miss Adams tries her best to see how many different kinds of stunts she can find for her tumblers to do after school. Immediately after tumblin-g, comes tap dancing. Nearly all the students really enioy this phase of gym work. Miss Ingham cuts the most dashing figure as she takes her place before the class, in trim blue shorts and a white shirt. To the tune of shuffle, slap, step, the girls go through their routines. As spring advances, so does base- ball. Many students who had been en- ioying gym begin to groan and moan about going out into the fresh air. They do not seem to understand that fresh air is necessary for good health. Many students are sure that a shiner or broken bones will land them in the hospital or morgue iust as pleasant weather is coming. Then iust as all hope of enioying life again is gone, Page Swcly fue SPEEDBALL CLASS TEAMS Top to bottom-Senior, Iunior, Sophomore, Freshman A Hard Eamed C For the first few days of the agility tests, nothing but moans can be heard. These gymnastics are real- ly tests and show a girl's ability to be able to ac- complish them: the accu- rate eye for the basketball free throws with five tries, traveling on rings, the stick tests, the baseball pitch and every sort of a test to be thought of. Every test that is completed the girl receives points and to get a passing grade, she must earn a definite num- ber. One of the happiest events for any girl out for sports is the day when she receives her letter after having made 700 hard earned points. She has the chance to make these points by going out for volleyball, speedball, basketball, swimming, tumbling, tap and base- ball. The highest honor to receive is a sweater with a special C . This is given to three girls who have the highest number of points in their four years of sports. It Really Limbers Them Up Page Szxty szx tennis starts. Although this is iust a brief period of -gym curriculum, it is one of the sports most enioyed by everyone. Late in April the girls give an exhibi- tion, which includes all the different class activities. About four hundred girls take part in an evening program to which every girl and her parents look forward. The boys' gym is al- ways the scene of this entertainment before a crowd of nearly a thousand people. The appearance of the 400 girls in their -gym suits filling the floor in the grand march makes an effective opener. There are folk dances in bright colored costumes. tap dances in trim shorts or sports clothes, and dainty little girls in the natural dance number. Sports, games, and relays appeal to many and the tumblers have a most unique and interesting program, almost professional in their skill. One freshman, Betty Matthews, displayed wonderful form and talent by diving over 14 girls. The last get-to-gether the girls have is the banquet held the latter part of May at the Y.W.C.A. where many former athletes and the present ones have cz real discussion as to who was high point or best pitcher and which girl showed the best attitude. The offi- cers comprised the committee for the banquet with Dorothy Hartman acting as chairman. The theme this year is personalities, with drawings for place cards illustrating the characters. The mothers of the girls who wish to come have been invited. Page Sixty seven BASKETBALL CLASS TEAMS Top to bottom-Senior, Iunior. Sophomore. Freshman ll Pretty Girls Another part of the an- nual girls' gym exhibition was the tumbling which always proves to be the most popular act. Here is shown a pinwheel pyra- mid. In the distance-diving in the 1938 exhibition. Betty Mathews sent thrills through the crowd when she dived over eleven girls to set a new record for this stunt. Handsprings. flips, headstands, and bar- relrolls. feature the tum- bling program. These small fairy-like girls danced with a grace and rhythm of movement which was perfected in their gymnasium classes. Their pastel colored sheer dresses with floating ruf- fles along with their circu- lar formations resembled a flower. This unusual camera shot shows the flower effect as the gay nymphs danced. a circle within a circle. The beauty and spirit of freedom ex- pressed in their dances gave an idea of the nat- ural dancing that is popu- lar on the stage today.

By ANNE TUCKER Another eventful year may be recorded for the oldest high school club in Fort Wayne, the Mathematics Club, founded in 1913 by D. W. Werremeyer. At the first program of the year Miss Mary E. Gardner told of her trip to California and explained the mathematical construction of the San Francisco Bay Bridges. In November, I. R. Iones demonstrated cal- culating machines, showing how simply dif- ficult problems can be solved by addition. subtraction, multiplication, and division. The December meeting, the 24th anni- versary, the club celebrated with a huge birthday cake with 24 red candles. The long BIRTHDAY PARTY Left to right-M. Rittenhouse, M. Franke, M. Snyder, D. Koenig, L. Gerke. G. Reed. but interesting club history was reviewed by Marie Rittenhouse. She also exhibited the club's trophy, awarded each year to the student having the highest scholastic records in four years' study of mathematics. Two winners of the trophy, Felix Zweig and Robert Smith, have also won the Griffin Me- morial Scholarship and are now attending Yale University. ' At a skating party in February students had a good time, falls and all. In March, the principal speaker was Mr. Gerald Mid- dau-gh, president of the Math Club in 1924. Mr. Middaugh is a graduate of Purdue Uni- versity and is now a civil engineer with the Western Gas Company. The annual picnic held in May at Foster Park was the crown- ing event of the year. A treasure hunt with directions in mathematical symbols, ball games, races, and contests iilled the after- noon. The officers for the first semester were president, Leroy Gerke: vice-president, Anne Tucker: secretary, Marie Franke: treasurer, Dick Koenig. For the second semester, presi- dent, Max Buckmaster: vice-president, Elda Mertz: secretary. lean Bergquist: treasurer, Robert Duell. The club advisors are Mary E.

ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE By BETTY HILLMAN All the world's a stage. said Iaques in As You Like lt. and the Student Players' Club has certainly proved that statement at Central. Amid the hub-bub of activities. this club of fifty students. has. under the capable direction of Miss Margery Suter. presented several stage successes. At the first meet- ing of the year. officers chosen were: Robert Kaag. president: Byron Leeth. vice-president: Betty Hillman. secretary-treasurer. Com- mittees were chosen for first semester pro- grams. In October. the annual one-act plays were presented. a tragedy showing effects of un- employment. and a comedy. a conflict be- tween a professor and his soul. In the trag- edy. Laid Off. roles were portrayed by Betty F uller. Raymond Heine, Betty Hillman. Richard Butler. Leroy Gerke. Edwin Falk and others who made up the mob. Maurice Snyder. Ieff Michell. Ann Krugh. Byron Leeth. Robert Kaag. Mary Farrell. Marie Ritten- house. and Marian Cabler appeared in The Soul of the Professor. At the November meeting. the committee Edwin Falk. chairman: Lois Brower.

VAGABOND SPECIAL By BLANCHE CLINE Our travelers see the wonders of Egypt, England and frozen Alaska, but strangely enough they seldom leave Room 337. Very few students have an opportunity to travel, so speakers and slides help to satisfy their thirst for travel. Many of them become in- spired to travel and observe the world after they leave high school. The Vagabond Club was organized in 1932 and under the careful advisory of Miss Smeltzly and Miss Thomas it has grown to be one of the most prominent clubs at Cen- tral. The officers chosen for the fall semes- ter were Robert Cunningham, president: Genevieve Boerger, vice-president: Eleanor Hostler. secretary: and Blanche Cline, treas- urer. Each year a travel trophy is awarded to the person who writes the best account of his recent travels. Students do not neces- sarily have to travel a long way, but they must write an interesting article. Ioyce Lord was presented with the trophy last year. Many interesting programs have been presented this year. At the first meeting members related their summer experiences. Courtland Anderburg, an ex-Vagabond, sketched his Navy travels: Miss Thomas described her experiences in New York and Miss Smeltzly gave an interesting synopsis of her travels in China and Iapan. Miss Rehorst of South Side High School talked of her experiences in Labrador at the October meeting. The members were conducted through the Fort Wayne Historical Museum by Mr. Cherry at the November meeting. Genevieve Boerger presented five books to the bookshelf at the potluck in December. Miss Smeltzly of South Side gave a very in- teresting lecture with the Christmas pictures that were shown. The annual skating party was held Ianuary 22 at Bell's Rink. The students always look forward to this event with great enthusiasm. Through our con- nection with the International Correspond- ence Group under the leadership of Mrs. Alice Wilson, we sent letters and pictures of Fort Wayne to the exhibit in Paris. Some of the members are corresponding regularly with boys or girls of foreign countries and many of their letters are read at the monthly meetings. Each year at Thanksgiving a basket is given to some needy party. Each member brings a contribution of food which is not perishable. The basket was given to the Wheatley Social Center in 1937. The elected officers for the spring semester were Burdella F elts, president: Marie Franke, vice-president: Helen Masloob, secretary, and Robert lmmel, treasurer.

CENTRAL GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION By ADELMA MARTIN September 30, 1937 Dear Diary: We had our first meeting of the Central Girls' Athletic Association. Thirty of us went out to Foster Park in a truck for our fall wiener bake. We played a few games. Some of the girls waded across the river and, of course. one had to fall in, but everybody had a good time. Before we were allowed to eat, we had to hustle some wood for the fire. Besides wieners we had marshmallows, apples, and cookies. In our business meeting, which followed. we planned the year's pro- gram: a pep-session, a Christmas dance after a basket- ball game. a Christmas party, and our annual banquet. A few of the 1937 class came to this meeting and enioyed being with the crowd again. November 28, 1937. Our Halloween party was a grand success. The quaintest of costumes were worn by the members. The games were interesting and kept us busy until 5 o'clock. December 22, 1937. I have neglected you so I will tell you about our Christmas party. Santa Claus was too busy to come so we had to receive our gifts from the committee girls. We had a wonderful crowd and everyone had a good lime. for the gym was decorated and the floor-show was a success. A Ianuury 21, 1938. Yesterday we went to North Side for our annual play-day. The girls there were a lot of fun and they all worked together to make it a grand success. We played basketball, went swimming, and had relays. Then we had lunch in the cafeteria. Afterwards each school put on a little skit. I think that ours was the funniest as we gave an Our Gang Comedy. Our next meeting will be unique as we are going to have Mr. Franke, a blind man, and his Seeing-Eye dog. Page Seventy-three Each member is allowed to bring a guest so we will have a large crowd. After his talk we will have re- treshments. April 25, 1938. Our exhibition is going to be a grand success. The tickets are going fast. It is to be next Friday night in the Boys' Gym. There will be folk and tap dancing. tumbling, basketball and baseball, games and relays. May 18, 1938. Our banquet is May 23 this year and everyone is getting excited as the time approaches. It is to be held at Y.W.C.A. with many interesting and prominent peo- ple there. New officers will be announced and the winner of the Hardiek Trophy will be made known. This really is the nicest meeting of the year-one of the best banquets of the whole school. So we conclude the C.G.A.A. meetings for another year.

CAESA.R'S DESCENDANTS---THE ARGONAUTS The Argonauts of Central High School are not engaging in a quest for a golden fleece: instead they are searching for a better knowledge of Latin, the ancient classical language which lives forever. These mod- ern Argonauts are members of the Latin Club at Central, who at each meeting have in- teresting talks, plays, or Latin games. Any- one who has had two years of Latin or is taking the subiect now is invited to become a participant in these quests. The three advisors who guide the Argon- auts are the Misses Harrah, Lucasse, and McKinnie. Next in command are the club's officers: for the first semester first consul. Harold Patterson: second consul, Marie Franke, and quaestor-scriba, Dorothy Da- vies. For the second semester were: first consul, Mariorie Burns, second consul, Ne- well Cunningham: and quaestor-scriba, Betty Lou Koenig. Among various programs presented. one of the most interesting and amusing was a play, A Trip Through Roman History. given by Burdella Felts, Bill Latz, Betty Hill- man, Fred Wolf, and Iim Bond. The mem- bers of the cast combined initiative with humor to produce a play which was thor- oughly enioyed. An informative talk about Octavius, better known as Augustus Caesar, the first Emperor of Rome. was given by Mr. Ashley, one of our history teachers. Other entertainments of song, dancing, and dia- logues have been presented, and an orig- inal play, The Life Tragedy of Romulus and Remus was given. The characters were Bill Latz, Tom O'Rourke, Harold Masursky. Virginia Robinson, Byron Doenges, Harold Patterson, and Fred Wolf. The play humor- ously presented the life of Romulus and Re- mus irom the time they were abandoned by their wicked uncle until Romulus killed his brother and named the city of the Seven Hills after himself. At another meeting pic- ture slides concerning Roman life were shown by Charles Rothschild and Harold Masursky accompanied by Miss Harrah's explantions. During March, twenty-six new members were acquired by means of a membership drive held in the form of a contest between the B1ues. headed by Marion Snider, and the Whites, with Paul Gross as leader. The Blues won the contest, havin-g gained twenty of the twenty-six new members. It was agreed that the losing side should hold a party with the winners as guests and Rivah Hassan. the individual winner. re- ceived a box of candy. One of the outstanding social events oi the club was a skating party midst thrills and spills held at Bell's rink on April 1. at- tended by many of the members and their friends.

Students can make high scholastic records if given enough incentive. The sixty stu- dents in the Honor Society have proved that it can be done, for each made the honor roll the previous semester with no mark lower than a B. These students are the backbone of Central's scholastic work. By constant application and study, they are able to re- main where they are-at the top. Election of officers was the main feature of the initial meeting of the society in Oc- tober. The officers elected were: Salem Sha- heen, president: Burdella Felts, vice-presi- dent: and Gloria Temple, secretary-treasurer. At this meeting, it was announced that the society would hereafter meet the second Wednesday ot the month, instead of the first, as in previous years. Miss Mary Har- rah and Mr. R. K. Butler again kindly con- sented to act as advisors to the organization. At the second meeting in 1937. Mr. Coil of our English Department gave two excel- lent reading, The List in Humors. and Do They Miss Me at Home? Mr. W. W. White. Page Seuentyefive another member of our faculty, gave a chalk talk illustrating the curve of monotony, the curve of force, and the curve of beauty. At the close of his talk, with the request of the audience, he drew a landscape. Lobbying in Indiana Le-gislature was dis- cussed by Mr. Robert Wyatt. President of the Indiana Teachers' Federation. A novel feature was the visit made by the club to the Federal Court, where the stu- dents were allowed to watch a trial in action. This was unusual because young people are not. as a rule, permitted to watch these proceedings. At the beginning of the second semester. the officers turned over the helm to a new group of leaders. Mary Farrell assumed charge as president: Fred Wolf as vice-presi- dent, and Mary Masloob as secretary- treasurer. Present members of the society have proved that it can be done. They move forward with the passing of time and leave their places in this honor group vacant for the future students who will also show it can be done. BOOSTERS Lett to right: lst row-H. Prange, B.

BUSY BEE BOOSTERS Since the aim of many ambitious Cen- tralites is to make the Booster Club, the an- nouncement of the selections for the coming year are eagerly awaited. So, in May oi 1937, about sixty-five deserving Central stu- dents were chosen to make up the Booster Club for the next year. One or two students are chosen from each class and school or- ganization. Artists, actors, honor-students. construction boys, and many others combine to make up this assorted, but well-organized group of Central Boosters. At the first meet- ing of the year, Bill Spackman was elected chairman, and he appointed Mary Farrell secretary. In preparation for the football season, the Boosters really began to work. They made shakers, streamers, rosettes, and bows to decorate the fans, and streamers to festoon the goal posts. Proving themselves adept contortionists, they managed to sell candy. peanuts, tafiy apples, and gum, even while cheering the team on to victory in both foot- ball and basketball. At the annual banquet each member was required to give a speech and Marian Cab- ler. dressed as a seeress. drew numbers for the members' speeches, which were cut off when the chairman lowered a bright red flag. The annual Tiger mixer featured tiger-head ships sailing around a blue sea. an effective setting produced by the two chairmen, Catherine McKay and Herschel O'Shaughnessey, and their very capable committees. At the Valentine pep session, Booster girls, dressed as farmers in bright red overalls, distributed to Mr. Dilts, business manager. coaches Mendenhall and Donate, Mr. Cron- inger, principal, Miss Brigham, and Mr. Ab- bett. as well as to the boys on the basketball team, heart-shaped boxes of candy. April 2, the annual Tiger Hop with the theme of Harbor Lights was presented in the boys' Page Seventy snx gym, with Mary Hattersley as general chair- man. The dance was featured by a light- house with a revolving beam against cr background of city buildings. The members of our basketball teams were guests at the Hop. At this time, we are looking forward to a wonderful time at the annual all-day private picnic, held at one of our nearby lakes. with our advisor, Miss Mildred Brig- ham, in charge. We all look forward to a good sunburn and a cool swim to climax the Booster year. BOOSTERS AT WORK Want a bow? ..... Time out between halves The annual bonfire Tiger Hop . . . . .

By MARGARET WEINTRITT As personality is one aim oi the Friend- ship Club of fifty iunior and senior girls. Genevieve Boerger led an interesting dis- cussion on How to get along with people. The girls also profited from a helpful talk by Mr. Virts on My Philosophy of Life. This year the girls contributed money for the transportation of a cripple girl to the Y.W.C.A. so that she could take swimming lessons. At Thanksgiving they gave a large THANKSGIVING PARTY Standing, left to right-D. Kramer, D. Schmidt, B. Davis. P. Cramer, M. Lindeman, L. Mattes, Margaret Lemke. Seated- Miriam Lemke, R.

At Christmas the club bought toys and wearing apparel for a needy family. Christ- mas celebrations in other countries were shown by the committee in charge of that meeting. Sixteen girls. each dressed to rep- resent a country in history. Presented offer- ings typical of their countries. Members hemmed towels tor the Needlework Guild. sometimes sewing fingers instead of towels. Since girls are interested in clothes, Betty Davis put on a style show. The maior social affair. a skating party, proved fun for all stu- dents and put money in the club treasury. The officers were: V. Cleveland, B. Davis. president: G. Boerger, treasurer: E. Hostler. V. Cleveland. secretary: Betty Fuller. lreta Exner, Helen Masloob. Norma Exner, Anne Tucker. Betty Davis, Iune Cox. Margaret Weintritt, Velma Koorsen, Phyllis Cramer.

ONWARD AND UPWARD By RUTH COTTINGHAM The symbol of friendship is the Central Triangle Club, promoters of good will, good morals, and habits of helpfulness. The outstanding features of the year 1937- 38 were: The fashion show in which Wanda Racine. president. and the cabinet members participated, while Betty Mentzer, music chairman, supplied the music. with Ann Krugh as style commentator. At the Hallow- een party prizes for the prettiest and most grotesque costumes were given. Miss Iack- son was a gypsy fortune teller. At initiation, every girl held a lighted candle in the dark room like a candle of knowledge in the black emptiness of ignorance. Next a per- sonality play, Right This Way Ladies, the actresses in which were M. Baumbau-gh, D. Hesse. I. McHenry, I. Burtnett. B. Stetter, M. Mohr, and G. Temple, was given. Decem- ber 16. at the annual Christmas Party. a pro- gram of dancing by I. Lemert, singing by M. Iohnson and R. Cottingham. and acro- batics by G. Stahl were given. As usual Christmas Carols were sung and then re- freshments. carrying out the red and green of Christmas. were served. Girls running about madly hunting, begging, and borrowing the things needed, typified the Scavenger hunt. There was a Valentine Party, and then came a potluck supper. In May the girls served a lovely tea at the Y.W.C.A. with their moth- ers as honor guests. Page Seventy-nine The Central Triangle Club also did many charitable deeds such as hemming squares for the Needlework Guild, giving Thanks- giving and Christmas baskets to the needy, distributing flowers on May Day. Each member of the cabinet was assigned to take care of one meeting and to choose her own committees. Officers were W. Racine, president: B. Fix, vice-president: R. Cottingham. secretary: I. Lemert, treasurer, the first semester. and for second were: B. Chilcote, president: G. Temple, vice-president: V. Schnepp, secre- tary: V. Hoffman, treasurer. The success of our activities has been pos- sible by the guidance of Miss Iackson and Miss Austin. Halloween Party Hi-Y- Leit to right: lst row--R. Cunningham, R. Van Camp, R. Stumpf, B. Leeth, V.

So it is every Monday night after school as a final round-up for one of the most popular clubs at Central. Many prominent men have been included as speakers in the 1937-1938 year. Mr. Cron- inger told us boys how we can lead success- ful lives. Bruff Cleary previewed the World Series: another sportsman, Iohn Levicki, new coach at Central Catholic High School, spoke on football and Knute Rockne, the famous Notre Dame mentor. Iohn Hackett, sports announcer over WOWO and WGL, dis- cussed broadcasting sports. Rev. W. N. Vin- cent, a former prison chaplin discussed prison life. Sergeant Dunifon of our City police department, speaking on safety, gave statistics on automobile accidents of the past year. Mr. Earle, one of Central's newer teachers, gave an inspirational talk on sportsmanship. The club held a wiener bake in October in Harry Prange's cottage fifteen miles north of I-'ort Wayne on the St. Ioseph River. Danc- ing, hiking, and games followed the bake. After the bonfire the night before the South Side football game, the Victory Hop was presented in the girls' gym. A floor show, featuring acrobatic dancing by Mary Am- ber Wolf and Bernadette Shearer, and the new amplifier for dance ,music were the main attractions. Before Christmas, a Boy and Girl party was held at the Y.M.C.A. The program was featured by Sid Stearns' magic. The girls excelled at pool, ping pong, and checkers. The club basketball team played other teams of the city. During Christmas vaca- tion the Central, North Side, and South Side Hi-Y clubs played in the basketball tourna- ment at the Y.M.C.A., North Side winning.

FROM HFLAMING YOUTH TO GLOWING CITIZENSHIP By BYRON DOENGES Central Torch Club, iunior division of the Hi-Y. is a popular boys' club for freshmen and sophomores. having a membership of forty-three. The purpose of the club is to create. maintain. and extend to all boys an opportunity for clean sports and living. and for meeting leaders of our social, scientific. and industrial world. Meetings are held every Tuesday night at 7:30 o'c1ock at the Speakers. discus- sions, industrial hikes. and informal parties make up the programs.

H OUR BOOK-WORMS ON DUTY Seven forty-five a. m. and the doors of the busiest room in Central unlock to admit the ever-flowing stream of book lovers. Every nook cmd cornervof the library is filled with inquiring figures nose-deep in printed pages. Eager helpers stand behind the wide semi- circle desk stamping outgoing books and stacking returned books. The clock on the wall registers 8:00 and every student hurried- ly selects his book and takes his place in the line before Helen Ward or Delores Ferckel, who charge and stamp each book. Everett Ehle patiently stacks in definite piles according to the classification number the returned books that are properly stamped. Library helpers are of invaluable service during all periods of the day. The first period Mariory Burns cards all fiction books and writes overdues. Betty Hillman takes at- tendance and finishes writing overdues. Iames Hirschy cards the books classified from 100 to 800, while Sidney Smith cards the history books. The boys arrange the books in their proper places on the library shelves. Mariorie Miller. Margaret Weintritt, Vir- ginia Hess, and Madelon Tracey serve as helpers the second, third, sixth, and seventh periods respectively. After the seventh period the library re- sumes the bustle of the early morning. Every shelf is scanned by anxious eyes in an attempt to secure a book quickly and to be gone. Viola Kaiser, Gloria Temple. Helen Arnold, and Virginia Fultz take turns after school at the desk, stamping books and filing the day's circulation. Carl Browning stands at the door. Iames Walper cards books and straightens the shelves. At 4:00 the library day is over. The books are all snuggled neatly in their correct order. And from 4:00 p. m. until 7:45 a. m. Central's busiest room is stilled and empty. The Library Service Group has for its motto, That we may serve. From morning until evening of the school they are there to live up to their motto. But it does not mean all work and no play! Each semester Miss Beierlein entertains her group with two so- cial meetings, last semester with a Hallow- een party and a Christmas celebration, this. an Alphabet party and a Theatre party. The officers for this year are Margaret Weintritt, president, and Mariorie Burns. secretary. Page Ezghty two INDIANA CLUB Left to right: lst row-M. Lemke, M. Lemke, M. Larimer, A. Leonard, H.

DELVERS IN OLD INDIANA By IONA CARTER In 1934, Mr. Richardson, realizing that too many Hoosiers knew too little about their own state, founded the Indiana Club which is now a member of the Indiana Historical Society. The pro-grams of the year were all based on interesting features of old and new In- diana. Mr. Ashley. a teacher at Central, gave a talk on Early Life in Central In- diana, explaining the hard life the pioneers lived. Mr. Coil, also a teacher at Central, read several poems by Iames Wihitcomb Riley. giving us his version of how Riley meant to have his poems interpreted. Mr. Richardson gave a talk on the Wabash-Erie Canal, telling how it was started at Toledo, Ohio, and coming down through Fort Wayne passed on to Huntington, down the Wabash to Evansville. Later this canal was aban- doned because of the expense in operating. Charles Laymon, a member of the club, gave a talk on Lincoln's boyhood the did spend it in Indiana, you knowl and showed various pictures of Lincoln. Mr. Murphy, a teacher at South Side, gave a talk on Posey County, Page Ezghty-three Mary Hattersley, discussing Life of New Harmony told how it came to be founded, how governed, and its importance today. The social calendar of the year began in October with a wiener bake at Foster Park. On Indiana Day the club presented an ap- propriate program in the auditorium. Dr. Hamilton. of Indiana University, spoke on The Development of Education in Indiana. In February the club inspected the Lincoln museum in the Lincoln National Life Build- ing. This museum Ifounded in 1928 by Dr. L. A. Warren, national knovxm figure of Lin- colnl. has more than 4000 books and pam- phlets on Lincoln and books written in 23 dif- ferent languages. Formerly the club held its meetings monthly, but the study is so interesting that meetings are held twice a month. Officers for the year are: president, Anita Leonard: vice-president. Robert Immel: sec- retary-treasurer, Glen Fox: program chair- man, Charles Laymon: refreshment chair- men, Patsy Sheehan and Maxine Larimer: scrap-book editor, Iona Carter. SOROSIS Left to right-K.

'LITERARY-MINDED MAIDENS By JEANNE Fox Swept into the huge tide of enthusiasts for Margaret Mitchells' Pulitzer Prize winner Gone With the Wind. Sorosis chose to cli- max their club year with a grand review of this popular novel. The book was pur- chased with the purpose of presenting it to the school library. after the completion of the proiect. Keeping in mind the ultimate aim of the club: to give girls an insight into the best value of literature and to aid them in spend- ing their leisure time in profitable and in- teresting ways. Sorosis' program for the first semester was carried out in play reviews. poetry reading. and as an interesting varia- tion. a talk by Mr. Wyatt on Character and Personality. lean Bergquist led activities for the first semester. aided by Betty Hillman. vice-presi- dent: lean Lorenz. secretary: and Betty Davis. treasurer. Officers for the second semester were president. Ieanne Fox: lean Lorenz. vice-president: Mariorie Burns. secretary: and lean Bergquist. treasurer. As second semester activities got under way. it was the intention of the members to have a variety of programs in which each girl might participate. In order to deviate from the regular school routine of literary work. plans were made for unusual pro- grams. A creative meeting was planned to stimulate the personal literary faculty of all members. who were urged to bring their own prosaic or poetical attempts to the meeting. in hopes of discovering something of inter- est ior the Youth's Passing Show section of one of the local papers. To show how colorful our own language might be. and to discourage the use of trite phrases. a cliche meeting was planned. in which new and expressive word-groups were substituted for the worn out expressions in the average American's vocabulary. A surprise meeting. a picnic. and the book- review were other pleasant features of the club. Miss Katherine Welch. who has been Sorosis adviser for several years. adds much enthusiasm and inspiration to this organiza- tion. Miss Welch has composed poems which have been published in literary maga- zines. Page Ezbhty four Left to right: seated, lst row--M. Bakalar, Treas.: M. Przebindowski, T. Collias, Sec.: I. A.

Spring is here again and there's nothing ahead but drowsy days of sunshine. Well. to some spring m ay mean that, but to all those busy beings seated around a ban- quet table it means iust this: Another y e a r has passed. another Caldron has been finished. and still another Caldron is waiting for its empty leaves to be filled and bound. Last spring as those Caldronites sat around that banquet table, each one heard his special duty for the year of l938 an- nounced. Each one grasped the realization of the part he was to play in the momentous wheel of school life, the Caldron. The task of turning the wheel was assigned to Ed O'Rourke and his many assistants. The WE MADE THIS BOOK FOR YOU By IRENE KROT and BURDELLA FELTS the Caldron campaign was launched. Every senior in Central had his share of yellow cards to sell. Every pupil watched the Cal- dron thermometer rise from 100 to 200, 300, 400, 500, past the -goal of 600 to the trium- phant result of 872 subscriptions. Anne Tucker sold the highest total of individual subscriptions, 51 in number. The subscriptions were sold: the book was ready for creation. Candid cameras popped up from everywhere, flashing surprise on faces at work or at play. Miss Nielson or Ed O'Rourke was always alert for realistic pictures of school lite. Long hours after school were spent in the Caldron room per- fecting the theme, selecting the paper. count- ing type. writing and rewriting stories, and planning social events. The Caldron booth. constructed by Mr. Welbaum, remains a symbol of Caldron industry. Busy faces ready to credit a payment were always be- hind the window. The booth, covered from top to bottom with students' names in their particular carving, remains a dedication to the life of Central. wheel had to be started, so on October 26 Home room agents were cogs of the Cal- lst row: left to right-l.

Page Ninety dron wheel. Each home room has its special representative who did his part to raise the thermometer of sales. But the wheel needs oil and relaxation! Business must be combined with pleasure! The pleasures of the Caldron year floated by in quick succession. First came the Skat- ing Party of Ianuary 14, after which muscles were sore for a week. More than one hun- gry Caldronite heaped his plate too high with potato salad, baked beans, and ice cream, at the several potlucks of the year, held in the cafeteria in the form of business meetings. Our editor, Ed O'Rourke, repre- sented the Caldron at the National Scholastic Press Association Convention held in Des Moines this year. February 18 and 19 the Senior-Caldron Vod-vil, the Parade of Nations, was pre- sented. The Caldron staff shouldered the publicity affairs of the Vod-vil to help make it a great performance. And still another convention! This one. the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention in New York City, was a mam- moth one with delegates from the entire country. Ed. O'Rourke, Ieanne Patrick. George Reed, Charles Rothschild, and Miss Ingham represented the Caldron. Mixed in with layouts of papers, prices, and reports of staffs were grand opera, m usic al comedies, murders, and the Statue of Lib- Photographer Ed pushes the button erty. New York was a marvelous city and was brought back to room 104 by the dele- gates for the rest of the Caldron staff. St. Patrick's day was celebrated here in Central by the Shamrock Shuffle sponsored by the Caldron. Irishmen tand all others tool tripped the light fantastic toe on Friday, March 18, in the girls' gym. The wheel is turnin-g slower, slower. The work is almost finished. The pictures have been taken, the stories have been copy-read, the book has been laid out and sent to print. The Caldron Annual will soon be filled with signatures of classmates and teachers. Again we view the familiar setting. the ban- quet table, with due credit given to Miss Ingham, our loyal advisor. It's spring again! The wheel has turned its last revolution. The 1938 Caldron in all its glory is finished. CALDRON STAFF Left to right: lst row-P. Criswell, M. Bakalar, M. Przebindowski, B. Bitner, R. Cottinqham, I. Murray. 2nd row-I.. Shep- herd, A.

Believing this to be so, the members of the 1937-38 Spotlight staii determined to put out the best set oi history books in the annals oi the school. Under the advisorship of Mr. Cleon L. Fleck, the work for the iirst semester was begun. The staff, consisting oi approxi- mately seventy-five members, was headed by Herschel O'Shaughnessey, Editor-in- Chief: Thelma Springer, Managing Editor: Iane Masursky and Leona Zweig. News H. O'Shaughnessey and S. Shaheen Editors: Iean Bergquist and Irene Krot, Fea- ture Editors: Salem Shaheen, Sports Editor, and Marie Franke, Head Copyreader. I.

Iames Hirschy. David Skory and Theodora Collias, Secretary. Since many students ielt that credit was not always being given where credit was due in reference to work done on the Spot- light, a point system was installed. Under this new system a certain number oi points are given for each column inch, each ad, and each minute spent in working on the paper. In this way everyone is sure to re- ceive the credit due him, and it will be easy to ascertain to whom awards should be given. The point system thus far has proved very 1 Page Ninety-two SPOTLIGHT MINOR STAFF Sitting-H. Meads, A. Day, B. Eastes, B. Emerson, B. Baron, I. I-Iirschy, F. Enderle, B. Faudres, T. Harmon, A.

A new position on the staff was the addi- tion of three select writers, Ieanne Fox, Herschel O'Shaughnessey. and Burdella Felts. These students are expected to set the pace for excellence in writing. Aiding the North Side and South Side staffs, the Spotlight staff furnished the ma- terial for five pages oi the Tournament News. and was also in charge of the circulation. In addition to the Tournament News and the regular issues of the Spotlight, several six-page publications were issued, including the April Fool's edition. The Christmas Edi- tion, an eight-page publication, added a touch of color to the files as the cover sheet was printed on green paper. Other special editions were the Easter edition and the His- torical issue. The social events of the year were a Page Nmety-three Wiener roast at Foster Park last fall, a mid- semester party held in the Spotlight office. and a close-of-school picnic, also at Foster Park. held in Iune.. In addition, staff mem- bers attended the publications banquet at the Y. M. C. A. on May 19, at which time the adviser, Mr. Fleck, announced the new staff for the first semester of next year. This event concluded the work of the seniors for the year and served as a farewell party.

STUDENTS C0-OPERATE By MARIAN LINDEMAN The Student Council, formed to help the members of the home room to keep in touch with our principal, Mr. Croninger, consists oi one member elected each year from each home room. The members also present problems to the school, lead discussions as to their solution, and make announcements concerning school regulations. Some ol the problems discussed by these students include guidance, safety, hall order, assembly order, extra-curricular activities, subscription sales for school funds, fire drills, Page N mety- fue election of school subiects, boosting of the Spotlight and Caldron subscriptions, and working for proper school morale. Many members plan home room programs on Monday mornings, and since each high school student must have a safety credit, council members conduct safety discussions each Wednesday in their respective home rooms. Plans are underway for a strong Student Council next year. as an important wheel of Centra1's great industry.

BAND By BETTY PAYTON Central's band has grown considerably during the last iew years, having only fifteen members about seven years ago: today it has titty-five members. This organization contributes to all pep sessions and games. Dressed in attractive blue and white uni- forms, the band creates much enthusiasm and color with their peppy marches. The drum maior, Berton Bolyard, has served honorably at this position oi leading the band during the past two years. The band practices the iiith period every Tues- day and Friday in the auditorium. This musical group has won honors in every contest in which they competed. The band was invited to accompany the basket- ball team to Huntington in Ianuary. Under the direction ot Mr. Bailhe, the band marches in many parades given by diiferent organizations in the city. Their fine march- ing has won them many compliments and has -given them a reputation of being the best marching band in the community. The band also played for the iall festival under Mr. Simon's direction at North Side High School. Many members of our band played tor the teachers' convention in No- vember in a chosen massed band under the direction of Mr. Revelli oi Michigan. At the district contest held in Goshen, Central's band won a baton for superior playing and marching form. However, the band does not rely entirely upon music tor their entertainment. In the fall they held a wiener-bake at Foster Park and later had a potluck in the school cafe- teria. Page It mety eight ORCHESTRA lst violin-M. Menze, R. Lord, G. Menze, D. Grant. M. Exner, B.

Any boy and girl may ioin this organization by taking two or three months individual train- ing on whatever instrument they choose. Ii, at the end of this time, they show promise and aptitude they are given places in the orchestra where they acquire further ex- perience in sight-reading and interpretation ol music. Under the able direction oi Mr. Gaston Bailhe, this musical organization has won recognition in all parts of the state. They have competed in district, state, and national contests. Last year at Columbia City they won iirst division rating and then traveled Page N inety-nine to the state competition at LaPorte, placing in the second division there. In November the orchestra presented an interesting concert ior this school and in Ianuary was asked to give a program at South Side, which they did with great suc- cess. The band practices the iitth period in the auditorium every Monday and Thursday, but students take individual training in Room 112 during their tree period and after school. Boys usually play the brass instruments and drums, while the girls prefer the stringed instruments. Leroy Gerke has served as assistant direc- tor and Betty Payton is the point recorder. 1. Sui. 4.

Total 1,242 steps. No wonder I need my shoes hall- soled every two weeks! That equals about one- twentieth a cow. In ten months, I'll bet I wear out a whole cow-hide. In tour years that would equal nearly four cow-hides. That means tour cows must be slaughtered. Hamburgers are 5c each. One cow equals about 200 hamburgers. 200 x 5c ten dollars. SIU: 200 hamburgers: four cows: four cow-hides: 24 half-soles a year: all because I walk 1.242 steps each day. gsm YD iv N 'Klm:::,., ....

Page One Hundred Ten STATE SPEECH CHAMPS Herschel O'Shauqhnessey and Ed O'Rourke, III HAIL, THE CONOUERING HEROES The tongue is mightier than the sword. Although we would not wish to engage in argument with an accomplished duellist regarding the veracity of the above quota- tion, we feel somewhat safe in making said statement as we have two expert orators to prove our point. Bringing home the laurels for Central are Herschel O'Shaughnessey and Ed O'Rourke. Early in the season Ed placed second in our Reising Declamation Contest: then carried our colors to the State Declamation Contest at Franklin and came home with first place honors. He placed second in the State In- vitational Meet at Logansport. Herschel made history at Logansport by taking two firsts: one for his Declamation work, and one for his Ori-ginal Oratory. After placing first in the Reising Contest at Central, Herschel O'Shaughnessey com- peted in the city Declamation Contest spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club, tying for first.

CLICKING TONGUES CLICK So that the talented freshmen and sopho- more orators may have an opportunity to follow the well-known advice to speak for themselves, the Freshman and Sophomore Extemporaneous Contests are held annually. The contests were started by Miss R. Tonkel approximately eight years ago. Since that time, they have been placed under the leadership of Mr. A. A. Coil and now Mr. R. Earle. This year through a process of elimina- tion, the number of students to enter the Page One Hundred Eleven finals for competition for the cash awards was cut to seventeen: eight freshmen and nine sophomores. The successful freshmen were Clifford Simon, Delores Putt, Reba Stett- ler, Wilbur Baker, Mariorie Rohrbaugh, Ho- bart Largin, Dorothy Strasburg, and Iimmy Charlton. Reba Stettler was iudged winner of first place, with Delores Putt placing sec- ond and Dorothy Strasburg and Hobart Lar- gin tying for third. There were nine sophomores in the final contest.
