Third picture-Intramural Spring Football Pcxctice. By VIRGIL SQUIRES lntramural is that division of sports tor boys who do not wish to, or are not good enough, to play varsity competition. On Recognition Day, sweaters are given to the boys having the largest number of points. For playing on a championship team tive points are given, for second place three points, and tor third, one point. All boys receive two points tor coming out. ln Intramural Track, instead oi team mem- bers receiving points, each individual is given points according to how he placed in the event. ln the past, a great many oi our best athletes have developed from the Intramural ranks. This year's most notable example is Errett Richards, who is now playing varsity Compe- tition. The iirst half Senior title was won by the Turnerbund, comprised of E. Richards, E. Van Allen, B. King, W. Benner, B. Wickliiie, and R. Breedon, who defeated the Cream Puiis in the play ott. ln the Midget League, boys under l2U pounds, the Brown Bombers, consisting of S. Black, A. Black, l. Henderson, F. McRee, D. Kendrick, and M. Gray won the title ot Champs by virtue oi an undefeated season. Besides Basketball and Track, there is also a Free Throw Tournament in the spring, in which all boys, except those playing on the school team, are eligible. Last year's grand champion was won by Errett Richards, who tossed in 13 out ot 20 trys. This year, because the coaches were busy, Mr. Rowe and Mr. Windmiller were appointed to take care of lntrainural, and they did an ex- cellent iob ot it. Page Ninety-eight AS EVER. TIGERS FIGHT The Tigers this year were modeled after the famous Light Brigade of l936-1937, which starred Paul Armstrong and Tom Motter, now regulars on lndiana University's team: Harold Braden, a Butler University regular: Herman Schaefer, Iack Paul, and Virgil Riddle, who carried the Blue and White colors to the State finals at Indianapolis. Tackling. one of the toughest schedules ever attempted by a Central basketball team, the l938-39 cagers enjoyed fair success, winning eight of their regularly-scheduled games. The Tigers were severely handicapped by lack of height and experience, but their willingness to fight all the way made every contest a real battle, win or lose. The Bengals started off on the wrong foot, dropping a 39-27 decision to the powerful Mun- cie Bearcats. North Side's Redskins kept Cen- tral from breaking into the win column when they put on a last quarter rally to finish ahead 32-26. The Tigers turned in their initial victory over the Columbia City Eagles, 3l-28, and followed this up with a 28-34 upset victory over Kendall- ville's Comets. Kulesza went on a scoring spree in this game, garnering 25 points. With Kulesza still red-hot, the Blue nosed out a 34-32 win over a favored Central Catholic five. Kokorno's skyscraping Wildcats were next on the list, and were able to outpoint the Ben- gals 3l-22. The powerful Anderson lndians clipped the Blue Warriors, 31-26. Decatur Cen- tral followed suit with a 32-20 win. Central lost successive decisions to Hartford City and Auburn by scores of 29-26 and 42-41 respec- tively. The Bengals hit their belated stride against Bluffton, winning a close one 26-24. Decatur' Page Nmety nine was the next to fall, the Blue romping to a 45-23 victory over the Yellow Iackets. South Side's powerful Archers halted Central's win- ning streak, downing the Tigers 43-36 in a thrilling contest. Huntington found the Bengals to their liking, romping off with a 49-38 deci- sion. North Side scored their second win of the season over Central, this time by a score of 39-36. The Tigers next travelled to Vincennes and turned in a surprising 35-28 upset victory over the vaunted Alices. Continuing their fine play, the Blue Warriors walloped the Elkhart Blue Blazers 40-27, Kulesza turning in one of his best games. The Bengals played fine ball the following week-end at Richmond, trouncing the Red Devils 29-20. Marion proved too tough in the final game of the season, besting the Tigers 27-23 in a spirited battle. Central's hopes of going places in the Sec- tional Tournament were dealt a crushing blow when the draw matched them against South Side's heralded Archers. Nevertheless, the Tigers, led by Rice and Kulesza, put up a grand fight before going down in defeat 38-32. For his fine play all season, Kenneth Rice was elected Captain ofthe squad by vote of the members. He, along with Bill Hanley, Duke Richardson, Russell Parker, Herb Knothe, and Errett Richards, constitute the graduating Seniors. Those remaining who will bring hon- ors and carry on for the Blue and White are: Henry Kulesza, limmy Storch, Warren Wick- liffe, Fealing Talley, Fred Shaw, and Horace Talley. With the help of the lessons they have learned this year, these returning lettermen promise to give Central another fast and ag- gressive team next season. ff: . . 5 , 5 .. Q QW , .

TRACKSTERS BEAT THE CINDER PATH By DARRELL SQUIRES Having lost some fine trackmen from the former season, the Central track squad last spring appeared to have little chance for suc- cess. However, several great contestants were brought to light who did, and will in the future, uphold the laurels of Central High School. Last year South Side and Marion fell before the Tigers in dual meets, and Central finished well toward the top in the N.E.l.C., sectional, Marion, and Kokomo meets. Central sent four men to the state finals last spring, contrary to the year before when Tony Stanski was the only Tiger representative to go so far. We were represented by George Lantz and Dick Kite, Seniors: Henry Kulesza, Sopho- more: and E. Allan Charlton, lunior. Prospects for this year's team are Henry Kulesza as one of the state's foremost high- jumpers, Allan Charlton, seeing a great year as a hurdler, and Fealing Talley as a great dashman, assisted by Vance Guy. The 440 will see Bill Hanley and Henry Sandkuhler as contenders, with Paul Iohns and Dick Miller appearing in the long mile grind. Last season we sent seven boys into com- petition as a cross-country team for the first time. The boys, under the guidance of Mr. Hemphill, a former college track star, were Paul Chamberlain, Russell Dunten, and Phil Oberkizer, Iuniorsp Otto Turpchinoff and Rich- ard Morris, Sophomoresp and lames Turpchinoff and Bill Smallback, Senior and Freshman re- spectively. After two months of hard practice, the boys appeared in shape for the state meet, and on the chilly morning of November 23, twelve of the state's foremost cross-country teams began the long grind. The Blue and White, as usual, fought gal- lantly to the tape. Although they didn't cross first, the Tigers were a happy group as they returned to the North Side gym. They had given their best for Central and they knew Central was proud of them. So while we give praise to the football and basketball stars, let us not forget these gallant trackmen who also deserve much praise. Page One Hundred Two -P 8 E Row one-1. Stop!

TAP AND TUMBLE By IO FREIGY lt has been a year tor the Seniors! They started their Winning streak by capturing the volleyball title. All the games of the tournaf ment were close and exciting as was shown by the cheers of the large number of rooters of both teams. Billie Tate displayed fine torm and ability, and was one ot the outstanding players of the tournament. The Seniors played the luniors in the tinal game. Thus the volley- ball season was closed. Cries such as get me the mercurochrornef' ouch, my kneel and the like, could be heard as the girls would kick the soccer ball around. Speedball is a rough game, and many ot the girls get bumped, but all in all it is a great sport. Many a time after speedball practice was over, some ot the girls would indulge in a mud and gravel tight to make sure their shower would be worth their While. As it was time tor basketball, no speedball tournament was held. Many turned out for basketball. The girls can all enjoy it because, although some are not as good as others in shooting baskets, they can play the guard position. Miss Ingham and Miss Adams had a hard time choosing the teams because the girls were so evenly matched in ability. At the close of the season, the an- nual tournament was held. The first game was between the Seniors and the Freshmen. Vivian Martin was elected captain of the Senior team, and Patty Nyceum captain ot the Freshmen. The Seniors, being more experienced, Wal- loped the Freshmen to the tune ot 42 to 14. Page One Hundred Four The lunior-Sophomore game was the most closely matched of the Whole tournament. Angeline Bibbo, captain of the Iunior team, led her teammates in scoring While Wanda Lipp, tall, lanky Sophomore forward, was the spark plug of her team. She tallied not less than 2l points. The final outcome was 27 to 24 in favor of the Sophomores. The Sophomore-Senior game was probably the roughest game of the tournament. Sis Arnold and Vivian Martin were more than scoring for Seniors. They also Won this game by a score of 35 to 26. The most one-sided game of the tournament was the Iunior-Freshman game. Bixby, Bibbo, and Davies, Were all dead-eye-dick on the basket, running up a score of 54. The Fresh- men, who never once gave up fighting, had a score of 21. The Senior-Iunior game had the Seniors plenty worried at half-time. The score was 23 to l6 in the luniors' favor, but the determined Seniors came back to win, 41 to 3l. Again the Seniors were victorious and Winners of the Koerber cup, awarded each year to the team winning the basketball tournament. Ella I-lardiek, an alumna, refereed the games. Tumbling and tap came next on the sports calendar. Miss Adams is in the height of her glory when tumbling starts, for she gets a kick out of seeing the girls tumble Bouquets to her, because she turns out some Page One Hundred Five Top picture: Junior Speedboll, First Team, left to right-E.

Never let it be said that we don't let our light shine forth-or in, to be technical. Clock-Watchers are somewhat perplexed, as there are no timepieces in the classrooms. These objects can be found only in the halls. EUCH The new study hall is so well-lighted that we wonder how we ever managed to see in the old session room and auditorium. equipped with tables and Each room is chairs-desks seem to be an almost unknown quantity here. Modern to the last detail, magnificent in structure, and the fulfillment of every Cen- tralite's dream is this-our new building. W E E I V . 1. Top picture: Sophomore Basketball.

At first the girls were required to pass certain tests in order to get their points. Then they began drilling tor the exhibition in groups according to the number ot points they received. One advantage of tumbling is that the girls are given an equal chance to display their ability individually, and then, too, they can do some- thing originalg tor example, in building pyra- mids they get together in groups to see which can produce the best. Shuttle, tap, step, was just one of the many expressions used by Miss Ingham while after- school tap was in session. At first a great num- ber turned out, but gradually the number decreased, because some thought the routine too ditticult. A great majority ot the dancers were Freshmen, who, although they seem to decrease in size every year, are always good dancers. Norma Exner, a graduating Senior, who has played the piano for the dancers in the gym exhibition the last tour years, will really be missed next year by Miss Ingham. She was always on the job when the piano was needed. A stranger walking into the gym on some of the tap nights might have thought a sort ot jam session was going on. ln one corner ot the gym the tappers would be going through their dance together with Miss Ingham, while at the other end a group of special tumblers would be doing some acrobatics. Then, to the astonishment ot many, a group ot short-skirted Page One Hundred SLA: skaters would be going 'round and 'round and sometimes down. Much time and effort are spent by both Miss lngham and Miss Adams in getting the tap and tumbling together with all the other sports in top shape for the exhibition, which was held April 21, in the boys' gym. Many people look forward to the exhibi- tion and come year after year. As usual, a good crowd attended. The tumblers in their red and blue costumes are always a main at- traction. Then, too, variety of tap dances always make a hit, especially the advanced tap, because of the more difficult steps in- volved. Besides the tap dancing there were folk dancing and a soft shoe number. Then there were the miscellaneous features such as badminton, paddle tennis, volleyball, basket- ball, speedball, and ping pong. All in all, the exhibition is a demonstration of what the girls do in class. Shouts and cheers greet baseball because the girls are eager to be outdoors after being kept in all winter. Over the fence is out, and Whoever puts the ball on the roof must get it, are just a couple of Central home-made base- ball rules. The baseball tournament ended the sports program for the year. The last get-together before the Seniors donned their caps and gowns to say farewell was the C.G.A.A. banquet held May 24. The girls always look forward to this event because the officers are announced. Each old officer in Page One Hundred Seven Top picture: Senior Second Team Speedball, front row, left to right- I..

One of the main features of the banquet is the award- ing of the Hardiek Sportsmanship Trophy and the Koerber Basketball Cup. Talks are also made by the adviser, Miss Ingham, members, and guests. The banquet brings to a close the club activ- ities for the year. The committee for the ban- quet was Betty Miller as chairman, Bernadette Shea, Leslie Chamberlain, Helen Alter, and the officers. The theme chosen for this year's banquet was A Day at the Baces, with the decorations carried out in harmony. The program consisted of talks by the presi- dent of the three High School Athletic Associa- tions, Virginia Steele from North Side, Hazel Perry from South Side, and Delores Ryan from Central Catholic. Sis Arnold presided as toast- mistress for the banquet. Other speakers were Donna Burton, Freshman: Mary Ann Mohr, Sophomore: Mary Winkler, luniorp and Alberta Bultemeyer, Senior. Miss Ingham, adviser of the C.G.A.A., awarded the Hardiek Sportsmanship trophy and also spoke. The Koerber Cup was awarded to Vivian Martin, captain of the Senior Cham- pionship Basketball team. The highlight of the evening was the announcing of the new offi- cers for the year 1939-40. The banquet brings to a close the club activi- ties for the year, but plans are already under way for the September picnic, when we will meet again.

A few months ago, a Central Senior civics student asked, Why can't we hold an election, elect city officials, and run our city govern- ment for a day? All right, the instructors answered, organ- ize your own parties, and go ahead. You're on your own. So two major parties were organized, the Bull Moose group and the loan of Arc party. The question of the hour became, Will loan's sword prove mightier than the Moose's horns? lt did-with the result that Virgil Squires de- feated Dick Van Camp in the race for Mayor. On April 29, 1939, the chosen students took over the city government of Fort Wayne. Page One Hundred Fourteen l Left to right: first row-1. Sid looks important. Z.

The program was put across largely by the efforts of Mr. Willis Richardson, adviser, George Koorsen, and Bert Devore. Surely this project shows that the coming generation will be safely entrusted in governmental affairs.

Today our schools move toward much the same object, knowledge. But not ab- stract knowledge of disjointed facts. Rather an integrated whole View of history, of science, of knowledge in all its boundlessness. We admit it is merely a view of the possibilities. What we are proud of is the fact it is a View in perspective, where each piece of knowledge rests in perfect correlation to every other piece, where not just the date and leading general of a war are memorized, but where the causes of this war are ferreted out, and the tangled results of that war to the world are traced. Such a task cannot be intrusted to a mere pedant: it must be performed by a trained and efficient, yet wise and under- standing human being. lt must be performed by just such a faculty as we have at Central.

Mrs. Payton, Treasurer. , Mother knows bestwnd so does Dad! Therefore, they must have their part in our school system. The School Board and the Parent-Teachers Association are two of the most important adult activities concerned with the student. The School Board has charge of the school city. Composed of five members, appointed by the Mayor for five years, the Board meets twice each month on Tuesday. lt's up to the Board to decide all business that comes before the school city such as the budget-which gives them a headache even as our own. They also decide whether Central will have a new building, if Adams Grade School shall have a new boiler, and whether certain property should be bought. In short, they pass on all the financial affairs of the school city. The Board can be reappointed and there must be three members of one political party, two of the other. Present members are Mr. William McKay, president: Mrs. David Vesey, sec- retaryg Dr. Victor Hilgemann, treasurer: Mr. Ben Geyer, and Mr. Willard Shambaugh. Most concerned about our welfare is the Parent-Teachers Association, headed at present by Mrs. Clifford Simon, presidentg Mrs. F. C. Stettler, vice-president: Mrs. T. C. Del-laven, sec- retary: and Mrs. Harry Bloemker, treasurer. Last semester Mrs. Vera Van Camp acted as president of this organization and really headed some wonderful work very efficiently, indeed. These parents all have one common thought-ethe highest welfare of their children. lt is an organization of parents and teachers Working together to promote all that is best for each and every one of us. Yes, the parents will have their say and we're very happy about the whole thing. Page Ten Page Eleven OUR SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS There exists today the most striking challenge' to every school- room in America to continue and to increase our efforts and to strengthen our support of the true ideals of Democracy. lt is not enough to speak and Write our firm convictions that America stands for the finest example of government in the Whole world. We shall and should instill and imbed in the hearts of every child and every citizen the fine sense of patriotic and civic ardor for the cherished ideals of our great Republic. The statement of Charles Evans Hughes is highly significant and true. He said the safeguards of our Democracy lie in Edu- cation and public discussion. The very essence of every discus- sion of our great leaders in Education is to cultivate a keen ap- preciation of what We have enjoyed and to stimulate an earnest desire to do all We are able, to prosper and to promote those principles and practices that are truly democratic in every com- munity. The Whole social fabric will breathe and live this spirit when We lend true devotion and tireless endeavor in promoting, teaching and cultivating the spirit and freedom our country af- fords. The economic, social, recreational and moral status of each home is of genuine importance. There still exists a great spirit and desire to maintain a splendid home life, but some of the trials and hardships come from failures in our social organiza- tion. The strength We shall hope to present will lie in raising the individual standards of every home, rich or poor, handicapped or healthy, denied or overindulged. Here We find a great responsibility in Education and likewise a great opportunity. We shall urge toward a continuance of a freedom that has existed since our early national beginning. The practical, honest and truth seeking approach will bring an approach that is democratic and purposeful. We shall thus, through Education and discussion, support, honor and continue the ideals of the greatest country in the World. MERLE l. ABBETT Superintendent of Schools - 2 xc XR. I He guides. with u view to the future. our school democracy-our superintendent, Mr. Merle I. Abbeit. Our teachers are our luxe of defense m this democracy Commander in chief of these forces IS our pnncxpcl Mr Fred H Cronmqer OUR PRINCIPAL SPEAKS This school is a place where anyone who comes to learn is welcome. With sixty-six teachers and 2,150 pupils, the keynote rnust be cooperation, sympathy, toleration, and a desire to help. No one can make me jealous of another person or another school. What I am concerned about is that everyone should be given a chance and encouragement to develop to his fullest capacity. We are glad to win honors in debate, in music, in athletic games, in school publications, in per- sonality traits, and skills but more than this We are concerned that each one be given a chance to develop in studies, character, and activities. In a school with 325 classes, and 150 different subjects and four graduating courses, surely anyone can find subjects to their liking. To do this there must be close cooperation and harmony among all here to function properly and efficiently. Besides the above there are more than twenty activities identified directly with the school which must have their share of time, place, and supervision. So you see why everyone must help and not hinder. Every absence, every unprepared lesson, every misdemeanor, every lack of material, makes it harder for all to have a good school. Here all classes are welcome if they are here to Work-all religious faiths, all nationalities-all regardless of size, money, or advantage. The same classes and privileges are open to all. Scholarship, courtesy, democracy are our trilogy. We have varied school subjects and twenty- five school activities. We try never to be in too much of a hurry to be courteous and considerate. Here at Central High School We present equal opportunities. Anyone who attends school regularly, who behaves himself, and who gets his lessons is Welcome. This all is Central High School. FRED H. CRONINGER Principal Page Twelve Democmtically offering precision. tact. and sympathy. our dean--Miss Anna B. Lewis-keeps Central running smoothly. OUR DEAN SPEAKS What are the ideals of democracy in Central that are set for youth in a Dean's office? No question could be more pertinent to my Work or nearer to my heart. Throughout a period of more than a quarter of a century there have been certain principles, fundamentally sound, that l have endeavored to emphasize as I work with young people. - The most important principle, I would say, is to teach youth to live constructively in a democratic society. His society of course is composed of his own environment, which largely is his relationship to his school. This may sound easy to do and easy to live in such a fashion, but experience in both proves differently. Again and again I have had the opportunity to say to students, I can not tell you what to do, but I can help you to see conditions as they are so that you may more intelligently make your choice. If a boy or girl is normal he likes that sort of challenge, and oftentimes l am amazed at the wisdom of his decisions. Decisions made in this manner carry with them stronger convictions than those made under the influence of pursuasion. It is the privilege of the school in a democratic country to acquaint youth with facts, and to advise him as to the significance of these facts. Only by so doing everywhere may we be saved from the ravages of a dictator. Our rich extra-curricular program at Central offers many opportunities for teaching group living. When programs for clubs are planned, we place responsibility upon the leaders, not only to take initiative themselves, but to see to it that other members of the group become active in that small democracy Where everyone in the organization has some opportunity for expression.

Growth, both physical and mental, is the keynote ot all lite. ln time, physical growth will cease, tor there is a limit to tangible reality. Alter that, one can merely keep active and at a peak one's physical equipment. But mental growth must never cease, or the individual falls behind the march ot lite and lives in a dim world ot halt-tones and sees in the colortul panorama ot lite only motley greys and blacks and whites, He is blind to those exciting scenes which demand as their price ot perception an untlagging interest, an intelligent understanding, and a desire tor active participation. Central High School, as all American high schools, tosters this growth, nurtures the urge tor enlightenment, and develops capaci- ties ot tomorrow's citizen that he may make his world a better one. t Page Eig hteerz Page Nineieen A mob-it appears-all hurrying to iheir classrooms for the compelent insiruction found ai Central. I: was X i e RADUATES By BURDELLA FELTS And it came to pass in the reign of Croninger the Principal, that certain students were sorely vexed. For they were weary of time-worn education, and did yearn for a change. Yet, they knew not how to accomplish their aims. Months were spent in study and cramming, and lo, one of them did receive an inspiration. Calling together his companions, he did tell them of an aged teacher of many years and great renown, who was 'said to be wisest among all pedagogues. And straightway they did seek him out. Incline thine ear, saith the teacher, for lo, l see visions of certain learned men, even schoolmasters, who, perusing manuscripts of ancient date, even unto last year's Caldron, do thence extract ideas which pass as new. Learn ye of them: follow their example. And lo, the students did marvel at the wisdom of the prophet, and did praise him even into the corridors and halls. And, straightway, they did dust off ancient vol- umes, even Caldrons, and did discover aged docu- ments, diplomas. And lo, the vision of the teacher did manifest itself, and they did find an aged diploma, signed and sealed. The students did dance and make merry, and straightway did take their document to a principal of great renown, and did say, O most exalted sir, O most renowned of all the earth, do give us, too, a diploma to signify that we likewise have satis- factorily completed our education. And the principal did as he was commissioned. And lo, as he was finished, the students did marvel at the greatness of their knowledge, and did noise the glad tidings unto all the world. And they did call this new process gradua- tion, and it was gained even after the twelfth year of time spent in the little red schoolhouse. And this honor was deemed awardable only to exalted seniors. And great was their fame. Page Tzvent Y SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS lst row-Herb Knothe. Soc.

Only yesterday-at least it seems like only yesterday-we entered the portals of Central as green Freshmen, afraid of all the noise and hurry, and wishing with all our might that we could go home and hide our heads like the well-known ostrich. However, we made the best of things, and soon became acquainted with our fellow Freshies and grew used to the perennial razzing we received. We jumped into the second stage of our career in Central as Sophomores. No longer were we called Freshies -in fact, we were utterly ignored. To prove to the world in gen- eral that we were still existent and very much awake, we held our first class affair, a get- acquainted party in the girls' gymnasium in December, l936. ln April we featured thrills and spills at a skating party held at Bell's Rink. When we be- came an organized group in the fall of '36, we chose Charles Rothschild as President: Ken- neth Rice, Vice-President, and Theodora Col- lias, Secretary-Treasurer. The social council was composed of lean lunk, Richard Koenig, Harrison Richardson, Robert Gross, and Mary Frances Lauer. Pace Twentv-one With our noses at a 45D angle and our heads in the air, we strolled through the halls in l937. At long last we were luniors. Raymond Heine took over the helm to steer us through this, our third year, and Charles Rothschild acted in the capacity of Vice-President. Theodora Collias, as Secretary-Treasurer: Doris Horn, Gladys Hunt, Russell Buchan, Herbert Knothe, Lois Brower, and Betty Payton as social council, comprised the rest of the class officers. Sarah Stettler stole the show when she was crowned Iunior Prom Queen by Betty Bitner, queen of the class of '38. Then suddenly we found ourselves Seniors. We realized with a start that we had almost reached the end of the long road that led to graduation. To guide us through our final year, we elected Raymond Heine, President: Ken- neth Rice, Vice-Presidentg Burdella Felts, Sec- retary-Treasurerp Betty Payton, Agnes Yarnelle, Richard Van Camp, Bob Cunningham, Herbert Knothe, Maurice Deatrick, and George Koor- sen, social council. Miss Eva Mcliinnie and Mr. Russell Rowe acted as advisers. We proudly march to the Emboyd on lune 4 to hear Reverend Howard I. Brown deliver the Baccalaureate address to our parents and friends. Following this, we gather for the last time at the door of Central to pose for a picture -our last group picture. And so endeth a long march, for we've finally reached our long-sought destinatione graduation. 1 SENIOR CLASS SPONSORS Q Russell R.

Page Thirty two THEY GAZE AT THE STARS ' By MARY PREZBlNDOWSKl The time is 8:15 P. M., February 17, 1939. The place is Central High School Audito- rium. There is a strange silence and suddenly the Conductor, played by Ray Heine, rushes out from among the audience and announces that he will take the audience on a tour through Hollywood. The Movie Director, Sid Sterns, approves, and begins casting immediately. The accompanist, Norma Exner, begins play- ing Ole Man Mose and the soloist, Virgina Maloley, struts out and sings the unique song in her petite way. ln the background is a group of jitter-bugs comprised of Eunice Turner, Bernadette Shearer, 'Olympia Derloshon, Ber- nadette Shea, Mavis Bloemker, Norma lean Kennedy. ln the next casting room we see the Barber Shop Harmony group, singing sweetly in their old-fashioned way, The people call for Donald Duck, but in- stead the Director lets us see the taking of Ferdinand the Bull. The Military Tap of Delores Treuchet, and the duet of Genevieve F reigy and Ruth Cotting- ham are really a treat. Another skit is The Pirates, with Wanda Racine, director: Virginia Maloley, Ruth Duell, Viola Kaiser, Bonnie Closson, Virginia Rob- inson, Virginia Houser, Maryse Reiner, and a monologue, There's a Woman, by George Dean. To give us an example of just how night club scenes are taken, May Ruth Vanselow and Dick Derrickson do a fast tap duet and Gene- vieve Freigy sang My Walking Stick with a dance chorus comprised of May Ruth Vanse- low, Olympia Derloshon, Bernadette Shea, Mavis Bloemker, Norma lean Kennedy, Merl Harnishfeger. The Three F lats, lack Greitzen- bach, Charles Downie, Donald Dimke, are fol- lowed by a Toe Tap by Catherine Hobbs and lean Lemert. Gur Gang Comedy adds a little mystery to the vaudeville. Those in this skit were: Lois Brower, directory Clifford Simon, Alan Temple, Dick Butler, Reba Stettler, Floyd Cooper, Bobby Littlejohn. The finale adds beauty to the Vod-vil. While the duet, Ruth Cottingham and lim Bailey, were singing You're as Pretty as a Picture, a chorus of girls dressed in beautiful evening gowns danced gracefully in the background. ln the chorus are: Betty Payton, Sylvia Bowers, Marjorie Rohrbaugh, lrene Burton, Mary Prez- bindowski, Marilyn Heaston, Marlowe Bruot, and Dorothy Korn. The stage crew assisting was Bob Cunning- ham, Dick Van Camp, Ralph Walda, Fred Ahlersmeyer, Bob Hill, Dean Burt. Electrician-Dick Butler. Class Advisers-Eva Mcliinnie, Russell Rowe. The orchestra assisting was Wilbur Baker, Paul Welker, Paul Lynch, lanice Stute, Dallas Emberlin, lule Doster, Bill Vaice. has A , , . , Left to right-Top Hut cmd White Tie Chorus.

These same Seniors were, in May, named Best Citizens ol Central High School. A 1 -... V., .ff,g ...faff We knew it all the time! They were the logical ones to receive the honor. Such statements as these greeted the announce- ment that Robert Duell and Burdella Felts had been appointed valedictorian and salutatorian respec- tively. Bob is not only outstanding scholastically, but in extra-curricular activities as well. He is president of the Central Honor Society, a varsity debater, a member ot the National Forensic League, Boosters, Math Club, and was recently elected into the Na- tional Honor Society. His tour-year average was 95.23. Burdella is likewise one of the most active students in school attairs. She is a tormer president ot the local Honor Society, Vagabonds, member ot Latin Club, Boosters, Spotlight, Caldron, Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, and is president of Press Club. Her average was 95.09. Although Byron Breininger has averaged 97.45 per cent in his work at Central, he has attended Central tor only two years, and thus is not eligible tor the position ot valedictorian. Duell and Burdella head the following list of six- teen boys and girls who have attained higher than the 90 per cent mark: Mary Lou Berkey ,.,..... . .... 94.59 Pct.

UNDERGRADUATES By WAN DA RACINE As we enter high school, as very young citi- zens, indeed, looking forward to four of the greatest years of our lives, we feel a great anticipation. We continue on our high school way with determination and zeal, always looking to the supreme goal of graduation day. We attend all the baccalaureate services, the graduation exercises, and the recognition days and watch with a secret envy the Seniors as they receive all the honors that they have worked for during their four years in high school. We Freshmen, Sophomores and luniors be- lieve that one of the greatest days of our lives will be when we walk forward to receive our much waited for and much coveted diploma. We wait with great anxiety the day when We can don our caps and gowns and walk proudly through the halls and know that we are now the envied Seniors. Because we look so longingly forward to our graduation we are working hard now, not only at our school work but also at our eXtra-curric- ular activitiesp we hope that some day the underclassmen will nod toward us and say, She made the National Honor Society, or, He was chosen best boy citizen. But this is not the only reason we work so hard during our high school life. We realize that our four years here at Central instill in us many ideals, and we believe that if we strive for honors to be given us at graduation, we will also strive in later years to be citizens of good standing and to uphold our democracy at all times.

But why look ahead just now? lt's nice now at the three- fourths mark to look back and see just what kind of a foundation we've laid for a success- ful finish. Scholarship is something looked for in every class. Our junior class is always well repre- sented on the honor roll each six weeks period. The industrious luniors who upheld our honor roll are: Theodore Bakalu, Dorothy Bixby, Bon- nie Closson, lrene Conley, Dorothy Davies, Norman Franke, lames Hirschy, Roberta Iones, Viola Kaiser, Maxine Larimer, Franklin Lopshire, Marjorie Eckles, Dorothy Lord, Har- old Masursky, Geraldine Miller, Neva Nagel, Dorothy Olry, Martha Putt, Phyllis Sommers, Ned Tarney, Gloria Belle Temple, leanette Warner, Maxine Wass. During our three years here, the attention of the entire school has been focused upon this class at various times in speech work. Bivah Hassan, prominent junior, won the Beising Declamation Contest, December 21. Of the other four contestants, Louis Perlman, Iunior, gained second place and Tom O'Bourke received third place. Bival'1's declamation was entitled The Kidnappersng Louie's was l am lnno- cent Of This Blood 7 and Tom's was The Bule Page Thirty-seven of The Blindug Tom O'Bourke was the first re- cipient of the Albert A. Coil Cup and placed first in the Kiwanis contest, which was a double honor bestowed upon a fine Centralite. Tom is following in his brother's footsteps. l-le can easily be called the silver-tongued orator. We are glad to have him in our class. Ed Langas not only was active in athletics, but was an ardent debater and represented Central many times during the past year. Many of the girls belong to C.G.A.A. and the boys are represented in football, basket- ball, track, and intramural sports.

All the girls were dressed in the beautiful spring colors. Ed Langas served as master of cere- monies. Serenaded by Iimmie Sanford's popular or- l-lawaiian Night chestra, dancers at the lunior Prom witnessed the highlight of the an- ticipated affair, the lavish crowning of Queen lulia Ann Cowan. Iulia Ann is very active in school activities. She is a member of Art Club, the Caldron, S.P.C., and Boosters. Queen lulia reigned from a throne of natural tropical beauty, surrounded by her six attend- ants, lean Arthur, Ruth Cottingham, Marilyn l-leaston, Gloria Temple, leannette Warner, and Wanda Racine, with Bd Langas acting as master of ceremonies. Sarah Stettler, last year's prom queen, en- acted the roll of crown-bearer and also assisted in other details of the Coronation, with Byron Doenges, Iunior Class President, receiving the honor of placing the coveted crown upon Julia Ann's golden tresses. Leis, typical of Hawaiian beauties, were given to everyone present with the queen re- ceiving one of special significance from the hand of Sarah. Other favors were distributed equally among the dancers. Silhouetted palm trees graced the cafeteria wall with a tropical garden and an inviting grass shanty where Hawaiian refreshments were served. Commenting on the effect of the scenery, Dick Butler, Vice-President of the class, stated, Prom committees endeavored to transpose the cafeteria into a real Hawaiian paradise. Page F arty A group of Hawaiian guitar players helped to carry out the theme of native Hawaii during the course of the evening. The ceremony was beautiful. The six attend- ants preceded Iulia Ann. The Queen was dressed in white and her long hair was let down for the ceremony. The Iunior class pre- sented their Queen with a bouquet of lavender and white flowers. The crown was of white lilacs. The throne was made in Hawaii of woven grass with flowers threaded through the strands. Grass covered the foot of the throne. Arrangements were made for a group of forty chaperones to be present on the gala night. These people comprise Mr. and Mrs. Merle I. Abbett, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Geyer, Mr. and Mrs. David Vesey, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hilgemann, Mr. and Mrs. William T. McKay, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Sharnbaugh, Dr. and Mrs. lames C. Cowan, Mr. and Mrs. Fred H.

' All members of the '39 graduating class were given opportunity to receive free tickets before Wednesday, May lUg thereafter all Seniors were requested to pay a twenty-five cent fee for admission. Our class of 4O has proved that it can do things well and has been very ambitious. We feel that we have a good start, and that after another year of hard work we will become a senior class which will attain the heights of success and a class of which Central will be proud.

YOUTH-ONE STEP FORWARD Sophomores! That's what we are, after one year of waiting. Last year we were freshies, razzed by all. Now, as sophomores, we are wholly ignored. ln our freshman year at Central we chose as our leaders for our first year, Clifford Simon to act as presidentp Arthur Lenz, as vice-presi- dent, and Betty Patton, as secretary-treasurer. The social council consisted of Marjorie Rohr- baugh, Suzanne Collias, David Skory, Evelyn Lhamon, Thomas Crosbie, Deloris Putt, and Beatrice Mee. Miss Eva Mcliinnie and Mr. Robert Dornte were selected as the advisers of the class. Ianuary came and We were 9A'sl We looked forward to the incoming 9B's over whom we might assume a little authority. Upon the ar- rival of the freshmen in lanuary they were featured guests of the sophomores at a party held in the girls' gym. The fall freshmen had. the honor of an election: the spring freshmen the honor of a party. The outstanding event of the entire class was a picnic held in late spring before the close of school at Foster Park. Many different games were played and the members of the class had a very happy- time. Pnoe Forty-three The class of '41 held their sophomore elec- tion in October of 1938. As officers, we selected for president, Arthur Dayy Martha leanne EX- ner, vice-president, and Ruth Duell, secretary- treasurer. Reba Stettler, Suzanne Collias, Vir- ginia Maloley, Tom Crosbie, and Betty Lou Koenig were the social council members that we selected. We chose as advisers Miss Rosza Tonkel and Mr. Russell l-l. Earle. The activities of the year consisted of two outstanding events. The feature which was not only enjoyed by the class but also by mem- bers of the student-body was the Donald Duck Dance. This dance was held in the girls' gym on February 3, 1939. The music was furnished by Paul Goodwin and his orchestra. The gym was cleverly decorated with pictures of Donald Duck, carrying out the theme of the dance. The officers of the class were assisted on the dance by Arthur Rufner, Lola O'Brien, Eunice Turner, Chris Salomon, Betty Stumpf, Clifford Simon, Virginia Robinson, lack Sturm, and Duane Koch. At this date the sophomores are anticipating a picnic later in the spring to be held in one of the city parks. The Sophomores have many pupils whose names appear frequently on the honor roll. r l R l l i l 1 i i if l ki t A S W , it 3' -' ' .- .. A ' ...... ' A 5 ' 'v. ' wsftvm y. ., - ' ,,...: .....

In the orchestra we can Page Forty our find Wilbur Baker, Reba Stettler, Martha Exner, Betty Baumgartner, and lrma Eisen- hauer. In the Glee Club we find many girls but only a few boys. These students are Mavis Bloemker, Wilodean Brown, Marlowe Bruot, Nellie Kickley, Eugene Meire, and Robert Mitchell. Some of these students appeared in the operetta given by the music department. ln our speech department here at Central can be found many sophomores. Active among those are Ruth Duell, Marcella Bultemeier, leanne Lee, Iimmy Charlton, Clifford Simon, David Skory, Deloris Putt, and Robert Blossom. Martha leanne Exner, a very prominent sophomore in the music field, won a violin contest in the city. She competed with students from the other public high schools. This made her eligible for a state contest. Here at Central we are proud to have such an excellent vio- linist. Another prominent sophomore, Tom Crosbie, is in the art department. He is trying out for an art contest. Every one knows how well Tom can draw and make posters and such things, for whenever anything is going on at school, he makes posters for publicity. When he is not making posters or helping with the decorations for some affair, he can be found enjoying him- self in drawing for his own amusement. Everyone here at Central knows about the annual Girls' Gym Exhibition. In this we find many sophomore girls taking important parts. The many colorful dances were made up of many sophomore girls. ln a new and different dance, The Tango, we find Bernadette Shea taking an important part. In a very colorful Farmer Dance we found Betty ltt doing very nicely. ln tumbling we found many of our girls taking part. Mae Ruth Vanselow was espe- cially very outstanding. ln this year's exhibi- Leit to right: ls! row-B. Eberle. E. Elder. B. Ellis. I. Eisenhauer. M.'Exner. D. Faq'-L B. Faudree. E. Faulkner. B.

Such was the greeting we found awaiting us as we entered the doors of Central in the fall of 1938. But we'll leave as Seniors some- day. Only next year we'll have our chance to get even for the slams we received this, our first, semester. Our class elections were held on February 6, in Boom One, with Alan Temple, prominent in the speech department, carrying highest honors, that of President. Elinor Felts and Dorothy Kyler were given the posts of Vice- President and Secretary-Treasurer, respec- tively. Helen Niles, Myron Racine, Ioyce Pos- sell, lames Miller, Adella Costantino, and Betty Crothers are the social council members. The class advisers selected by this group were Mrs. Helen Conley and Mr. Louis Craney. The class officers and social council mem- bers put their heads together and came out with something different for the Freshman class-a skating party. This social affair was approved by the ad- visers and the entire Freshman class. lt was held in May at Bell's skating rink. A large crowd turned out for this affair, not only Freshmen but upperclassmen also. Everyone, including the advisers, exhibited his or her talents in the art of skating. Everyone had a grand time. Attendance prizes were given. The Freshmen were always in the running where the honor roll was concerned. Twenty- two Freshmen distinguished themselves by being A students. Alan Temple and Ioyce Possell led the Freshmen honor roll roster for the semester with four A's and one A-1-. Others who made high grades were Kenneth Eversole, Marcella Hadjeff, Lucille Hallien, Betty lane Hargave, Richard Hitzeman, Doris Hughes, Duane Iones, Dorothy Kline, Frank Krider, Lauranna Krotke, Helen Niles, Doris Patton, Elinor Felts, Carol Peterson, Nancy Wood, Mar- celene Beuille, Harold Richter, Vera Schmidt, Genevieve Van Epps, and Betty lean Warner. Those who made high grades were invited to join the Honor Society, a club of high rank and to which everyone cannot belong. The Freshmen proved themselves ambitious by taking part in many extra-curricular activi- ties with enthusiasm. FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: seated at desk-Mr. L. R. Craney. Class Adviser.

This is one ot the many clubs opened to Freshmen. Those who joined are Doris Patton, Mary Cath' erine Wood, Paul Prill, Alan Temple, Raymond Rogers, loyce Possell, Betty Richardson, lean Sauer, Lavern Faulkner, Lauranna Krotke, Roma Meyer, Mary Ellen Wingate, Adella Costantino, Leslie Esthers, Betty Wilker, Bob Cottingham, Rose Cchstein, Helen Niles, and Virginia Sloan. Alan Temple, the class President, made the varsity debate team and is expected to become very prominent in speech Work. lmportcrnt con- tributions to the Senior-Caldron Vaudeville were made by Delores Treuchet and Alan Temple. Alan took a part ot one ot the Our Gang characters in a comedy ot the same name. Delores performed a military tap dance. Dale Crapser, Leo Redwanski, Tom Bariel, lim Miller, Emil Sitko, Bob Blew, Clyde Burton, Bill Callow, Douglas Drake, Don Rice, and Horace Talley are promising material for future basketball stars, having already seen action in many ot our court battles. The most outstanding ot these Freshmen players is Horace Talley, who participated in many ot our games and in one ot the tournament games. He has received a C for his excellent work. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls also have been very active in the sports depart- ment. Members ot the C.G.A.A. are Florence Bennett, Estella Berry, Donna Burton, Mary Doelling, Doris Hughes, Lauranna Krotke, Patricia Nyceum, Virginia Strong, Delores Dunetee, Mildred Graft, Helen Niles, and Waneta Rice. The music department also attracted many of our Freshmen. Patricia Battrick and Paul Lynch belong to the band. Q Numerous Freshmen girls were attracted by the Glee Club. Those who joined are Donna Burton, loan Smallwood, Evelyn Gebhard, Ireta Grush, Virginia jackson, Iune Murphy, Lucille Schneider, Margaret Sturm, Mary Edna r H Page Fifty Winget, Valerie Friedt, Delores Hamman, and Edith Baker. The Spotlight and Caldron staifs claim the services oi many oi our aspiring journalists such as Maxine Schultz, Marilyn Makin, Patty Nyceum, Frank Krider, Elinor Felts, Alan Tem- ple, Adella Costantino, Helen Fultz, Carol Gul- seth, William Smallback, Iohn Wiedner, Frederick Funkhouser, Harold Bichter, Bill Wat- terson, Duane lones, and Vera Schmidt. Aspiring to be good citizens ot Central, the Freshmen have found that the iirst point they must emphasize is school spirit. lt is on school spirit that Central lives and thrives. Before they can further school spirit, they must learn to know and recognize our school song. Fol- lowing is a copy of the song: Central, dear Central! Your sons and daughters wear the white and blue, White tor your honor pure, Blue making hearts endure, Central, we will cherish thee Down through the years, We will love thee through smiles and tears, Dear Central, our own. Central, proud Central, They're legion who have worn your white and blue. By hundreds they have thronged Your hall in days agone. Central, they're remembering thee, Honoring thee out there. ln the lite that we'll one day share, Thanks, Central, to thee. Central, brave Central, Within us beats your mighty heart today! ln study hall and iield, Honor men will be your shield. Central, for our pride in thee, Daughters and sons For the letter men you have won, Here's Central, to thee. Left to right: ls! row-E. Gilbert. B. Gill. O. Graft. I. Grenzerbush. I. Grush, C.

Here follows a word to us from an upper- classman: Welcome to Central, Freshmen. Now that you are in high school, you make this your home and forget about your grade school that has been your abode for the past eight years. ln high school, you can make a new begin- ning. You know the faults that were yours in grade school. Start to overcome them today. Start your high school careers so that you will not be sorry when you are Seniors. Decide now what subjects to take, what clubs you want to join. Seek the advice of your teachers. They will be more than glad to help you. Clubs that are open to all freshmen are Latin Club for those who take Latin, Torch Club for boys, Central Triangle Club tGirl Re- serve Club! for girls, drarnatics for boys, Spot- light for boys and girls, Vagabonds for stu- dents who are interested in traveling and hear- ing of travels. Both girls' sports and boys' sports are open to freshmen who are interested in sports of any sort. There is a club for almost every interest of a student. If a student enjoys a certain type of club, let him ask a teacher and the teacher will advise him for his best advantage. Out of all who enter Central, a certain num- ber are attending just because the law com- pels them to do so. When they become sixteen Pa ge Fifty-two they will leave school5 this is a bad idea With which to start high school. If these students could change this plan and enter high school with the thought of graduating in tour years it would make high school much pleasanter, and would also be very beneficial to the stu- dent. He may change his mind and find out that school is worth all his time and effort. Freshmen, if you come to Central to get everything Central offers and to give every- thing you can to Central, you Will be happy here. Now is the time to start being a best boy or girl citizen. Today is the day to strive for scholastic honors. You have four years ahead of you to do with What you will. Foresee the future and begin Work now! Three hundred eighty-four incoming Fresh- men received the above Welcome When they entered Central in September and 196 were greeted with just such words upon their en- trance in lanuary. ln September Harmar headed the list of entrants by sending 91 Fresh- men to Central. Washington School was sec- ond in line with 74 entrants. Next was Hoagland with 58, followed by lames H. Smart with 35. Other schools entering students were Con- cordia, 245 Adams, 245 St. Paul's Lutheran, 185 Franklin, 105 Emmaus, 85 Forest Park, 85 St. Ioseph's, 95 St. Andrews, 35 St. lohn's, 35 Pre- cious Blood, 25 St. Mary's, 25 Cathedral, 25 Har- rison Hill, 25 Bethlehem, 25 St. Peter's, 25 rural schools, 25 Emmanuel, 15 St. Patrick's, 15 Zion's, 15 St. Hyacinth's, l5 and 2 persons coming from surrounding territory. ln lanuary, Washington Grade School headed the list by sending 60 Freshmen en- trants to Central. Harmar School had 45 Freshmen, with Hoagland and lames H. Smart tied for second place With 30 each. There were 20 students who entered in lanuary from Adams School. Franklin had 7, and Forest Park and Harrison Hill tied With 2 each. With such a variety of schools represented in such a large class, how can our Freshman class help but become a fine graduating class in 1942? Left to right: lst row-L. Skory, V. Sloan, M. Slyby, I.

Wilson and Miss Esther Thomas THEY POINT THE WAY AHEAD What am I going to do after I graduate? This question, so timely in this day of un- employment and increasing leisure, is the con- cern of Miss Leah Austin and her Guidance Committee. In producing good citizens there can be no more vital work at Central. This year's Guidance Committee started out in l938 under the able leadership of Mr. Robert H. Wyatt, head of the social science depart- ment here at Central, but on November l, l938, Mr. Wyatt left our portals to take over his new position as executive-secretary of the Indiana State Teachers Association. Miss Austin, who had been on the Guidance Committee for two years, then took over its leadership. Serving with Miss Austin are: Miss Mildred Brigham, representing college preparatory Coursey Miss Esther Thomas, representing com- mercial coursep and Mr. G. M. Wilson, repre- senting industrial course. Many other teachers are aiding Miss Austin in the varied tasks of the Guidance Committee: Miss Amy Barnes, Mr. Ralph Virts, Miss Emma Adams, assisting in interviews: Mr. Willis Rich- ardson, Mr. Russell Earle, Miss Rosza Tonkei, Miss Virginia Kinnaird, planning group pro- grams: Miss Marian Ingham, Miss Kinnaird, revising the blue book: Mr. George Russell, Mr. Maurice Ashley, Mr. Earle, Miss Ingham, planning vocational talks. Throughout the entire school year, Miss Austin and her helpers have been busy send- ing questionnaires to each student in the home rooms. They have had several hundred inter- views with students who have failed in one or Page Fzfty Jive more subjects, students interested in coIIege scholarships, and with pupils who need pro- gram changes. lVIuch of the attention of the Guidance Com- mittee is given to vocational interests. Records are kept of each Seniors training, experience, and vocational choice, so that when a certain type of job arises, the student most suited is recommended. The questionnaires that are handed out in home rooms were collected after gathering much information and kept on file so that any employer can find out a few char- acteristics of his applicants. Vocational inter- est tests were given to several hundred students, and in April a series of vocational talks were presented for Iuniors and Seniors. Thirty business men and women from various fields, discussed positions and answered ques- tions of students. ln addition to this, the Guidance Committee had charge of Back-to-School-Day in Novem- ber, at which time the parents took the places of the students. At the assembly meet, six skits were given which were followed by a discus- sion on guidance. These various enterprises of the Guidance Committee have helped many students here at Central in obtaining a position, building up their character, and in aiding them in choosing a vocation, and also in preparing them for it. The Guidance Program has furnished aid to many students this year as Miss Austin has proved to be an efficient leader and an under- standing helper to all the students here at Central. f f Liitin out?

' Page Fifty szx 1200 Page Fifty-seven E Q Crowds of students gather to read all the latest news-it's the democratic way. , 3 E f e 3 fs-. A ' ' By BURDELLA FELTS America is the land of opportunity. She is a land of opportunity because she is a democracy. She is a democracy because we have kept her democratic. lt is up to us to keep her democratic. We know the meaning of democracy and we realize a little of its value. We have confidence in this democratic system of ours, and if we have suf- ficient confidence in any idea, we can successfully put our idea across. And our greatest dispenser of confidence in high school is our extra-curricular clubs. When we were mere Pre-shies we looked with awe at those upperclassmen who had enough cour- age and confidence in themselves to act as chair- man of a discussion group, or as President of a club. As for those public speakers-well, they were un- believable marvels! We could never hope to reach such heights. Then we joined a club: we were asked to serve as chairman of a minor committee. Dubiously we consented and, lo and behold, we liked it. Later we rose to chairmanship on more important com- mittees. We were finally nominated for President of a club- veni, vidi, vici! Then one day, we reached the acme of daring-we actually walked on the gym floor and spoke to an indulgent student- body. When it was over, we suddenly realized that we had not been frightened. We had forgotten the meaning of fear. Pear should have no place in anyone's mind- certainly it should be an unknown quantity in a democracy if it is to be a successful democracy. Through the medium of our extra-curricular clubs, we have been taught the uselessness of fear and the value of confidence. We know that if our democracy is to succeed, it must be backed up by confidence. Others may not have learned this-but we know, don't we?

THE PRESS CLUB ALWAYS EATS Confound these potluckslu and looking around to see who has uttered these highly en- lightening words, we see Harold Masursky, managing editor of the Spotlight and one of the Press Club members, sitting on the top step of the stone steps outside the Spotlight office, trying to open a can of beans by pounding them violently against the steps. He had for- gotten a can opener and was suffering the con- sequences inflicted by the Press Club president, Burdella Pelts, of opening the can or not eating. The club always has a potluck when it meets, the first Tuesday of each month, and many good times are enjoyed by its members who are honored by membership in this club for students participating in journalism. The Press Club was started in the spring of l937, but the first meeting was not held until November 3 of that same year, and from that time on this has been one of Central's best clubs. lt encourages staff unity by fellowship with monthly gatherings to forget work and aid the Central publication staffs to get closer to- gether. The preamble of the constitution states this very clearly when it says To encourage better journalism, to promote staff unity, and to increase interest in the publications. Page Fifty-nine Membership in this organization is highly prized by students of journalism as it means they are active on either the Caldron or Spot- light staffs and have, by their good work, earned a place on what might be termed the Central publication Roll of Honor. Until recently, to become a member, all a student had to do to get into this club was to be well liked, have a good reputation as a worker, and have at least one year's service on one of the publications. This, however, was changed by an amendment to the club's constitution, which changed the membership. Now, all one has to do to become eligible is to have the highest number of points on the Spotlight staff, or be agreed on by the consultation of the adviser, business manager, and editor, if he is from the Caldron staff. At the present time there are twenty-one members. Mr. Cleon Fleck and Miss Marian Ingham are the advisers. Some very interesting programs have been presented at the meetings. Speakers, prom- inent in newspaper work, such as Miss Neva Williams, society editor of the News-Sentinel, and Mr. Emery Applegate, editor of the farm page, give the members many new ideas per- taining to journalism. THEY COUNT T0 TWENTY-FIVE Twenty-five years old and still going strong! To the members of the Mathematics Club, this year, being the twenty-fifth anniversary of the club's founding, proved to be one of un' usual activity and celebration. The club was founded by Mr. D. W. Werremeyer on Decem- ber 4, 1913. To commemorate this silver anniversary, the club, which is the oldest high school organiza- tion in Fort Wayne, held a banquet at the Young Women's Christian Association build- ing on December 8, l938. Robert Duell, Presi- dent, served as toastmaster. The speakers and their subjects were as follows: Mr. Fred H. Croninger, The Builders g Raymond Heine, The Math Club Triangle g Miss Mary E. Gardner, From Far and Near g lean Bergquist, Mathematics and Beauty g Byron Breininger, The Power of Matheniatics : and Mr. C. S. Cutshall, Yesterday and Today. Mr. Cutshall is Associate Professor of Applied Mechanics at Purdue University, and a charter member of the Mathematics Club. He was graduated from Central in l9l4. As a gift for this occasion, Mr. Cutshall presented the club with two books, Engineering Mechanics and Graphic Statistics. Decorations for the banquet were carried out in the club colors, red and white, and silver. The cracking of mathematical nuts was a surprise feature of the program. Music, two violins and a piano, was furnished by Marian Menze, Geary Menze, and Norma Exner, all of whom are club members. A skating party and a club picnic were two outstanding social events of the school year. About two hundred attended the skating party at Bell's Rink on March 24. Attendance prizes were given. The annual picnic, which was held this year at Poster Park in May, was a very happy event. Ball games, a treasure hunt, con- tests, and an abundant picnic supper made the afternoon a fitting climax for an eventful year. The officers for the first semester were Robert Duell, president: Mary Frances Lauer, vice- presidenty Elda Mertz, secretaryp and Sid Sterns, treasurer. Spring semester officers were Byron Breininger, president: Marilyn Heaston, vice-president: Marian Menze, sec- retaryp and Robert Hill, treasurer. The club advisers are Miss Mary E. Gardner, head of the department of mathematics: Miss Marie Christman, Mr. Charles P. Turpin, and Mr. Alvaro Ferlini. - MATH CLUB Lei! to right: first row-P. Allender, B. Slumpf, V. Robinson, V.

A club that all, with any dramatic ability, aspire to. The Student Players Club is an organization to train boys and girls to be versatile in the art of acting. The activities of this club are many and varied. At a potluck, early in October, an elec- tion of officers was held, and the new officers installed were: Tom DeHaven, president: Ralph Walda, vice-president: and Genevieve Preigy, secretary-treasurer. The officers for the second semester are: George Dean, president: Bob Cunningham, vice-president, and Lois Brower, secretary-treasurer. These people are nominated on the basis that they have the highest number of points. One acquires points by acting in school plays and directing under- classmen in activities Within the club. To join the S. P. C. a student must take a semester of dramatics and must be passing in all his curricular activities to obtain member- ship in this club. The lanuary lnitiation Play was held lan- uary 23, and was directed by Sid Sterns and Lois Brower. The main activities of the club are the three school plays. The two one-acts given in Oc- tober were: The Florist Shop, and Tune Moon. ln the first play, Lois Brower played the lead, ably assisted by Mona lane McClure, Sid Sterns, George Dean, and Edwin Falk. The second play, a romantic comedy, was done by Genevieve Freigy and Torn DeHaven. On November l8 and l9 came the time that all Seniors wait for-the Senior Play. The class of '39 presented lohn Kirkpcrtricks, The Book of Charm, a satire on the essential features of charm. Bay Heine as loe Pond, and Genevieve Freigy as lda Mae Harper, played the romantic leads with Mona lane McClure as Mrs. Harper: Lois Brower, as the neighborhood gossip, Mrs. Wilson: Sid Sterns, as lda Mae's father: and Fred Wolf, the city slicker. The play proved to be the most thrilling experience the Seniors had in their high school career. The last venture came on December 2l, when Les Miserables was brought to delight Central audiences. Sid Sterns, the convict: 'Dick Butler, the Bishop: and Maxine Davis, the sister: turned in excellent performances. Gthers were Ruth Cottingham, Wanda Ba- cine, Velma Bolinger, Mavis Bloemker, Betty Patton, and Doris Hesse. The last activity will be the lune initiation, which is held in the form of a picnic.

Anchors aweighl All aboard for every- where. To cross the sea without seeing a bit of water is an unusual achievement, but that is what the Vagabond members manage to accomplish. Because very few students ever hope to go places and see things with their own limited pecuniary means, they are given a bird's-eye view of many lands through various speakers. The Misses Mary C. Smeltzly and Esther Thomas again took over the advisership of the club, and the officers who guided the or- ganization through its first semester were Frances Graft, president: Phyllis Allender, vice- president: Margaret Beugnot, secretaryy and Harriet Nieman, treasurer. Every year Central students are invited to write up the story of their travels. The student who writes the most interesting account of his journeys is awarded the Travel Trophy. The distance traveled does not count so much as the manner in which the article is written. Genevieve Boerger was awarded the trophy last year. At the first meeting of the year, each mem- ber, including the sponsors, was called upon to give a review of their summer vacation ex- periences. See America First was the motto upheld in the second meeting, when Mr. Fred l-l. Croninger related the trip he took this sum- mer to California by way of the Grand Canyon. The land of senoritas and senors was de- scribed in full to the group by the Reverend Charles Houser of the Plymouth Congrega- tional Church. Bev. l-louser told about places he visited on his trip to Mexico last summer. Skating fans turned out in a splendid fashion for the annual skating party held December 9 at Bell's Rink. This event was enthusiastically received as usual. The Christmas party was held in the form of a potluck, and Miss Lillie Beaber, the guest speaker, narrated her ex- periences as a missionary to Persia. Several students, Ruth Duell, loan Wall, Bernadette McAleese, and Mary lane Masloob spoke of Christmas customs in many lands. At the March meeting, we really crossed the ocean as Ruth Duell and Burdella Felts read letters they had received from foreign cor- respondents in Holland. The officers who took over the helm for the spring semester were Leona Zweig, president: Lorene Bacon, vice-presidenty Mildred Fiedler, secretaryg Lela Sauers, treasurer. These offic- ials steered the club through a successful course for the remaining term. We went to sea to see the sea and many other things-all in one room.

LATIN DOESN'T GET THEM DOWN Cookie sales, parties, the Drill of the Vestal Virgins, and even feasting in Roman style, as characterized by the Virgil banquet, held at the home of Charles Rothschild, made the Latin Club one of the most active and interesting clubs in Central this year. Under the capable advisers, Miss Mary Harrah, Miss Eva McKin- nie, and Miss Florence Lucasse, the club has risen to an extremely prominent position among Central's activities. The officers for the first semester Were: presi- dent or first consul, Fred Wolf: vice-president or second consul, Betty Lou Koenig: secretary- treasurer or quaestor-scriba, Virginia Robinson. Recently elected officers for the second semes- ter are: president, Charles Rothschild, vice- president, leanne Lee: secretary-treasurer, Helen Niles. The highlight of the first semester was the Drill of the Vestal Virgins, presented before the Latin Club and the Latin teachers of Northern Indiana. Those taking part in the pageant were Betty Lou Koenig, Agnes Yarnelle, Betty Niles, Mary Frances Lauer, Vivian Martin, Ioan Dehler, Gloria Temple, Lora O'Brien, Marjorie Rohrbaugh, and Betty Stumpf. Martha lean Exner served as piano accompanist. Several other activities were prepared by the program committee, consisting of Mary Masloob and Duane lones. Talks were made Page Sixty three by the teachers concerning their ambitions, how they became interested in Latin, and their teaching experiences. A Christmas party, held in Miss Harrah's room, proved to be very enter- taining to the members. Games Were played, songs were sung to music provided by Geary and Marian Menze. Refreshments were served, and gifts were exchanged. Duane Iones, dressed in a toga, proved to be a very good Roman Santa Claus. At the last meeting of the first semester, Robert Larre Cuenta, Span- ish teacher at the Y. M. C. A., spoke about his native Porto Rico. The highlight of the second semesters activi- ties was a cookie sale, which proved very suc- cessful and profitable to the club. Charles Rothschild, president, led in the number of sales with forty-four dozen. The advisers were Well pleased with the vigor With which the members carried on the sale and the fine re- sults. The Latin Club Was honored by being the first organization to hold a meeting in the new building. The Latin Club is one of the youngest organi- zations in Central, but has made great progress since it was formed in l933. Year after year, more students become interested in Latin, so that now the Latin Club has taken its place among Central's foremost organizations, THEY ALWAYS SCORE A HIT Batter up, and play ball! When the fall semester opened, the score was totaled and some sixty students with a batting average of three A's and no grade lower than a B were honored for their achieve- ment with admission to the local Honor Society. The members of this group are consistent hit- ters in the scholastic line-up. ln the initial meeting of the group, election of officers held the spot light and the starting line-up finally selected was Burdella Felts, president: E. Allen Charlton, vice-president: and Evelyn Doenges, secretary-treasurer. Act- ing as managers of the organization, Miss Mary l-larrah and Mr. R. K. Butler again served as sponsors. Pinch-hitting at the last moment, Mr. Willis Richardson of our Social Science Department, literally hit a home run when he spoke on Honor at the October meeting of the club. Taking her stand at the plate, Miss Virginia Kinnaird, another member of our faculty, made a hit as she narrated her adventures while traveling in the Scandanavian countries. On this tour she visited the ancient castle where Shakespeares MacBeth is supposed to have lived. Back-to-school day interferred with the No- vember meeting, so that particular inning was postponed. Coming to bat in lanuary, Reverend Howard Brown of the Forest Park M. E. Church made a triple when he reviewed the three ways in which America may keep out of war. War and Peace were his subjects. At this meet- ing it was also decided to renew the subscrip- tion to the Student Life Magazine for one year. With the building of the new addition, the need for new equipment arose. So the club donated fifty dollars towards the new club- rooms. Captain Taylor, a fingerprint expert from the Fort Wayne Detective Bureau, knocked the ball for a clean single as he demonstrated the value and power of fingerprinting in catching crimi- nals and also in everyday use. For their own protection, private citizens should be finger- printed, advocated the speaker. ln there pitching were the officers for the spring semester: Robert Duell, president: Har- old Masursky, vice-presidentg and Bill Bailey, secretary-treasurer. These officers led the so- ciety to a top position in the league of honor. HONOR SOCIETY Left to right: lirst row-H. Musursky, P. Allender, B. Felis, Miss Mary Hurrah, Adviser: Mr. R. K.

' 1 llll Page Sixty-four ' THEY MAKE FRIENDS THE WORLD OVER Fifty girls all doing the same thing. These girls are trying to promote fellowship and goodwill. They are working for a closer re- lationship between the girls of Central High School. The Friendship Club is an organiza- tion that is connected with the Y.W.C.A. Since the beginning of the school year they have had as their topic, You, We have had many speakers and interesting topics dis- cussed. One of these topics was You and Your Appearance. This was discussed by Miss Bronston of Wolf :Sf Dessauer. Another speaker was Mrs. Houser, who spoke on Charm. After each of these talks, interesting discussions were led by the speakers. Other topics were led by the members of the club. Dorothy Schmidt and Helene Wolf had the topic You and Your Boyfriendug Betty Ann Boss led a program on You and Your Girl- friend g another was under the leadership of Louise Kruckeberg and Mary Lou Berkey, and was called You and Your Personality. These are only a few of the interesting meetings we have had. The club held a meeting-party almost every time a holiday was observed. There were meetings held for Thanksgiving, under the leadership of Marian Lindernan, and a Christ- mas party led by Edna Boland and Lavelda Seiling. A Valentine party with Martha Gause as chairman, and a St. Patrick's Day party with Dorothy Korn and Frances Graft as leaders. The Friendship Club held a few activities. Among these were a skating party at Bell's Rink on lanuary sixth, and a joint dance with the North Side and South Side Girl Reserve Clubs. This was held after the Sectionals in the North Side Cafeteria and was called the Tournament Twirl. Another one of our activi- ties was a Mother-Daughter Tea held at the Y on April sixth. The Friendship Club is a club that makes friends all around the world. The projects the club has undertaken have been the filling of a suitcase for a small Spanish boy between the age of five and eight. This suitcase contained toys and other useful articles brought in by the girls. When we work on one of these projects, the same project is being done all over the United States. The Friendship Club is going to wait on table at all banquets held by our school. , The officers for the fall semester were: Velma Koorsen, president: Betty Ann Boss, vice-presi- dentg Betty Siebold, secretaryg Phyllis Allender, treasurer. For the spring semester: Velma Koorsen, presidentg Dorothy Korn, vice-presi- denty Mary Lou Berkey, secretaryg and lean Arthur, treasurer. Miss Vera Pence, our capable adviser, has helped us in every way possible. FRIENDSHIP Left to right: first row, seated-M. Lindeman. D. Schmidt. M. Prezbindowski, M. O'Shuughnessey, B. I. Burgess, D.

Smash! Wham! ln case some of you don't recognize that lt is also the annual fete of the Boosters to take care of the Valentine pep session. This noise, its merely 3:15 in room 328 and the chairman of the Booster Club is pounding the gavel for order. Boosters! Thats what every student of Cen- tral wants to be eventually. lust as the name implies, the Boosters are the Central students who lead in boosting the activities here in Central. Every year an advisory council, elected by the old members of the club, meets with the adviser, Miss Mildred Brigham, and selects members for the following year's club. This year at the first meeting, the club elected Dick Van Camp for their chairman, and he then appointed his secretary, Betty Payton. The Boosters are busy from fall until spring. Their activity begins with the football season. The candy, chewing gum, weiners, coca-cola, and decorations which all of us enjoy at the games, are provided by these Boosters. ln the fall of every year, a banquet is held. This year with Martha Gause and lean lunk as co-chairmen, each member was compelled to make a speech lasting until chairman Van Camp turned on the alarm clock. At the end of the football season, the club sponsors a dance, the Tiger Mixer, which hon- ors all the football players. Bob Cunningham was elected to head the committees for this year's dance. year, with Genevieve Freigy and Betty Payton as chairmen, thirteen Senior girls dressed in red skirts with white aprons and on roller skates, distributed heart-shaped boxes of candy to all the basketball players, as well as Mr. Abbett, Mr. Croninger, Mr. Dilts, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Bailhe, Miss Brigham, Mr. Mendenhall, Mr. Dornte, Dr. E. A. King, Geary Menze, and the Varsity cheer leaders, Dick Van Camp, Bill Latz, and Everett Schmidt. One of the most outstanding things in a Boosters mind is the enjoyment, as well as work, that they have when, as this year, Cen- tral is host to the Sectional Tournament. Dressed in special blue and white costumes, the sellers show their ability as contortionists in covering the gymnasium to satisfy the wants of the Hoosier basketball fans. With the termination of the basketball sea- son, the Boosters again held a dance, the Tiger l-lop, in the new cafeteria. lo Freigy, chairman, and the committees selected Rhap- sody in Blue for this year's theme, which was made very outstanding by the blue cellophane decorations. ln lune, after graduation, the Boosters' an- nual all-day picnic is held at some nearby lake. Every Booster returns home looking for castor oil and sunburn cream, but no one has any regrets. Pa e Szxty szx 1 A , fag SW Y Y . v I Lett to right: first row-1.

Thats the second weiner l've lost in the fire, shrieked a typical Central Triangle Club lass as she sought in vain to toast her Weiner to perfection at the annual bake held during September, l938, in Foster Park. Many a girl experienced fun and excitement, not only during this special event, but also at the many other semi-monthly club meetings. Fun galore popped from every corner as the Central Triangle Club held its annual Hal- loween party within the historical walls of Central's old cafeteria. The Christmas party with an exchange of gifts, and Christmas delicacies served as refreshments also pro- vided an enjoyable afternoon for the girls. The spring semester found the girls partici- pating in a rollicking Kid party. The many types of dresses caused even the most dis- tinguished member to forget she was either a Freshman or Sophomore and venture forth into worlds of the past. The annual Valentine party went off with a bang with its usual good time, while the St. Patricks Day meeting could boast of entertain- ment comprised of tap and toe dancing, ac- cordian duets, tumbling, and piano solos by several club members. Banking highest on the list of club activities was the Mother-Daughter Tea held during the latter part of May. Mothers of the members were held as honor guests during this meeting while their daughters served to acquaint them with various projects and activities of the club. During the course of the school year, as in previous years, CTC girls united to send two large suitcases to Spain. These suitcases, filled by members, contained many articles in- cluding games, paper dolls, and clothing for a child of about eight years. Club officers for the first semester of the l938-l939 season, comprised: Mary Baum- baugh, presidentg Suzanne Collias, vice-presi- dentp Helen Adler, secretary, Marlowe Bruot, treasurer: Beatrice Mee, Leona Zuber, Evelyn Doenges, Mavis Bloemker, and Doris Murphy holding minor offices. Second semester leaders were: Evelyn Doe-nges, president: Suzanne Collias, vice- presidentg lanice Cunningham, secretaryg Dona Mae O'Shaughnessey, treasurer. Other offices were held by Betty Bohde, Marlowe Bruot, Dorothy Dietel, Mary Ann Mohr, Betty Blauvelt, and Helen Niles. The Misses Leah Austin and Catherine lack- son extended untiring efforts in' making the Central Triangle Club an organization of which its members are very proud.

Such a remark might have been made by anyone passing Miss Brown's room one evening when the Delvers Club was in session. Several members of the club were presenting a play in which the main char- acters were William Shakespeares ghost and a prop man on the Warner Brothers' lot. That was only one of the many unique pro- grams that the club has had. There have been trips to the radio station and the movies, inter- views with famous people, and many other kinds of entertainment. Delvers Club was organized in September, 1935, by Miss Brown for her Freshman and Sophomore girls. Her main purpose was to stimulate interest and appreciation in English. One requirement for membership was made, however. To be a member a girl must not fall below a B average in English. When the club was organized in September of 1935, Ieanne Fox was elected as the first president. The members being determined to have only the most satisfactory and suitable name for the club, and not finding one to meet all requirements, the club was not named until December lU of that year when a prominent member, lean Bergquist, suggested the name Delvers, since one purpose of the club is to delve into its chosen subjects. The name met Pabe Sixty nine with hearty approval from Miss Brown and all the members, so Delivers it has always re- mained. Each semester the club chooses a subject into which to delve, All the meetings, pro- grams, and even the games are held with this topic as a basis. For the first semester this year the subject chosen was the popular Movies, and the topic for the second semester was Personality, The two most important social events each year are the Christmas party and the Mother- Daughter Tea which is held in May. ln standing with the best, Delvers has a con- stitution which dictates many of the activities of the organization. ln accordance with the Delvers constitution, meetings are held every two weeks after school on Tuesdays, and offi- cers are elected at an election meeting held at the end of each semester. The officers are the president, vice-president, secretary, and the treasurer. Ieanne Lee served as president of the club for the semester, starting in September, with Suzanne Collias as vice-president, Marjory Prange as secretary, and Evelyn Doenges as treasurer. At the potluck-election meeting on lanuary lO, l939, Suzanne Collias was elected president, Doris Patton, secretaryg and Betty Bohde, treasurer for the next semester. ' v' 3 E i I 1 . ? HI-Y FEATURES AIRPLANES. SWEETHEARTS Create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. That is the pledge to which approximately seventy lunior and Senior boys of Central have subscribed. The Hi-Y, being the second oldest organiza- tion in the school, boasts of many proud achievements. Byron Doenges is secretary- treasurerp and Robert Bienz, second vice-presi- dent of the Northern lndiana Hi-Y Conference. All lunior and Senior boys are eligible to join Hi-Y. Meetings are held every Monday at the Y. M. C. A. Speakers are brought in and give educational, vocational, inspirational, and other talks of interest. Mr. Maurice Ashley led one of the most interesting discussions on the boy and his date which proved very beneficial as well as educational. Mrs. F. L. Moore, a collector of philosophical sayings and creeds of many famous men such as Will Rogers and the Duke of Windsor, provided an interesting program. Mr. Willis Richardson led several discussions as well as giving several inspiring talks. Russell Buchan, member, gave an inter- esting report on his trip to Berea, Kentucky, to attend the National Hi-Y Congress last sum- mer. He remarked that the outstanding char- acteristic was the pure Christian-like at- mosphere that prevailed during the Congress. Every state in the union as well as from some territories were represented. HI-Y A team composed of Central Hi-Y members reached the finals of the Y. M. C. A. Christmas Basketball Tournament. The Hi-Y sponsored George Campbell, nationally-known song leader, at one of the school assemblies. Several interesting talks were given on avia- tion and airplanes in general by such authori- ties as Captain Clarence Cornish, of the municipal airport, and Bob Schott, of the News- Sentinel. Socially, the club holds about two programs a semester. During the fall a successful Weiner bake was held at the old Robinson Park. A skating party was also held. During the spring semester, two outstanding social activities were presented. The Sweetheart Banquet, in charge of Herb Knothe and lohn Lewton, was held at St. Paul's Hall. The annual spring get-together of the members and their dates was held at the Y. M. C. A. Camp on Blackman Lake. The officers for the first semester were: presi- dent, Dick Van Campy vice-president, Dick Butler: secretary, Herb Knothey treasurer, Paul Moelleringp chaplain, Maurice Deatrickg sar- geant-at-arms, lohn Lewton.

This is the slogan of the Central Torch Club, which is a Iunior division of the Hi-Y, and a popular boys' club for Freshmen and Sopho- mores. Mr. Maurice Ashley is the sponsor of this club, which developed ten years ago as a result of the demand for a Y. M. C. A. af- filiate for Sophomore and Freshmen boys. Membership is limited in any one semester to thirty-five. During the calendar year, l938-1939, the club had a total membership of 80. The purpose of this club is to create, main- tain and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. lt also extends the opportunity for boys to meet leaders of our social, scientific and industrial world. The club devotes its time to developing school citizenship and self-citizenship and self-development. Meetings are held every Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. Speakers, dis- cussions, industrial hikes, dinners, and informal parties make up the programs. During the year the club heard talks by ministers, lawyers, police, scientific and in- dustrial leaders. They also visited the armory, different factories, newspaper plants, museums, the post office, the Holsum Bakery, and other important civic centers. The Torch Club endeavors to furnish two auditorium programs a year for the school, and also holds an occasional dance and skating party. As a sprinter starts off in a race, so the Torch Club started with a burst of speed. As these members of speed rounded the second meet- ing, the club was opened to its fullest extent. As the last curve was rounded and the tape appeared in sight, an additional burst of speed put this special organization across the tape with two wins. The Armistice Day program and a Courtesy Program, the latter being held during Courtesy Week, were the two outstand- ing feats of this organization. Besides the above mentioned, numerous other programs were sponsored and presented with as much clarity and efficiency. This is the only organi- zation in Central High School which excludes all but Freshmen and Sophomores. Missing a meeting is something to be dreaded by the boys for the fear always lurks in the anterior part of these homo sapiens anatomy that some- thing Worth their knowing, which would prove very beneficial to them as members of the com- munity, would be missed. , Officers of the club are elected each semes- ter. Officers of the first semester were: presi- dent, Charles Shaw: vice-president, Harold Brown: secretary, Robert Blossom: and treas- urer, Bobert lesse. Last semester the officers were: president, lames Cberlinp vice-president, Kenneth Ahlers- meyerg secretary, William Becker: and treas- urer, Bobert lesse.

HEY ARE INSPIRED BY HOOSIER LAND They know the answers! Eager to learn more about their native fron- tier, enthusiastic Hoosiers get together every fourth Thursday of the month and literally speaking, take apart lndianas historical skele- tons. Local History was chosen as the theme for this year's program. Many interesting talks and tours have been presented about this subject. At the first meeting, Mr. Willis Richardson pointed out and described the beautiful parks located near our city. Miss Kathryn Troxel re- lated colorful experiences of pioneer life in Fort Wayne. ln October the members of the club were conducted through the Fort Wayne Historical Museum. Mrs. Frank Roberts, a prominent leader in our city, gave an illus- tration comparing primitive life in lndiana with life in lndiana today at the November meet- ing. Preceding the tour through the Lincoln Museum, Miss Virginia Kinnaird, a history teacher at Central, spoke on Lincoln's youth in lndiana. This talk made the trip to the mu- seum in lanuary more advantageous. The first social event of the club was the traditional fall Weiner bake at Foster Park. After the bonfire which occurs the night before the South Side-Central game, the Bonfire Shuffle was presented in the Boys' gym. The success of the dance resulted from the enthu- siastic assistance of the members. A Christ- mas party was given at Anita Leonards home. Mr. Willis Richardson's singing was the most outstanding feature of the party. A spring pic- nic at Poster Park concluded the social activ- ities. The service work performed by the club in- cluded a Thanksgiving and Christmas basket given to needy families. The purpose of the lndiana Club is to teach the members about the history and study of Indiana. Mr. Richardson has been the adviser of the organization since its origin. This year Miss Kathryn Troxel, who recently became a member of the faculty, Was chosen by the club to serve as co-adviser. Officers elected for the first semester Were: Maxine Larimer, presi- dent: Pat Sheehan, vice-president, and Frank- lin Boggs, secretary-treasurer. For the second semester Eugene Bahr was elected president: Pat Sheehan, vice-presidentp and Franklin Boggs, secretary-treasurer. There are no specific qualifications pertain- ing to History required in the lndiana Club. Page Ser enlv two SOROSIS Lett to right: seated-B. Stetier, B. Closson, A. Meyer. L.

THEY READ BO0KS.iHEAR SANDBURG I was born August l5, l887, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. l spent most of my childhood in Wisconsin where I was graduated from the high school at the age of seventeen. My grad- uating essay attracted the attention of the local editor, and I received a job on the Appleton Daily Crescent. l continued my reportorial ex- perience with the Milwaukee lournal and later the Chicago Tribune. This brief summary of Edna Ferber's life, along with the lives of other famous authors, may be heard by any passer- by going through the halls of Central on an afternoon when Sorosis is in session. The word Sorosis means a woman's club. This particular club was founded at Central High School in l9l4 for Iunior and Senior girls whose scholarship grade was The pur- pose of the club is to stimulate an interest in reading current literature and to provide a profitable way of spending leisure hours. When the club Was founded, there was evi- dently a large membership, for the constitu- tion stated that the number of members was to be limited to seventy. As the years went on, however, and more and more clubs of various kinds were established at Central, not so many girls joined Sorosis, and the number who are interested in literature for its own sake, during the present year, is comparatively small. The club meetings gain something, it seems, from this very fact. ln their intimate circle, with Page Seventy-th ree informality as a keynote, the members are able to exchange many interesting ideas and to glean much of the value from the authors whose work they read and discuss. Using the wealth of material provided by contemporary writers, Sorosis devoted their programs during the first semester of l938-l939 to forms of litera- ture, beginning with poetry at the first meeting, reading short stories at the second, and essays at the third, and so on. During the second semester the work of one author was the sub- ject of the talk of one meeting, such an author as Iames Matthew Barrie or Edna Ferber. One meeting was given to creative writing, or rather to the reading of poetry, written by the members. Bonnie Closson, in particular, read several original poems. Before the girls went to hear Carl Sandburg talk, at the Civic Theatre on February 7, they read again some of his poetry, in preparation. This year was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Sorosis, and if there had been money enough in the treasury, the club would have liked to arrange a proper celebration, but at the time of the writing of this article no defi- nite plans had been made. The officers who led Sorosis for the two se- mesters of 1938-l939 were: president, Anita Meyerp vice-president, Gladys Hunt: secretary, Bonnie Clossong treasurer, Lola O'Brien. Miss Katherine Welch was the faculty adviser. 3 at pf it :S , fi i 1 'Q 2 t 1 ' - V ---e - f W- -- THEY GIVE COLOR T0 CENTRAL A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Bearing in mind the ultimate aspiration of this cultural and social organization, to create and maintain an appreciation for finer art, the above quotation may well be the motto of Central's Art Club, which meets the third Mon- day of each month in the art room with the Misses Mary Helen Ley and Ruth Wilkening, art instructors, as advisers. At the beginning of the fall semester, the members met and elected officers for the en- suing year. These selected are: president, Mary Prezbindowskig vice-president, Ieannette Kelloqqi secretary, Suzanne Colliasg and treas- urer, Maurice Deatrick. The activities for the semester were launched when the club sponsored a style show in Oc- tober for the benefit of the faculty and students in the auditorium. Miss Rose loseph, Wolf and Dessauers, was in charge. As it has been the custom of our artists to decorate the second floor hall with a huge Christmas tree and festooned silver stars, deer, and flowers placed along the bannisters at Yuletide season, this year was no exception. Central's corridors were transformed into grandeur truly symbolic of Christmastide. The Valentine Tea Dance, an annual affair, was held February lO, in the girls' gym, featured Bob Yaney and his eight-piece or- chestra, and scored a hit with all who attended. The gym was lavishly decorated with large valentine silhouettes, hearts, bows and stream- ers, and a large bronze paper circle with two hearts pierced by an arrow in keeping with the motif. Theodora Collias and lulia Ann Cowan served as co-chairmen. At the March meeting the group enjoyed an interesting crayon lecture given by Mr. Wil- liam White, Central printing instructor, who has studied art for five years. ln his lecture, Mr. White stressed the principles of composi- tion, graduation, concentration and perspective. Mr. De Merle Lemert, prominent Fort Wayne air brush artist for the Quimby Theatres and former art student of Miss Ley, was a guest at the April meeting. Mr. Lemert demonstrated principles of using an air brush. Mothers of the art club members were guests at a style show and tea given at Patterson- Fletcher's clothing store in May. Smart, youth- ful spring clothes for girls and boys were modeled by members of the club. Mary Prez- bindowski was chairman of the affair with Rivah Hassan, lulia Ann Cowan, Suzanne Col- lias, and Maurice Deatriclc assisting. This year the Art Club donated text books and an air brush which are to be put in use next semester by the art department. A weiner bake held at Foster Park brought to a close the many interesting activities of this popular organization. ART CLUB Left to right: first row-S. Collins, M. Kuhl, R. Hassan, I. Cowan, V.

Page Seventy four ll-- WE STUDY FRENCH AND LIKE IT l'aime beaucoup le Francais. Cl like French very muchl say the many French students who belong to the French Club. This new club was begun by popular de- mand of thirteen loyal French students on the thirteenth of September, l938. The club, which meets every other week, has had six outstanding meetings. ln the early part of the semester, Miss Brigham, with the help of several members of the club presented a small play entitled The Feast of the Kings, after which cake and coca-cola were served. During the Yuletide season, Sarah Stettler, Marian Menze, and Geary Menze helped cele- brate a solemn program by playing the violin and violoncello, and Buth Cottingham sang. Early in the new year, a program was set aside entirely for the dedication of a new piano, During the feast of the Mardi Gras a meeting was set aside for this celebration. Pancakes, sirup, and milk were served. Mr. Gaston Bailhe, who was born in Bordeaux, France, spoke to the French Club members on his childhood in France, and also on his musical studies in this country. On the thirteenth of March the members of the club were invited to visit the South Side French Club. A special puppet show and a movie were presented. Donald Blossom was elected president for the first semester, Agnes Yarnelle, viceepresi- dentp Marilyn Heaston, secretary: Dawn Van- Buskirk, musiciang Anne Hogan, the music di- rectory and the program committee consisted of Evelyn Keefer and Norma lean Kennedy. ln the second semester Donald Blossom was re- elected president, Theodora Collias, vice-presi- dentp Orla McCutcheon, secretaryy Dawn Van- Buskirk, musiciang and the program committee, Suzanne Collias and Chester Krasienko. ln order to be eligible to join this club one must take a year of French, although a few having received a B or above in French have been taken in while still in the QA class. The first members of the club were: Anne Hogan, Mary Ann Mohr, Donald Blossom, Evelyn Keefer, Marilyn l-leaston, Norma lean Kennedy, Betty Patton, Suzanne Collias, Agnes Yarnelle, Dawn VanBuskirk, Gertrude Clem, Ethyel Bose Hoffman, and Barbara Crothers.

To make clear and understandable our theme, it will be necessary to explain the five attributes of the average intelligent high school student, which enable him to make an integral part of himself an appreciation of democratic ideals and ways of lite. Foremost ot these attributes is an eager cooperation between teacher and pupil, guide and guided. Wise and experienced faculty members ever are eager to help budding citizens. Under such warming tutelage the mind ot the student grows and blooms, ever invading new territories to claim as a province. A natural outgrowth of such a blossoming will be a wider and more varied interest in the world of ours, evidenced by the ability with which extra-curricular activities are pursued. A sane mind in a sound body holds true at Central, which neglects no opportunity for develop- ment of physical welfare. Finally, the spirit developed in the minor World is a useful one in the greater battles ahead-a spirit of cooperation and goodwill, and under- standing of the tact that there are problems, and a willingness to tackle these problems. l Page Four ACTIVITIES By BURDELIQA FELTS 1 Hey, Ieanne, there's a Caldron meeting tonightl' All right-l'll be there. Such organizations as the Caldron, the Spotlight, Quill and Scroll, Press Club, the Student Council, National Forensic League, the Band and Orchestra, are a vital part of our extra-curricular activities. From these activities we gain much. We are taught to be dependable: we learn to accept re- sponsibility. Through this medium we also meet many new friends. And if one wishes to look at these ad- vantages from a purely egotistical point of view, it is apparent that by joining any one of the above activities, we, ourselves, become better known. And as we become better known, we leave ourselves wide open to receive awards and honors. We are taught to co-operate and live with others, regardless of race or color. A boy of Iewish descent and a girl of German parents work side by side to put across some project. lt happens only in a democracy! lt is very true that we gain more than we give in anyone of our activities. And as we go forth into our future life, we shall be better able to earn a living, to rneet people, and to co-operate with others in helping to make this land of ours even better because we have learned from these various activities the power we hold in this democracy of ours. And we intend to hold and enlargefthis power- for the sake of democracy-for the sake of Amer- ica-for our sake! Page Seventy szx QUILL AND SCROLL Lett to right-E. Mertz, Ed., Spotlight: I.

Page Seventy-seven By LEQNA ZWEIG Gosh, ever since I have been a Freshman, I have wanted to make Quill and Scroll. To my mind it is the highest honor I can obtain while I'm still in high school. Those people who are in it now certainly know their journal- ism. I hope I make Quill and Scroll, when I am a Senior. This might be the thought running through any underclassman's mind as he copyreads for the Spotlight or Caldron. To be elected into the Quill and Scroll is the highest honor an amateur high school journal- ist can receive. The purpose of this club is to honor outstand- ing journalists. Students who are eligible are juniors and Seniors, the former having had two years' work on publications and having a scholastic average of A and a high moral character, the latter having had one year's work on publications and having an average of B and a high moral character. The club is purely honorary and no dues are charged, and regularly scheduled meetings are not held. Those who were elected in their junior year, and started this year as members, were lose- phine Freigy, Elda Mertz, Burdella Felts, Charles Rothschild and Leona Zweig. In March, Theodora Collias and leanne Patrick were welcomed into the organization at a formal initiation at losephines home. Mr. Fleck, adviser of both publications, the Spotlight and the Caldron, and Miss Marian Ingham, former adviser of the Caldron, are honorary members. Quill and Scroll is national in organization and those who are elected into it have the chance to subscribe to a bi-monthly magazine produced by the Quill and Scroll. To its mem- bers the club also offers a gold pin, in the form of a quill and scroll and the letters I.l-I.S.H.S.j., which stands for International Honorary So- ciety for High School journalists. Quill and Scroll in Central exists to reward the individual student for commendable work in the journalistic field, whether it be in writing and editing or in business lines. It is never the size of the chapter, but its presence that is significant to the adviser and the staff. Quill and Scroll was organized April IO, 1926, by a group of high school advisers for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding in- dividual achievement in journalism and allied fields. ..- - -a,7,...-.us-..--g:., --,sx.......- -Q-.. - ,- Iecmne Patrick, Editor. THEY WORK FOR YOU By ALBERTA BULTEMEYER What is Central without the Caldron? This stall has just completed another publi- cation tor the many Central students who want something to cherish as a memory ot their high school days. The theme ot this annual is Youth in a Democracy. Mr. Cleon Fleck took over the advisership tor the first time this year, to compete with the splendid All-American annual published last year under the leadership ot Miss Marian lngham. leanne Patrick, editor, and Wanda Racine, assistant editor, began the layout early in the year with Charles Rothschild, business mana- ger, and Fred Wolf, circulation manager, aid- ing in the subscription campaign. All statt members and home room agents were given blanks to sell subscriptionsg they also sold vaudeville and dance tickets. The goal tor the subscription campaign was set at l,0OO, but the latest report revealed that l,U25 books had been sold. Bill Hanley, star Senior athlete, was high salesman of the cam- paign with a total ot 104 sales. Alberta Bultemeyer and Alice Koontz, club editors, scheduled the dates for the many club pictures to be taken, had club representatives appointed to write the stories, and also saw that the stories were handed in on time.

A photographers contest was put on by the Caldron in order to get more informal snap- shots of Centralites at work and play. The first prize was 52.50. Additional prizes of 3.50 each were awarded as consolation awards. Other members of the major staff who helped with their share of the work are: Burdella Felts, Senior editor: Rivah Hassan, lunior edi- tor: Betty Stumpf, Sophomore editor: and Vera Schmidt, Freshman editor. February l7, the Senior-Caldron Vod-vil, Stargazing, was presented under the direc- tion of Miss Eva lVlcKinnie and Mr. Russell Rowe, Senior class advisers. Publicity was taken care of by the Caldron staff. leanne Patrick, Charles Rothschild, lona Carter, Mr. Fleck, Wanda Racine, and Bob Bienz represented the Caldron at the press con- vention held in lndianapolis in November. The St. Patrick's Day T-Dance was one of the social affairs of the year sponsored by the Caldron staff. Mary Prezbindowski was ap- Paoe Seventy-nine pointed general chairman of this affair which was held Friday, March l7. Her committees were announced as follows: Orchestra, Ioan Dehler, chairman, with Doris Horn and Alberta Bultemeyer, assistants: lulia Ann Cowan was chairman of the decoration committee, with Fred ' Wolf, Rivah Hassan.

Robert Bienz was head of the ticket committee. Sid Crosley and his orchestra provided the music. After the book was returned from the en- gravers and printers, many staff workers were busy distributing the annuals to the many sub- lscribers. Then we heard f Autograph, please? May l have your autograph? and Please sign my Caldron. Even after that is finished, the Caldron is not forgotten, for many students refer back to it many times in the future to recall the happy moments which they spent at club meetings or in sport activities or the like.

For the Spot- light is Central's weekly paper, which presents the news, sports, and features of the school in a pleasant, cheerful style. We must not forget the personal items which are of great interest to every boy and girl at Central also. In the past two years, since the Spotlight has been under the supervision of Mr. Cleon L. Fleck, it has continued to improve in the number of pages it has produced. The first semester of last year seventy pages were presented to Central while the first semester of this year there were ninety-six pages. The staff for the first term was headed by Leona Zweig as the editor, and Theodora Col- lias, as business manager. The others on the major staff were: Elda Mertz, managing editor, Harold Masursky, news editor, Burdella lfelts, feature editor, George Koorsen, sports editor, and Byron Doenges, desk editor. On the busi- ness staff were: lames lslirschy, advertising manager, Bobert Eastes, circulation manager. F or the second semester, Elda Mertz received the responsibility of the editorship, and Theo- dora Collias continued in her position as busi- ness manager. Harold Masursky was ad- vanced to managing editor, Byron Doenges, news editor, Burdella Felts, feature editor, Byron Breininger, sports editor, and Maxine Waters, desk editor. Two new positions, assistant adviser and city representative, were created for the out-going editor and sports editor respectively. The student assistant aided the adviser in some of his duties and did personnel work. The city representative wrote stories about news of Cen- tral for publication in the News-Sentinel and lournal-Gazette. The point system which was started last year to keep an accurate record of the amount of work each student has been doing, has con- tinued successfully.

Along with the regular editions, the Spotlight produced many special papers, some of which were the music edition, which contained pic- tures, stories, and advertisements concerning music, and the Christmas paper, eight pages with green cover sheets. lnside the Christmas and Valentine issues were greetings from teachers, students, and friends. The dedication issue for the new building was the largest and best that the Spotlight has presented to Central, 22 pages, a four hundred dollar project. During the year several social events were held. The first week of school in September, a tea dance was held which was soon followed by a skating party at Bell's Rink. At mid-term a party was held for the entire staff in the Cafeteria, followed by a spring picnic. SPOTLIGHT, MINOR STAFF Left to right: first row-H. Meads. H. Richter. F. Bums. C. Laymon, F. Krider.

Page E ighty-one 'F' I I 6 I I WE EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS By OUR PRINCIPAL Let's put Daisy up for Student Council mem- ber of our home room. Sure, she's a good worker. Such expressions as these accompany the election of Student Council members. The Student Council at Central High School is made up of one member from each of fifty- two home rooms. They are elected by the home rooms at the beginning of each semester. Nominations are made during home room per- iod on a specified day and then each home room member casts his vote for the nominee that he feels is most suited for the Work. One can see from this that the Student Council is composed of Freshmen, Sophomores, Iuniors, and Seniors. Meetings are held once a month or at the call of the principal, Mr. Fred H. Croninger, who presides over the meeting. The purpose of this organization is to act as a pulse of the school. A doctor feels the pulse of a patient and can tell often the nature of the trouble or that there is no trouble. ln this sense, the Student Council registers the morale of the school and attempts to correct any agencies detrimental to a good school. These members are in touch with the other pupils in classes, in activities, in community and church meetings, and can correct Wrong impressions. They may notice conditions in the building as to traffic, seating, conduct in assemblies, order in the cafeteria, cleanliness of floors, for which suggestions may be made. The Student Council is also a medium Where the principal may carry his wishes and sug- gestions to the student body through these rep- resentatives to the home rooms. They may initiate projects, make suggestions for betterment, defend the school against false criticismeall of Which helps to make a good school. Many home room teachers ask their Student Council member to take roll, conduct the regu- lar safety periods, or lead discussions during that period. As a result of the actions of this group, changes have been brought about for the bet- tering of Central High School. It is hoped that the Student Council will con- tinue to act as the doctor between the student body and the principal,,and that they will meet no severe cases against which they cannot successfully compete. 3 ps, STUDENT COUNCIL Left to right: iirst row-L.

The students never stop to ponder over this question: so now the library's daily schedule is revealed to all Centralites. Shortly after the doors are opened in the morning, the library is filled with inquisitive students looking for last minute information be- fore attending classes. Delores Perckel and Bonnie Closson stamp and charge the books. Richard Haller patiently stacks the books in individual piles according to classification numbers. Robert Bienz watches at the door to see that the students have had their books properly checked. The library workers serve the students throughout the day. During the first period, Virginia Fultz and Viola Kaiser card fiction and history books and write overdues. Frank Con- nor takes care of the attendance slips. Ralph Hollman cards the books from lOO to 800 and shelves them. Iames Hirschy shelves fiction and history books. Gloria Belle Temple, Richard Halter, Frank Connor, and Marceil Saalfrank serve the 2, 3, 6, and 7th periods respectively, taking care of the roll, filing cards, and keeping the desk clear of incoming books. After school, the library resumes the same appearance as it had in the morning. Velma Bolinger, Bernadette McAleese, Marjorie Mil- ler, Rivah Hassan, lulia Ann Cowan, lean Buckrnaster, and Helen Arnold alternate at the desk, stamping books and filing cards. Carl Browning guards the door and assists in shelv- ing and straightening the books. The Library Service Club had its beginning on October l6, l936. Miss Gertrude Beierlein, our school librarian, is the sponsor of this club. All library helpers, who during the previous semester, have studied The Library Key by Sadee Brown, are members of the group. At present, there are 19 members in the club. As a reward for their invaluable service, Miss Beierlein entertains the group with two social meetings each semester. Last semester the students enjoyed a Hallowe'en Party and a Theatre Party during the Christmas season. The officers chosen for this year were Viola Kaiser, president, and Carl Browning, secre- tary. At the present time the Librarian is training a group of students who, after having com- pleted the practice sheets, will do practice work in the library. These people will then fill posi- tions left by graduating Seniors, next year. LIBRARY CLUB Lei! to right: seated-M. Saalfrank, V. Fultz. R. Bienz. F. Connor, B. Mel-Xleese. I. Buckmaster. D.

WE'RZ NOT AFRAID OF WORDS By TOM OROURKE, LOIS BRGWER, and NEVA NAGEL This year Central High School is enjoying one oi its greatest years in speech work. Mr. Russell H. Earle, our public speaking director, has spent many hours after school and aiter dinner in the evenings, working with and help- ing to develop the many students who are out tor declamation Work, extemporaneous speak- ing, and original oratory. Mr. Earle has given all students who are interested in speech work an equal chance to prove ot service to Central. To make the competition keener and more in- teresting, a number ot cups are being offered to the people who are winners in their various divisions oi speech work here at Central. Mr. Albert A. Coil, a former teacher and speech director at Central, presented the Coil Cup tor original oratory. Mr. Paul lasper, a iormer Central student and athlete has donated the lasper Cup, a cup which will go to the student who is ot the most service to Central. Another new cup is the Croninger Cup which is also a service cup. Other cups are the Reis- ing Declamation Cup and the Koerber- O'Shaughnessey Extemporaneous Speaking Cup. The National Forensic League is a very select group and all public speakers aspire to be a member ot this charmed circle. The officers tor the l938-l939 year are: presi- dent, Raymond Heiney vice-president, Lois Brower: and secretary-treasurer, Robert Duell. The National Forensic has not been very active this year because its members are busy with other speech activitiesg however, it spon- sored a potluck on February 24, in honor ot the tenth anniversary ot Central's chapter. Mr. Fred H. Croninger presided at the meeting, and Mrs. Vera C. Lane gave a short talk. These two are honorary members, while Miss Rosza 0. Tonkel, Mr. Robert S. Koerber, Sr., and Mr. Albert A. Coil are alumni members. Other members ot the organization are: Mr. Russell H. Earle, Raymond Heine, Lois Brower, Robert Duell, Melva O'Shaughnessey, Robert Cun- ningham, Rivah Hassan, David Skory, Mar- cella Bultemeier, Delores Putt, Clittord Simon, Ruth Duell, Ieanne Lee, lames Charlton, Allan Temple, and Sam Stuart. The purpose ot the National Forensic League is to give recognition to those public speaking students who have distinguished themselves in their speech activities. Page Eighty four N.F.L.

In addition to these phases of public speak- ing there are also the debate teams. The var- sity A teams, consisting of Melva O'Shaugh- nessey and Bob Duell, negative: and Delores Putt and Ed Langas, affirmative, won a goodly number of their debates. The other members of varsity debate are as followsp leanne Lee, Marcella Bultemeier, Dorothy Stolz, Neva Nagel, Ruth Duell, Margaret Beugnot, David Skory, Donald Blossom, Harry Holman, Allan Temple, Frank Connor, and Floyd Cooper. The first tournament participated in was that of the Northeastern lndiana Debate League. Central placed second in this tourney as she won five out of six debates. The next was a tri-state debate held at Wyoming, Ohio. Only Central's A teams were entered in this. They brought to Central the honor of having won six out of eight debates. The third meet was an invitational tournament held at North Side High School. All teams were entered. Ander- son and LaPorte were the next to match their contestants against Central's. The former was an invitational tourney and the latter was non- decision. In the sixth debate tournament Cen- tral tied for second place, having won four out of six debates. At Wiley, of Terre Haute, Central, having won four out of six de- t Page Ez ghty- five 4 M 'www MMV i bates, again tied for second place. Putt, Lan- gas, O'Shaughnessey, Duell, Stolz, Simon, Bultemeier, and Temple participated in a large tournament at New Albany with Mrs. Helen Conley, Miss Lodie Clark, and Mr. Earle as in- structors. On the same day a negative and affirmative team were entered in a tournament at Peru, Indiana. Single practice debates were held here at Central with Lima, Ohio, and North Vernon. W' hen the Caldron copy was turned in there were two tournaments to be run, the district tournament and the National Forensic League meet at Purdue. When any student earns twenty points, three inter-scholastic competition in any of the above mentioned types of speaking, he is then eligible to join the National Forensic League, an organi- zation for public speaking students. This or- ganization is honorary and is one of the four Central clubs which are national in their scope. We predict a brilliant future for Central's speech department as our new speech director, Mr. Earle is really making his motto, Public Speaking ls Speaking ln Public, come true with desirable results. l Y.. , ,-...din ...-.-.. ..-:4-....-f....'- .A- 1- 17, 18- 55, 56- 91, 92-109. 110-120.

I'm really proud of you. Mr. Gaston Bailhe, director of the orchestra, often makes this statement at the end of a dif- ficult piece. He is continually giving credit to the students that are in his orchestra. Mr. Bailhe has given the past nine years to building up the school orchestra and should be given full credit for its present popularity. The orchestra now boasts fifty-one members with complete instrumentation. Any Central student, boy or girl, may join this organization, by taking two or three months individual train- ing on whatever instrument they choose. Mr. Bailhe devotes many hours, during per- iods and after school, in teaching and assign- ing schedules to the different students who are interested. This instruction is free and many instruments are actually furnished with the understanding that there should be a steady improvement in the development of musical ability. This organization is growing yearly in popu- larity, as well as musically. There is an in- creasing number of students who are availing themselves of the opportunity to develop their talents at Central. The orchestra has won recognition in all parts of the state. Last year they played at North Manchester College and won the sincere praise of the officials at the music festival given there. They were the outstanding organi- zation of that meet. This year the orchestra was presented in new uniforms at the dedication of the new Cen- tral building. They are very trim and make a great improvement in the appearance of the organization. The costume consists of a white satin Russian blouse with a high neck line and long, full sleeves. The girls wear a special black wool skirt, and the boys have trousers of the same material. The matching black boleros, trimmed with a gold braid set off the entire dress. The marvelous new rooms for the music de- partment in the new building are a source of great pride for the musical director and his students who have labored under a great handicap for the last nine years, having to hold their practice sessions on the stage in the Auditorium, where many interruptions hindered their advancement. The officers of the orchestra are as follows: Eldon Baker, president: Iulia Ann Cowan, vice- presidentg Betty Payton, point recorder: and Dallas Emberlein, Louis Pooler, George Parker, and Arthur Katzemaier comprise the stage- crew.

Now, just because of you, we have to go over all that again. lf you don't do it right this time, we'll just have to forget about it, replied Mr. Bailhe. This conversation might be heard by anyone who enters a practice session of the band. Continuous growth in membership and musi- cal fitness has been the achievement of Cen- tral's band, which is under the supervision of Mr. Gaston Bailhe. By their study of music, these students are learning to find their places of study in the community and to enjoy intelli- gently their leisure time. This year, as in previous years, the band has played in concerts, for pep sessions, parades, and athletic games. At the beginning of the year, Mr. Bailhe selected Geary Menze as drum major to fill the vacancy left by Berton Bolyard. Other offi- cers of the band are: president, Sarah Stettlerp manager, Betty Paytong vice-president, Barbara Curtisp secretary-treasurer, Helen Baker: prop- erty managers, Don Nahrwold, Art Katzen- maier, Dallas Emberlein, George Parker, and Bill Vaicep instrument room, Tom Del-lavenp publicity, Virginia Robinson: and recording secretary, Betty Payton. On lanuary 13, the band traveled to Bluffton with the basketball team for the game. As Central was host of the Sectional Tourna- ment, the band played for every session. ln their brilliant blue and white uniforms, they always create a very favorable impression with the spectators. However, music is not the only ability these students possess. ln the fall, members of the Euterpean Choir and orchestra joined the band in a weiner bake near Lincolndale. December 4, 5, and 6, the members, with the aid of the P.-T. A., held a successful rummage sale. Bell's Skating Rink was the scene of a band skating party on December 23. Sarah Stettler was general chairman of the affair with the Music Council co-operating in every way. On Ianuary 15, the band sponsored a suc- cessful dance in the girls' gymnasium, after a basketball game. Betty Payton was chair- man, with Virginia Maloley acting as co-chair- man. The theme was Oskee-Wa-Wa and the entire decorations were carried out to sym- bolize Wahoo and other members of that comic strip. The band also presented a morning con- cert in the gymnasium before the student body on March Sl, and was received with much favor. The band also has representatives in the Music Council. The council meets every Fri- day after school. Left to right: first row-O. Kuhlmcm. I. Doster. B. Roemer, B. Payton. D. Nahrwold, A. Hogan. A. Martin, G. Strong. T. DeHaven. Second row-P. Welker. I.

Thompson. P. Allender, W. Dixon. I. Breedlove. G. Nicole, P. Sunday. WE HIT THE BULI.'S-EYE Why can't the girls forrn an archery club as well as the boys? asked Clara Thompson, a Iunior who found that girls were not eligible to join the boys' archery club. Upon being re fused admission to join the boys' archery club, she asked Miss Lewis and Miss Hilgemann if it was all right for the girls to form a club. They gave their consent and also suggested Miss Lodie Clark, commercial teacher, as an ad- viser. Miss Clark accepted and all that was necessary was obtaining the members. By the time the first meeting was called, there were enough members to hold an elec- tion. Clara Thompson was elected president: Geraldine Nicole, secretary: and Peggy Son- day, treasurer. The dues are twenty-five cents a semester, and the girls hold regular meetings or practice every Monday after school. Last fall the girls practiced at the Foster Park archery range, but then as it grew colder it was necessary for them to find a range inside where they might shoot. The girls were, therefore, invited to practice a few times with the members of the boys' archery club at the Craig Biscuit build- ing. The boys also helped in teaching the girls the proper way to stand, and how to aim and shoot their bow and arrow. There were a few meetings held last winter during which the members were taught the different parts of the bow and arrow, and what they were called. They also learned that certain bows must have certain weather conditions before using them, the type of arrows to use, the kind of wood the bow is made of, and what type of flax is best for shooting. Also the girls were taught how to keep score. Any girl is eligible to join if she is interested in archery. This healthful outdoor sport brings color and vitality to these sturdy straight-shooters. Even though the styles of today change so fre- quently, the styles of sports do not. The ancient sports are being revived and brought out more into the limelight. These modern Bobinhoods have challenged many opponents and have scored a winning game many times. Although they are modern in dress, etc., their rules are based upon those of the ancient Bobinhoods. As a social event of the year the club had a Christmas exchange in the lobby of the Ran- dall Hotel. During the evening there was a fortune teller, who told everyone her fortune. After the games and entertainment, refresh- ments were served. The members of the club are Geraldine Nic- ole, Rozalia Lapadat, Phyllis Allender, lane Prescott, Clara Thompson, Ieanne Breedlove, Mary Lapadat, Winifred Dixon, Velma Koor- sen, and Betty Seibold.

The five officers and Miss Meribah Ingham, club adviser, attended the Play Day at Ken- dallville in October, which was held for all city and county G.A.A. officers. After games were played and dinner served, the girls roller skated while the Kendallville high school band furnished the music. The gym exhibition, one of the main spring activities, was held April 21. Tap, tumbling, games, and relays were a part of the exhibition. The new officers are announced and the Hardick trophy is awarded at the annual ban- quet, which is held in May.

But no less can America be proud of the character and sportsmanship in- culcated into her youth by participation in sports.

Further requirements of a varsity yell leader are: earnestness, scholarship, neatness, de- pendability, rhythm, sportsmanship, and per- sonality. Every Thursday after school the yell leading class meets under the direction of Mr. Arnold or one of the varsity leaders. There are chosen from the yell leading class boys to lead at the preliminary games. The varsity yell leaders this year are Everett Schmidt, Bill Latz, and Dick Van Camp.
