Led on by a persistent search for gold, this Spanish soldier, DeSoto, was the first white man to view our present territory. Here on the banks of the Mississippi, which he had discovered in l540, he raised the cross of Christendom and proclaimed this land for the Spanish Crown. It was in l673 that in frail canoes and amid hostile savages, these two worthy French explorers, Marquette and loliet, braved the new found Father of waters. Many journeys they made into the adjacent country, and no doubt the region of Cape Girardeau was visited by them during their explorations. Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor john Ebert Erma Vogelsang Business Manager Virginia Vinyard Printed by Photography Missourian Printing Kassel's Studio and Stationery Co. Lueder's Studio T I-'EG I RA R D UT A young French ensign, Pierre Girardot, risked the hardships of the forests and danger of the Indians to establish in about 1700, the first fur trading post on what is now Cape Rock. Here he bartered with the red man and became acquainted with, all the tribes of the surrounding region. ln the course of time the post became known as Cape Girardot, furnishing the pres- ent name for our city. The publication of the Senior Class of CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Cape Girardeau, Missouri Nineteen Hundred Thirty-four Volume Sixteen FOR EWCDRD Few indeed are the towns of the Middle- west that have a more historical background than our own fair city of Cape Girardeau, for over it has flown the flags of three na- tions - Spain, France, and the United States. Inspired by this romantic past, the 1934 Girardot Staff has striven in this an- nual to rekindle an interest in the colorful history of our community and to blend with this eventful past a record of the school year. DEDICATION To those 'sturdy pioneers who braved the hardships of a new country that they might found a community characterized by a love of home and school, we dedicate the 1934 Girardot. May we carry on the torch of progress in the same lofty spirit with which it was so nobly borne by our forefathers in their struggle for the maintainance and es- tablishment of our city of Cape Girardeau. i A long, red frame house, located on the site where now stands the St. Vincent's Church, was the home of Don Louis Lorimier, who was the first commandant and governor of the Girardeau territory in 1793. CONTENTS VIEWS ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZATIONS CLASSES FEATURES ACTIVITIES ADS IZIVIEWSZ Cape Rock has long been a land mark for Cape Girardeau. Its original ruggedness and staunch indifference to the elements offer an example of strength and fortitude to students who would attain the highest goals despite the diffi- culties of their ascent. :L 1 Ti s White portals mid the early leaves of spring awaken a sense of genuine loyalty that enthralls the restless spirit. A languid picture of solemn content, filled with dreams of yesterday, goes floating by on memory clouds - so calm, so quiet, so still. The soft shades of evening fall reverently over the walls of our Alma Mater while flickring lights within sparkle merrily to passers-by, much like the beacons of guidance that are so comforting to ships at sea. f 'qw f V Q 4 , , . r- - .. k 3 W , y ,, ff, M N , I , -W -. -W - X M V f ' , t .

Then are the inner walls thrice welcome to ar- riving students, for their warmth gives a sense of security against the briskness of the outer elements. H A flag of stars and stripes floats gently in the warm breeze over the command- ing Central, which stands proudly in streaming sunshine. We are quickened with a flush of patriotism while we admire with surging emotion a scene so typically American. ADMINISTRATION The first court house was built in I8I6 near the intersection of Themis and Middle Streets. Our present building which houses the Court of Common Pleas was constructed in l85I and stands today as a memorial to justice, equality, and guidance. Thus our faculty serves in a similar capacity to guide us along paths of attainment and high ideals. 1' 5 if fs F 5 E E if X . Y 4 I fa 1 .9 e L 1 1 Superintendent and School Board V TO THE STUDENTS: i The word excelsior may be used to mean a material of curled shreds used for packing, or in a more significant sense to serve as the motto of the state of New York to mean more lofty or ever-upward. ln the latter sense it may well apply as a motto for Central and as a guide to life. This year has been one of outstand- ing improvements to the buildings and grounds with which every student is familiar. Likewise, the spirit of Cen- tral has been for higher standards and more lofty attainments and may well guide us in the days to come. Those who adopt the word in its full- est and best sense will not be disappoint- ed and will carry through the years a priceless boon. MR. WHITEFORD I Mr. VVhiteford has been superintendent of the Cape Girardeau Public Schools for nine years. ln preparation for his work he studied at the Kirksville 'Teachers College, re- ceiving a Bachelor's degree from that institution. His graduate work was done in New York University in New York City, from which he was graduated with a Master of Arts degree. Prior to his coming to Cape Girardeau, Mr. Whiteford was located at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and St. Joseph, Missouri, at which places he was head of the school sys- tem. His work as an administrator and his broad educational outlook have attracted many co-workers in the state, thus bringing about his election to the office of president and secretary of the Missouri State Teachers' Association on two occasions. During his stay here the public schools of Cape Girardeau have undergone many im- provements. The new Franklin School was built: twelve rooms and an auditorium were added to Washington: eight rooms were annexed to May Greeneg the Central annex and the school proper were connected, thereby facilitating the passing of classesg and this year Central received a new gym floor, a cafeteria and improvements on the school grounds. Be- cause of his keen interest in. public schools and community affairs, Mr. VVhiteford has been a decided asset to our public school system. BOARD OF EDUCATION Itlemljef TCFITI Expires Mr. A. M.

Prior to his coming to Central, Mr. Schultz taught at Flat River, Missourig Morning Sun, Iowag and Pontiac, Illi- nois. Mr. Schultz has so endeared him- self to the students and teachers that he has gained their respect and loyalty and the esteem of the entire community as well. Principal Our assistant principal, Mrs. Lucille Settle Naeter, has also been at Central since 1925.

Social Sciences Central College, Fayette, Missouri University of Iowa RARDOT History of the Schools of Cape Girardeau When the states west of the Mississippi River were transferred to the United States, more attention was given to education. In the Missouri district there had been, previously, only occasional schools but with continued settlement there came a higher esteem for edu- cation. With the establishing of Lutheran and Catholic denominations came the demand for parochial schools. In 1854 the Lutheran parochial school was, established and classes were held in a rented house and later in the church. The school having grown, a special building became necessary, and in 1865 a two-story brick building was erected on Themis Street on the lot adjoining the church. This structure served until 1925 when the present Lutheran school Was built. The Catholics have two elementary schools, one high school and a preparatory col- lege. A St. Mary's Catholic parochial: school was built in 1882 but was replaced in 1912 by a new building. St. Mary's also has a high school which was started in 1925 and is conducted at present in the old St. Mary's Hospital building. St. Vincent's school was constructed in 1841 and the preparatory college in 1843. The old convent, which was built in 1838, served as a girls, school for about seventy-eight years. Another institution that has been very influential in Cape Girardeau's education is our college for teachers. Established, in 1873 as the Missouri State Normal School, it was changed in 1919 to the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College. There has always been a steady growth within our public school system which accounts for the number of schools in our city. The first was the old Lorimier School, built in 1878, then jefferson School in 1904, Broadway in 1907, Washington in 1914, May Greene in 1920, and the Franklin School in 1926. The first high school in Cape Girardeau was held in the Broadway School from 1907 to 1911 and consisted of only the ninth and tenth grades. There were ten pupils in the former and three in the latter. Only four subjects, Latin, Algebra, English, and History, were taught. With increased enrollment the classes were transferred in 1911 to the Lorimier School which was built in the year 1878. A wider branch of subjects was available, with algebra, geometry, Latin, English, history, biology, physical geography, physics, music, benchwork, mechanical drawing, and domestic science from which to choose. During the next four years the following courses were added: Manual training, advanced algebra, drawing, bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, trigonometry, with the addition of Caesar and Cicero to the Latin course. In the spring of 1915 the present Central High School was completed and the pupils were more than happy to occupy such a large building. During the next few years six subjects - Civics, physics, government, Spanish, vocational agriculture, commercial English - were added tq the curriculum. With a contined growth, an annex became necessary and in 1921 it was completed. Music, manual training, biology, and commercial subjects were moved to this section of the building. In 1924, because of the overcrowdedness of the grade schools, the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades were taught here at Central, the senior division attending school in the morn- ings and the junior division in the afternoons. Added to the curriculum were French, household arts, sociology, and Missouri history. With the exception of dropping vocational agriculture in 1929, until 1930 when we adopted the present course of studies, this cur- riculum prevailed. The required subjects are: English, 4 units, History, 3 units, Math- ematics, 1 unit, Science, 1 unit, Government, X2 unit, Hygiene, Z unit, Physical Educa- tion, M unit, Electives, sn units. Our electives are: Latin, Sociology, Economics, Com- mercial Law, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Art, Vocational Home Economics, Advanced Algebra, Commercial Arithmetic, Civics, Typing, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Manual Train- ing, Mechanical Drawing, and Music. ln the music department are the band, orchestra, girls' and boys' glee club, a mixed chorus, and a general chorus class. At present there are 631 pupils enrolled at Central, and 30 faculty members are employed. -15- ,s River commerce was instrumental in the successful settlement of Cape Girardeau, for it has been the basis of our present system of industries. Be- ginning with the employment of the skiff by the early settlers and Indians, we advanced to the use of the barge and the steamboat and have now completed the accessibility of the river by the spans of our bridge. Likewise the four classes of our school represent the stages of development through which we pass to greater knowledge and higher attainment. , Q Q 1 1 l 4 ., Q DFRCI ASSM Lumbering and fur trading were the earliest occupations in the Cape Girardeau settlement. From these basic activities have sprung the range of industries which we find here today. Thus it is from our freshmen and sopho- mores that we shall build our future greatness.

The Marquette Cement Company, established in l923, furnishes a refined product in great abundance and has made our city one of the few centers of production for this com- modity. So our seniors should represent a product so refined and tested that they too can become substantial building material for our community in the future.

Here were enacted dramas by community players, Iyceums were held, and travelling troups were viewed with sincere admiration. Although the build- ing now houses the Eat Shop and a grocery store, the sight of it still brings back pleasant memories to many Cape Girardeans of the time when it gave its portion of zest to community life just as our fourteen activities add to our hap- piness at Central. Tigerettes The Tigerettes are the boosters for Central High. At games they are always there in their uniforms ready to cheer the team through to victory or defeat. At all of the major games the Tigerettes have provided for stunts or for some special event. Some of the most important occasions have been for the Lions Club, giving the Last Round-Up, and the Lions Hunt, for Armistice- Day, Washington's Birthday, and the annual Thanksgiving Day stunt. Before each important game of the year the Tigerettes give a pep assembly, where in the form of yells, song and speeches, they let the team know they are in back of them. It is an annual event of the Tigerettes to sponsor the football queen contest and she is crowned at the pep assembly before the Thanksgiving Day game. This year the Tigerettes sponsored Color Day at Central. Each student and teacher was requested to wear Orange and Black on that day. Miss Pott, Miss Williams, and Mr. Roth are the sponsors of this organization. The Tigerettes have a long history, as it was iirst organized as the Booster Club in 1922, under Miss Hoffman, the Pepizitis in 1923, the Orange-Aids in 1925, the Tiger Cubs in 1927, the Peppers in 1927, and the Tigeretteis as they are now in 1929, under Miss Pott and Miss Barnidge.

GIRARDOT RARDOT Girls' Clee Club The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs have been working together this year under the direction of Miss Rieck and have been very active in school affairs. They spon- sored Music Week, a new activity in Central, and it proved to be so successful that they plan to make it an annual occasion. 'tThe Dizzy Baton, by Carrington, was presented by the Glee Clubs in assembly, and music for both the Commencement and Baccalaureate services was furnished by these groups. The numbers sung by the Girls' Glee Club have offered the members a chance to study various composers and styles. Some of them included Dearest Lord Jesus, by Bachg Come Down Laughing Streamletj' by Sprossg Dawn, by Currang The Sea Hath Its Pearls, by Pinsutig Swansea Town, and Old English Folk Song. The Girls' Glee Club was organized in 1921 under the direction of Miss Lucille Smith and has grown to the present club with Miss Rieck as director.

Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club in coordination with the Girls' Glee Club has done much to further the appreciation of music in Central and have set as their standard only the best of music. This year members of both Glee Clubs were chosen as members of the All- Southeast Missouri Chorus, sponsored by the State Teachers College for the South- east Missouri Teachers' meeting in October. They presented various entertaining programs in assembly, participated in the April Meet at the college and as a close to their active years, supplied music for Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. Some of the pieces the Boys' Glee Club used this year were, Can't Yo Heah Me Moanin', Lord? by James, In Merry Wood, by Doctor Charles Woodg The Jolly Rodger, by Robertson, The Glory Train, by Noble Cain. The club has thirty-two members. It was organized in 1920 as the Boys' Min- strel and Glee Club, and reorganized in 1921 as the Boys' Glee Club under the directorship of Miss Pott and Mr. Caruthers.

It is now under the directorship of Miss' Rieck and has provided music for some of the most important activities at Central, includ- ing the Red Dagger Play, Senior Play, and Commencement. They presented a most interesting concert in assembly. Selections in their repertoire consisted of Fin- landia, by Sibeliusg March from Tannhauserj' by Wagnerg Sigurd Jolsatau Suite, by Grieg. The Orchestra played for the Southeast Missouri Teachers' Association at the State Teachers' College and several members were selected to participate in the All-State Orchestra in connection with the State Teachers' Association.

It has grown every year and now has a membership of fifty. During this past year the band has been very active in school affairs. They have provided music and stunts for all athletic games, and it was their loyal spirit that played a large part in all of Central's victories. They presented a very enter- taining assembly program featuring old-time music, using a few members of the Tigerettes for specialty numbers. Outside of school affairs they presented a concert for the students of the State Teachers College at chapel and have marched and played for many parades and activities Sponsored by the city.

However, the efficiency and effective- ness of the group have made it a very attractive feature of school life. Membership in the corps is a much contested honor, and the requirements include scholarship, poise, musicianship, cooperation, attitude, and school spirit. This year is the iirst time the club has purchased pins and has decided to standardize this year's design. The Drum and Bugle Corps has provided stunts for all football and basketball games and has marched in numerous civic parades during the past year.

This play was one- of the newest ones published and was very modern in atmosphere, lines, and characteriza- tion. The story revolved around the life of a reckless wealthy family who were quite perturbed by the sudden loss of their fortune. All parts were interpreted remarkably well and worked together to form a most entertaining performance.

It was the story of family life entangled by tragedy, love, comedy, and mar- riage diiiiculties.

The Fence, by S. L. Clemens, was a skit from Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, and those beloved characters were played very convincingly by the cast. Breakfast, by C. Whitefield, is contained in the volume of plays, Seven to Seventeen, by Samuel French. It portrayed family quarrels, and trials around the breakfast table and showed that father did not succeed so well as manager of his children. Grandma Pulls the Strings was a modern comedy which proved that the old- fashioned way of love-making could be used successfully even in our own times. CHARACTERS The Fem-e fS. L Clemens.

CIRARDOT clRARboT P. T. A. One of the most helpful organizations in Central ' SBQ is the Parent-Teacher Unit. The purposes of this as- ? I, 2 sociation are as follows: Q11 to understand more fully 3 :4 the plans and aims of education and how to realize Q2 5 these plans and aims, QZQ to promote child welfareg OJ to know the school, its needs, its plans, and its programs of procedure, and to be a real factor in help- ing it to meet its needs, execute its plans, and realize its programs, Q41 to link the school and the parents together and provide for better education of the par- ents at home and in school affairs, CSD to support the teachers, Q61 to supple- ment the efforts of the school board. Thus this organization gives the parents and teachers an opportunity to work together in a more understanding way for the betterment of homes, schools, and community life. This year the Parent-Teachers Association has been working on two pro- jects - the cafeteria and a campaign for larger membership. The influential interest of the unit was greatly responsible for the building of the cafeteria. Dur- ing the campaign, membership was increased from eighty to two hundred and l eight, which alone shows the growing interest in che organization. Among the activities of the year were the serving of the National Honor Society banquet, the Alumni Dinner, helping to support several boys and girls who wished to continue with school, and the sponsoring of several special meet- ings, among which were Dad's Night and a meeting in which Dr. W. P. Dear- ing of Oakland City College in Oakland City, Indiana spoke on The New Edu- cation for the New Day. OFFICERS President - - ---- Mrs. Rush H. Limbaugh lst Vice-President - - - Mr. L.

The society has been organized since 1921 and it has always put before the students high standards of honesty, initia- tive, capaciy, and loyalty.

The chapter at Central was organ- ized in 1929 by Miss Rhoda Conrad. The Quill and Scroll Society has, from its beginning, sponsored contests in different fields of creative work. The society promotes research and conducts sur- veys in the field of high school journalism to determine the types of publications best suited to high schools, and to standardize the instruction in this field. Membership into the society is limited to those who meet with the following requirements: Q15 they must be of at least Junior standing, Q23 they must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing at the time of their selectiong Q33 they must have one hundred and fifty column inches printed in school publications, Q41 they must be approved by the national secretary-treasurerg Q53 they must have done superior work in some phase of journalism or creative endeavor. The organization, although comparatively new, has fifty-five members and has done much to promote the best in creative work and establish an active interest in the school publications.

Debate Squad The Debate Squad was Ilrst organized in 1920 and has continued building until it has developed into a very worth-while and educational activity of the school. This year for the third consecutive year, Central won the group championship. In this contest debates were as follows: Central vs. Training High ----- ---- C entral 3-0 Central vs. Fruitland ------------ Central 3-0 Central participated in two district debates with the following decisions: Central vs. Wardell ------------ Central 3-0 Central vs. Puxico ------------- Puxico 2-1 Central also won the Extempore Debate Contest at the April Meet with Rush Limbaugh as the contestant. However, one of the greatest honors acquired by the squad during the past season was membership in the National Forensic League, a nationad organization having chapters in thirty-eight states. Each school must fulfill certain regulations before being granted a charter. The charter members at Central are Rush Limbaugh, Virginia Vinyard, Irene Smith, Charles Cofer, Jack Oliver, and Bill Miller. Rush Limbaugh, Lehman Finch, and Charles Cofer were granted the Degree of Excellence, Virginia Vinyard and Jack Oliver were awarded the Degree of Honor, and Bill Miller received the Degree of Merit. All degrees were awarded through the National Forensic League, The Debate Squad attended the National Forensic League Tournament at Marshall on March 9 and 10 and were eliminated in the semi-finals of the debate. The debates in the order they were held are as follows: Centnal vs. Lexington ----------- Lexington 2-1 Central vs. Osborne ----------- - Central 2-1 Central vs. Fayette - - Central 3-0 Central vs. Carlton - - - - - - Central 3-0 Central vs. Lexington ---- ------- L exington 2-1 In the oratorical contest, held during the tournament, Bill Miller advanced to the second round.

IT GIRARDOT -55.- Football Coach Robinson attended the Univer- sity of Illinois, where he was elected Cap- tain of the varsity football team in his third year of varsity play. Besides his knowledge of physical education and sports that he has gained from actual experience, he has taken courses in The Theory of Athletics and has attended several coaching schools. Following the idea carried out last year, Central again extended her conquests to schools of a higher class. Instead of playing Cleveland as we did last year, we shifted our schedule to Soldan who had one of the most powerful teams in St. Louis. In spite of this and the fact that they out- weighed our team by several pounds per man, we were able to hold them to seven points. In the Paducah game, we played against the heavy odds of a team with veteran lettermen who had never been defeated and went down to a 19 to 0 score in a down-pour of rain. 0 0.0 Lettermen Galilen Hobbs-Right Guard-Captain-elect. Hobbs certainly deserved his election as Captain for :next year's team. He was an all-around player, being an expert blocker and a sure tackler. Because of his grit and his stellar performance, he is sure to be a. great leader for his next year's team. John Steele-Manager. John had one of the most responsible jobs on the squad. He supplied the team with first aid and kept all the equipment in ex- cellent condition. C. M. Ferguson-Penter. Red, in his second and last year for Central, always played an outstanding game at the pivot position. His passing was de- pendable and his blocking of punts gained him quite a reputation. He was given a place on the first All-Star Team. Donald Parrott-I'a,ptain-Left Tackle. Polly, the veteran of some three years of football, led his Tigers in fine style. He inspired his team to fight by his own ag- gressive type ot' play and his determination to win. The Central team as well as many fans will miss him at his old position when next yearls session starts. - 57 GIRARDOT RAR DOT 'I Nm wif' 'E- :::-::::..77:3:3:3:1:C:Ig:-13: ':5: ':5:5f3f7f3fiftf2f?:1' 1:1155 5i5513:f:55::::5:- 'I :- -5' 4 X' ' ., :- i sa, ' ,Q-.-.x S Xia-gt-.Z333 -:::sseassss:s:z::.:s:s:s:z:st:s G:ss:s:2 '-I.g.'.g.glglglglglfiglg 7gSgZg3:f:2-I .vZ:.:IgI, I ' .:.s:::::1., , s:s:ss:s:s:1 if .- -.34 -.g.-'::g:-: . , 'f 5251. .....:5.::,5:5q,.- M . -.g.:.g:- .4 .g.-.5-:. xzxtgxkk - N 'ZX V36 EX., Qt, e- 3 QQ-a sl X .

Paul had a remarkable habit of getting in the way of the opponent who was trying to send a play over him. Because of his ability to tackle and make holes for his backs, he is expected to lend great strength to Central's line for next season. Fred Mammon-Right Half-back. Fred was an all-around man in the backfield and could be depended upon to back up the line. He was a vicious tackler and ran hard when he had the ball. Next season will probably find him one of the main stays of the team. VValter Reimann--Right Tackle. Butch, playing his second and last year on the team, proved to be a stone wall on the defense. Though injured early in the sea- son, he came back with no apparent loss in football ability and finished the season with an outstanding showing. Robert Roth-Left Guard. Bobby was usually on the bottom of the mass of players when they untangled, for he was in every play. It was impossible to take him out of position and though he took lots of punishment, he was always per- sistent in his fighting. Elmer Young-Left Tackle. Elmer was the heaviest man on the team and used his weight to good advantage. He was a great encouragement to his teammates because of his aggressive and fighting spirit. His presence will certainly be missed in Cen- tral's line next year. John Ebert-Right End. John was a versatile player, having started the season as a backfield man, but 'following an. injury was shifted to the line, where he finished the season as an end. Al- though one of the lightest men on the team, he always had the opposition worried with his ability at getting to the ball carrier. Herbert McCullough-Full-back. Cully was our sturdy little line plung- er who was always Sure of gaining on a line play. He was the most consistent ground gainer on the team. His fighting spirit will be greatly missed by the Tigers of next year. Milford Scabaugh-Right. Half-back. Mil was one of the hardest playing men on the team. His head-on tackles be- hind the line made him outstanding in the backfield. He was also a fast broken-field runner and carried the ball for many long runs, He will be a great help for next year's team. -53- Lette rmen Carlton Darling-Left End. Smiley was a cool, consistent end. He was a good pass snatcher and always turned up on the field where he was most needed. Central looks forward to his being an out- standing player next year. Purl Wolters-Left Tackle. Wolters played consistent football throughout the season and added strength to the line by his blocking and tackling. He should be a powerful asset to Central's team next year. David I-Iannebrink-Right Tackle. With Pete at right tackle, the position was well cared for, as he had the determina- tion that makes a good football player. The opposition found it hard to game through his side of the line. Albert Sebek-Right End. Sebek was a rugged, hard-hitting end, and he broke up many of the opponent's plays before they had materialized. He was consistent both on defense and offense. His type of play will make him an outstanding man next year. John Beaudean-Left End. John made his presence felt by his ex- cellent defense work. Many times he would cut in behind the line and bring the enemy down for a loss. This is his last year and we are sorry to see him go. Nelson Steimle-Right, Guard. Steimle took his football seriously and played with all his heart in the game. He would not quit until he had his man out of the way for his backs. He promises to be one of Ce1'1tral's high hopes for a next year's outstanding team, and because of his bulldog methods he will probably play at full-back. Bill lVIcLane-Left Half-back. Willie played his first and last year for Central this season. He was a iiashy back- field man and was sure to gain on an end run. His worth is shown in that he was given a place on the second conference team and was leading scorer for the Tigers. Taylor Kimmix-h--Quarter-back. Radio was an example of the ideal quarter-back. He was an able signal caller and at the same time a scrappy little player. His special merit was broken field-running and the opponents found it most diflicult to get at his legs, -59.-.

Besides the seven lettermen back from last year's squad, there was plenty of new material, though mostly green, from which to fashion a team. About thirty of these reported regularly throughout the sea- son. and though many of them did not earn their letters they must be given credit, for without their help in scrimmage it would have been impossible to get together a winning combination. Due to Coach Robinson's superior knowledge of football coach- ing and his untiring efforts, he was able to mold a team which, even though it was one of the lightest in the conference, was able to tie for second place, and only missed a tie for first place when the football performed acrobatics on the crossbar and then fell off on the wrong side, thus letting Poplar Bluff push us out by one point. To offset their lack of weight, the Tigers developed a football machine with such cooperation and speed that they were able to win fifty per cent of their games, most of which were with much heavier teams. Games won were with Anna, Dexter, Charleston, and Caruthers- ville. Games lost were to Farmington, Poplar Bluff, Paducah, and Soldan. The only tie was with Jackson.

Coach Robinson had charge of the first team and Mr. Paul Jenkins took charge of the Reserves . Since there were two teams, double-header' games were generally scheduled. In their schedule, the First Team won the Hrst four games in true Tiger style. Then they suffered a setback and lost the next six games. Staging a comeback against Cairo, they came out on the big end of a 14 to 23 score, but the jinx hit again and the Tigers lost the last five games. Exce t in two ames, the Ti ers were defeated never b more than seven P 3 g Y points, and in three games by only one point. Central won fourth in the sub-district tournament and thus qualified for the district tournament. In the district tournament, Central decided to show that she really could play basketball, and won the championship of South- east Missouri. Centralls schedule in the tournament was as follows: Central Q23 J Y Central f14J k - Central Q23Q l Fremont Central ' Senafh C175 CENTRAL Dexter 1161 The whole team fought vigorously throughout the tournament and won many favorable comments through their clean sportsmanship. Captain Herbert McCullough was given a berth as guard on the All- Star team because of his stellar playing. For the same reason, Bill McLane was placed at a forward's post and Walter Reimann at guard's position on the sec- ond All-Star. The Reserves, after getting the season started in rather bad fashion, changed tactics and started a winning streak that lasted throughout the season. .. 61 .. GIRARDOT RARDOT First Squad Cully was chosen to Captain the team during his third year of play because of his close guarding, his keen eye for the basket. and his lighting deter- mination to win. VVhenevei' the team seemed sluggish and just could not get going, Cully always gave the needed spark and many times pulled the team out of a tough spot. He played his forward position well and always turned in a good total of baskets. HERBERT Mr-CULLOUGH Forward TEAM VValter Reimann, guardf Butch was our outstanding lighter.

GIRARDOT RARDOT Track The track season opened with about twenty men reporting. Coach Robinson had only two lettermen, Captain McLane and Clyde Foeste, available from last year's squad. Although prospects for a good track team were not very favorable, Central was able to put forth one of the strongest squads in this section, only because of the diligent work and practice on behalf of Coach Robinson and the track team. Central and Poplar Bluff engaged in the first contest of the season. In this meet we were nosed out by the slim margin of 49-48. The next meet was with Carbondale, lllinois. The Tigers won this meet by a score of 6812,-5314. In this contest the Tigers won seven iirsts and tied for one. Carbondale won six firsts and a tie for Hrst. Captain McLane was high individual scorer with a total of 15M points. The Little Six Meet resulted in a victory for the Tigers. They were closely followed by the Poplar Bluff Mules. In this meet the Tigers won seven firsts. In the 120-yard high hurdles, McLane won and set a new record. McLane also won the low hurdles, the high jump, came second in the broad jump and was on two winning relay teams. In the low hurdles he shattered the meet record and tied the state record. He also broke the record in the high jump. This gave him individual honors with a total of 201f2 points. Foeste won the 220-yard dash. Central won all three relays, setting the record in the 440-yard relay, which was a new event. Central showed her superiority on the track, but she won only one first in the field events. Foe-ste, Dormeyer, McClard, Suedekum, Hunze, and McLane placed in one or more events besides the relays. The final track engagement of the season was at the State High School Meet held at Columbia, Missouri. Over one hundred and thirty-tive schools, along with some seven hundred athletes, were entered. In the A division, which represents the larger schools, Central took fifth place. This trip was made possible through the Cape merchants who contributed the necessary expense money. Bill McLane demonstrated his usual ability, taking first place in the low hurdles and second in the high for a total score of 9 points. The Tigers also ran the 880-yard relay and the medley, but were unable to set a time that would give them a place. Front Row - McClard, Dormeyer, Moss, Foeste, McLane, Hobbs, Kilnmick, Schumacher. Back Row - Hunze, Wilson, Vogel, Bock, Sueclekum, Wagner, Hoffman, Seubaugh, Ebert, Ashley. -54.- General Sports INTRAMURAL In order that all boys in Central might engage in some form of athletics, they were divided into four groups to participate in intramural sports. These groups were the Lions under the supervision of Mr. Wright, the Panthers under the di- rection of Mr. Jenkins, the Wildcats under Mr. Pritchard, and the Wolves with Mr. Medcalf as coach. Each group selected four teams to represent it in a basketball tournament. The Lions won first in this tournament and second in the consolation tournament. In track, a cross-country run was featured as one of the events. Moss won first in the cross-country, while the Lions won the general track meet. TENNIS This year much interest was shown in tennis and many of the aspirants to the team developed an adeptness for the game that made them strong for opposing racquet wielders. The team had two meets, one with Illmo, which resulted in, a tie score, 3-3, and the other with the College High, in which the latter won, 6-1. In the district meet, Walter Parker was entered in the singles, with Dan Hope and Jack Oliver in the doubles. The squad was composed of Virginia Becker, Virginia Volkerding, Vivian Volkerding, Helen Hardesty, David Oliver, Roy Klages, Curtis Ballard, Walter Parker, Dan Hope, and Jack Oliver. WRESTLING Wrestling was introduced into Central for the first time this year. The team, composed of nine members, participated in two meets, both with Chaffee. Central won the first meet by a score of 24-15, but lost the second by a score of 18-19. Besides these two meets, there were several exhibitions and a trip to Columbia for the state high school wrestling tournament. Though they did not place, the team made a good showing and gained experience that will be beneficial for future teams. The wrestlers and their respective classes were as follows: Riemann and Bowerman, heavy weight, Arnoldi 165, Bishop 155, McKee 145, Ebert 135, Gill 125, Sams and Meyer 115, Motley 95, with Donald Parrott as trainer. PING PONG Ping Pong was introduced into Central last year, and during this season a wide interest was shown in this sport, with most of the student body participating. It was played at two tables on the fourth Iioor after school hours. The tournament was won by Dean Owens, with David Oliver placing second. ... 65 .. GIIIARDOT If RARDOT Baseball Baseball was again sponsored by the Sport Club as an intramural sport and also as an interscholastic sport. Mr. Buckner, as sponsor of the Sport Club, also had the direction of the teams as a group. In the first half of the season the Hawks won the championship, but in the second half the aces started a rally that gave them the head of the column. The names of the teams, captains, managers, and coaches are as follows: Aces-Captain McCullough, manager, Hilpert, coach, Mr. Medcalf. Hawks-Cap- tain, Hunter, manager, Barr, coach, Mr. Jenkins. Yanks-Captain, Mammon, man- ager, Seabaugh, coach, Mr. Magill. Cards--Captain, Sykes, manager, Bowerman, coach, Mr. Pritchard. Standin g at end of intramural season: Team. Won. Lost. Team. Won. Lost.

However, she claims Iowa Uni- versity as her Alma Mater. While there she took courses in the administration of physical education, which fitted her well for her posi- tion as director of girls' athletics in Central. We are indeed fortunate in having one of her character and ability to guide and direct the girls in their health and athletic programs. MISS NELSON This year the Girls' Physical Education Department has progressed greatly ln its range of activities, the classes being organized into intramural groups. W'ith these teams numerous tournaments were conducted, including basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Besides this training, Miss Nelson has also striven to assist the girls in gaining poise and gracefulness by means of rhythmic training. The activities in the various gym classes were all planned for the purpose of teaching the correct free- dom of the body, and how to keep in trim by means of special exercises designed for various types of physical development. Underlying this training, good sports- manship was stressed as was thorough cooperation, which is an invaluable train- ing that can be best obtained through sports activities.

Different types of dancing were taught also. Besides this the girls were given postural exercises to improve their posture and build up muscular tissue. Because of the fact that a new gym iioor was put in, the girls' dancing classes were interrupted, but the problem was solved very satisfactorily by transferring the classes to the auditorium. The interest in state letters was greatly increased this year and this work was one of the features of the department. In order to secure a state letter one must be a superior student, and also a skilled athlete in basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis and all forms of athletic activities. About twenty-five girls worked to secure their UM . Besides the regular outlined work, the girls took many hikes. This intense work was an indication of the interest that has been shown in physical development, and has provided a valuable supplement to the regular work of the department.

Girls' Athletics At the annual Play Day held under the auspices of the State Teachers College and the Women's Athletic Association in April for the promotion of wholesome fun and fair play, Central was represented by nine girls: Mildred Dowling, Una Norman, Virginia Zoellner, Earline Lemonds, Pauline Sledge, Fern Crews, Rosemary Tallent, Anna Marie Grimes, and Mary Foster. The girls dressed in costumes to represent countries. After they had assembled and registered, they were divided into groups. Other activities included folk dancing, get-acquainted games, relays, corner-ball, snatchball, volleyball, bat-ball, bombard, and Captain C. ball. At noon a lunch was served, after which the girls' program of games was continued until late afternoon. Scores were read and refreshments were served to all. The intramural program provided one of the most valuable phases of work this year. The first sport of this group was volleyball, in which practice and in- struction were fgiven in correct methods of play. iVhen the teams were well or- ganized, play was started in tournament fashion, the games being played in the afternoon after school. The teams were not chosen from classes but were com- posed of girls from the four classes, thus giving an equal chance to all groups and providing an opportunity for wider participation. Bernice Rickard's team won first place in the tournament. After the volleyball season was completed the basketball season got under way. It proved very popular, for there was always a large crowd of spectators. Dorothy Price's team won first place in the basketball tournament.

GIRARDOT Student Council He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the busim-ss of daily virtuous living. -Carlyle. At the head of every successful government or organization there has always been a governing power to give advice on some ot the rising difficulties. The advice of the Indian chief was sought by the members of his tribe when something was wrong, and today government problems are referred to our Brain Trust and various advisory boards. The Student Council at Central serves in a similar capacity by helping to solve some of the daily problems confronting the faculty and the student body and by establishing a greater spirit of cooperation. This organization was first formed in 1924 by Mr. Belmont Farley. Formerly its membership consisted of the presidents, vice-presidents, and the attorneys of all the clubs. Today the membership is composed of the most representative students, who are elected by the student body. The club is divided into eight separate com- mittees under the supervision of the chairman, who is elected by the Council mem- bers. Each committee functions so as to promote the general welfare of all. The Book Exchange committee furnishes a medium by which texts might be bought without private interchange. Another division handles the trophy award, which is designed to lessen tardies. The Lost and Found committee returns all lost articles to their owners, while the Girls' and Boys' Athletic committee helps to plan the athletic programs. One group keeps the bulletin boards attractively arranged and another committee has charge of the Co-op at various intervals.

If it were not for records, the past would fade out through the march of time and much that is rich and fine would not be preserved for those who follow. Our paper, The Tiger, which is familiar to every Central student, is thus making a permanent record of the events of Central, safeguarding those joys and triumphs which have been ours this year. While it is the duty of the Tiger Business Staff to finance the paper, the Tiger Literary Staff was organized in fall of 1923 by Miss Rhoda J. Conrad and Mr. E. F. Kamer, to contribute the articles for publication. Consequently, it has provided for its membership valuable practice in creative journalistic writing. Membership was chosen from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The contestants who submitted the best articles were selected by the sponsors to become members of the organization. In, order to obtain credit in the club it was necessary to pass six requirements: 113 He must have an M average, Q23 At least two books in journalism should be read, C33 At least three unassigned articles must be contributed, f4J He must give a special report on some phase of journalism, C55 Comment on various exchange articles must be given, Q65 A visit to some newspaper plant must be made during the year.

The purpose of this organization is to meet the financial obligations incurred by the Literary Staff. Such work provides practical business training which will prove valuable in future years. It is interesting to note the fact that forty-three dollars worth of advertise- ments are sold every two weeks to cover the publishing cost of the paper. Thus the soliciting and writing of these advertisements comprise the ofiicial duties of this organization.

RARDOT Book making as we know it today has been developed from the ancient art of the Egyptians, who had probably learned it from the Babylonians. It is thought the first book printed from metal type dates back to the year 1450 A. D. In the early days, the scribes who copied manuscripts were also the book-sellers. Through them much valuable information has been preserved. In like manner the Girardot will furnish a permanent record of the events of Central for those who are to follow. The work of the Girardot Staff is done during club sessions and through committee meetings after school hours with Miss Krueger as the adviser of the business division and Miss Reed as the supervisor of the literary and art divisions. The staff has endeavored to portray briefly the outstanding events in the history of Cape Girardeau and to weave with these events the happenings of this school year. It is hoped that these records will be the source of many pleasant memories to the people of this community and to those who have been within our walls.

Many years have passed down the course of time since the Elizabethan period, when Shakespearian drama was at the height of its splendor, but throughout the ages, man has given expression by voice and gesture to his thoughts and emotions. The juniors and seniors at Central are given an opportunity for such activity through the work of the Red Dagger Dramatic Club. It was first organized in 1918 at the instigation of William Schaeffer and under the direction of Miss Tanner, Miss Towne, Miss Howard, and Mrs. Harness. This club has endeavored to create in its members a taste for the best in drama, to raise the standards for productions in the community, and to develop in- dividual skills of the membership in acting and production. Two types of programs were presented before the student body and the general public, one group being directed by the students themselves and the other by the sponsor of the organization. The assembly play, which was also given at the Parent-Teachers meeting, was entitled The Woman Who Understood Men. At Christmas the organization assisted the Glee Clubs in presenting a pantomime of the cantata, The Wondrous Story. The annual three-act public performance was entitled Skidding, and the May Meet contest presentation was a Russian play called Highness, Among the plays directed by the students were Little Prison, Portrait of Gentleman in Slippers, Town Hall Tonight, and Richman, Poormanf' The Red Dagger on March 20, 1934 sponsored a trip to St. Louis to see Katherine Cornell in the production, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, at the American Theater.

In years past the Friday afternoon literary societies of the schools furnished the only means by which the students could show their dramatic ability. Today they are given a better opportunity to express themselves through such organizations as the Silver Spear. The club was formerly known as the Junior Dramatic Club, organized by Miss Mattie Grant in 1924, but in 1929 was reorganized a11d assumed the name of Silver Spear. From the very beginning, the purpose has been to develop among the Freshmen and Sophomore pupils an interest in dramatics. It gives them an opportunity to develop and express their dramatic ability through the annual public performance, the assembly play, and the varied club programs. This year a departure from the three-act play was made, and instead, the club offered three one-act plays entitled: The Fence, At Breakfast, and Grand- ma Pulls the Stringsfl To give to its audience a dilterent type of play and to broaden the experience of its members still more, a fantasy, The King's Great Aunt Sits on the Floor, was presented as the assembly play. In the regular club meetings they studied make-up, folk drama, play pro- duction, voice exercises, and recent stage Successes.

In order to encourage a wider interest in dramatic production at Central, the Central Masquers Dramatic Club was organized in 1932 by Miss Eloise McLain. It not only promotes further interest in good drama, but it helps to stimulate an interest in the essentials of play production. During the past year the club made a study of stage construction, make-up, one-act plays, pantomime, folk drama, and recent stage successes. The membership is open to those students especially interested in dramatics and is limited to the seating capacity of the meeting room. OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Maple Winn President.

And man that while the puppets play, Through nose expoundeth what they say. -e-Davenant. The popularity of the puppet shows dates back as far as the Grecian and Roman periods and has increased in favor with the march of time. The Marionette plays presented before the student body at Central have proven successful as evi- denced by the fact that numerous performances were given before some of the clubs, the Parent-Teacher Association, and several grade school organizations. The Marionette Club, originally called the Club of Dramatic Art, was reor- ganized this year in order to give those interested in this type of performance a chance to learn more about the art. During the past year, the club has made a study of the art of puppetry, their work consisting of the construction of puppets, the designing of their costumes, and the production of puppet plays. The major project has been an original drama- tization entitled Cinderella Ten puppets were made for this play and many interesting effects were carried out in the construction of the stage scenery.

Leo McKinney for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community the high principles and ideals of personal character. Several meetings during the past year were devoted to Bible study, the outside speakers including Reverend Owen, Reverend Hicks, Mr, F. J. Courleux, Reverend Lehman, and Mayor Drum. When the Hi-Y Club from St. Louis were guests in Cape Girardeau, they were entertained at a banquet held at the First Baptist Church by the local Hi-Y organization.

Like the people who founded Cape Girardeau, the Senior Girl Reserves are guided by the highest of ideals. They are a part of an international club which bears the same name. Our local group was organized in February, 1926, under Miss Pott, and is considered Central's branch of the Y. W. C. A. In addition to the weekly meetings, the club has been very prominent in promoting social life at school. They served a tea. to the teachers, and sponsored the ever popular Date Party for the girls in April, As another interesting activity, the girls participated in a world friendship project, and some have corresponded with girls in foreign countries. Membership is open to all Junior and Senior girls.

The Junior Girl Reserves is very similar to the Senior Girl Reserves, but is limited to girls in the Freshman and Sophomore classes. In 1926 the Girl Reserve Club was organized and remained one organization until 1928, when it became so popular that it was necessary to form two branches of the organization. The younger club does about the same type of work as the senior division, They assisted in sponsoring the date party, and had their 'tDandelion Queen contest like the older group. At Thanksgiving the club took baskets of food to some poor families, and at Christmas time sent some greeting cards to the patients in the hospitals. Slogan: Face life squarely.

Long ago, who would have thought that men would be numbered among the outstanding cooks today? In order to further an interest in this activity and to teach an appreciation of culinary art, the Boys' Cooking Club and the Central Cooks were organized at Central. The Central Cooks was formed in 1930 by Miss Jones. This club has a four-fold purpose: Q11 to acquaint the boys with the routine of cookery and kitcheng Q25 to teach them the fundamentals of cooking, which become valuable in case of necessityg C35 to give to the members some idea of nutritional Valueg Q45 to train them in the serving of foods in a proper and attractive manner. Last fall the boys studied about suitable foods for use on hikes, picnics and outdoor encampments. Later they took up the study of food nutrition, and towards the end of the semester they were engaged in baking pastries and fixing desserts.

Long ago women did the greater part of the cooking, but with advancing years the male sex has also become accomplished in the culinary arts. The Boys' Cooking Club at Central was organized to familiarize the boys with simple methods of cookery, and to give them the actual experience of preparing food. They have learned how to care for the kitchen and its utensils, which activity has helped them to appreciate the work of the mother in the home. The boys have found the knowledge valuable also when on camping tours, for it has taught them methods of preparing food suitable for the great out-of-doors. Membership in the organization is open to all boys attending Central.

CIRARDOT GIRARDOT Camera Club The glowing portraits, fresh from life, that bring Home to our hearts the truth from which they spring. -Lord Byron. One can readily see that photography, like everything else, has also taken a step in advancement. Even since the club was organized in 1921 under the lead- ership of Mr. Buckner and M1'. Ranney. many new developments in photography have been discovered. Since so many people have been interested in picture making, it has been possible to change from the old tin-type pictures to our present-day ones, It is quite evident that photography is popular at Central, too, because it was neces- sary to form two clubs devoted to that activity. Membership is open to all students interested in this type of work. The Camera Club, under the supervision of Mr. Pritchard, has for its objec- tive the study of photography, and to give some idea to those planning to go into the work for pleasure or as a profession. The students learn through actual ex- perience the necessary steps taken in printing pictures from negatives. After the pictures are finished, the students are permitted to keep them, and in this way many a lasting memory is preserved, OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester James Dalton President James Dalton Bonita Hedden Vice-President Eleanora Sykes Evelyn Juden Secretary Evelyn Juden Va.

It was organized in 1929 primarily to teach better methods for the taking of pictures and in the arrangement of subjects, and to give actual experience in printing from negatives. The students, who meet every Monday, spend most of their time printing pic- tures, which have been taken and developed previous to the club period. This year as a special project the members have learnd how to enlarge pictures from negatives. After their pictures have been enlarged and printed. some have even tinted the finished product. As a result many pleasing effects have been obtained.

The beauty of landscape in Cape Girardeau as well as the style of architecture in buildings, both old and new, show that the people of the community have always been interested in art. The present generation is also interested in art appreciation as is evidenced by the fact that twenty students were unable to gain member-ship in the Art Club at Central, since accommodations could be made for only thirty-three. The work of the Art Club is organized and developed in such a way that the student will be conscious of the practical relation of art to life and will have some idea of the work if he decides to specialize in art. Most of the club periods are spent in working with leather and yarn, making them into purses, pictures and bracelets. As a means of making money, the club dyed and sold Easter eggs at that season. The Art Club entertained twice during the year to promote social life among its members. The first semester a picnic was held at Cape Rock and the second semester the club entertained at a Washingtons birthday party. Guests included the former presidents of the club from the years 1927 to 1934. The lirst Art Club was organized in September, 1921 and has played an active part in school life since that time.

Library Club Dm-anis, books, are each a worldg as books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good. Round these with tvendrils strong as tlesh and blood, Our pastimes and our happiness will grow. -Wordsworth. In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time. This statement reminds us that books have always been used in the past, and from them has been gained wisdom, piety, and entertainment. all of which help to make up life itself. In order to gain a deeper appreciation of good literature and to aid in the- passing of leisure hours, the Library Club was organized in 1928 at Central by Mrs. Gordon. During the past year the programs have consisted largely of discussions of various outstanding authors in regard to their life, work, and their purpose in writing. During some of the meetings The Varmint, by Owen Johnson, was read aloud. The people who aid Mrs. Gordon in the library are selected from the mem- bership of the Library Club. They are taught the classification, accessioning and treatment of books. When necessary, they also mend the torn books or magazines.

F GIRARDOT - 87 .- RARDOT Nurses Club Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, requires as ex- elusive a devotion, as hard a preparation, as any paintex s or sculp- tor-'s work. --Florence Nightingale. The noble character and devoted service of Florence Nightingale, the founder of the nursing profession, has inspired many a girl to give her service toward les- sening the sufferings of mankind. The Nurses' Club, which was organized in 1929 by Miss Adelia Weis, does not strive to train the girls for professional nursing, but to give them knowledge of some of the essentials of first aid work for practical application. All girls who are interested in medical work are eligible for membership, Di: Cure-All, a two-act play, was presented by the members this past spring. This year the club has made a study of the care of children and of the sick.

The use of bows and arrows dates from the Egyptians, who were noted for their skill in archery, to the present generation. During the Middle Ages, the forces of William the Conquerer, won many battles because of their superiority with the bow and arrow. and in our own country the Indians used them for hunting as well as wars. Though employed then principally as weapons, today the use of the bow and arrow furnishes us with one of our most interesting and fascinating pastimes. The Archery Club is new at Central, having been organized this year by Mr. W. E. Medcalf. The purpose of this club is to interest the boys in the ancient art of making and using bows and arrows, and to provide a form of recreation. At one of the weekly meetings, Mr. F. C. Trickey, an archery enthusiast, gave an instructive talk on the Art of Making Bows. Two archery tournaments were held within the club. Next year the club hopes to make arrangements with some of the surrounding schools.

In former years the girls were not given the opportunity for Constructive physical activity as they are today. In order to meet a new and growing interest in physical development and recreation, the Girls' Sport Club was organized in 1931 under the leadership of Miss Nelson. the present sponsor. The girls participate in all types of physical activity and are divided into two groups, which engage in competitive games during the weekly club period. Within the past year, the main project of the club was the sponsoring of the intramural teams of volleyball, basketball, and baseball. The club is especially valuable in that it allows the girls who are not taking regular gymnasium work a chance to participate in the different phases of athletics.

In early days practically the only opportunity the girls had for developing their bodies was in the performance of the daily chores around the home. Today there are two girl clubs at Central organized for the purpose of physical education. They are called the Girls' Sport Club and the Girls' Athletic Club, the latter being the older of the two organizations. A need for such activity was felt long ago, for the first club of this type was formed in 1920 under the supervision of Miss Uthoff. The most outstanding projects during the year were the sponsoring of the girls' ping pong tournaments and the planning for sports activities for those wishing to obtain a Missouri State Letter. Because of the widespread interest in physical training in our school, the membership in the Girls' Athletic Club is open to all girls attending Central who are interested in athletics.

The greatest point of all in its favor is that it is not a game for the star alone, but for everyone who can hold a racquet. -Helen Wills Moody The play instinct seems to have always manifested itself among all of the peoples of history. Numerous records show that every nation has had its exhibitions of physical Skill and endurance. Today games are even more numerous, and each year gain in popularity. Tennis is one of the favorite forms of recreation of many nations because of its adaptability as a sport. The Tennis Club at Central was not organized to produce nationally known tennis stars, but to give the students interested in the game a chance to develop their own individual skill. In 1875 tennis was first introduced into America and in the fall of 1927, Miss Fern Garrison organized the first Tennis Club at Central. Because of the construction work that has been in progress, no courts were available this year, but plans are being made for building two new courts in the future.

For the purpose of recreation and furthering an interest in sports, the Boys' Sport Club was organized in 1929 by Coach Louis Muegge. V During the football season of the past year, the organization was responsible for the issuing of all souvenir programs. The club sponsored the Boys' Intramural tournaments as well as the ping-pong tournaments and the indoor baseball groups. In the spring, the Little Vvorld Series outdoor baseball leagues were formed into f0llI' teams, involving more than a hundred boys.

GIRARDOT RARDOT Math Club Logical consequences are the scare-crmvs of fools :uid the bc-zu-ons of wise men. -Huxley. Reading, writing, and arithmetic were the three fundamentals taught in the schools of former years. The field of mathematics has broadened greatly since that time, and the subject is taught today in a more attractive and practical manner. The interested mathematical students at Central made it possible to organize the Math Club in 1921 under the sponsorship of Miss Fern Garrison and Mr. T. J. Caruthers. The purpose of the organization is not only to create and promote an interest in mathematics but to investigate certain phases not included in classroom work, and to learn something of the practical application of mathematics in .the different vocations. During the various club periods last year, the members were engaged in the working of puzzles, magic squares, and cube root problems. They had a discussion on lives of great mathematicians and held some interesting ciphering matches, and chess and checker tournaments. On one occasion Mr. Vvhiteford made a talk on short methods in addition. The only social function of the club for the year was a spring picnic at Cape Rock.

Today people little appreciate the modern electrical conveniences that sur- round them. Not many years ago our forefathers were satisfied to see by candle light and to perform by manual labor many tasks which today have been replaced by electrical machinery. The Electrical Engineers Club at Central was organized in 1926 by Mr. Weis to accommodate those who were interested in electricity and to offer a special op- portunity for the discussion of the developments of the apparatus pertaining to elec- trical science. The club periods during the past year were spent in discussion of the theory, construction and demonstration ot electrical apparatus as developed by modern SCl8I1C6.

It is quite different from the old oxen carts and horse carriages which were the pre- vailing means of communication in bygone days. Since there is a great chance for development in the field of aviation, the object ofthe Aviation Club of Central is to discuss these new problems as they are dis- covered. During the club periods last year the members studied airplane construction, operation, and air regulations. Some interesting types of models were constructed by the members. Since aviation is comparatively new, the club was not organized until 1929 under Mr. Weis's direction.

What a storehouse of memories have been preserved for the present gen- eration through the thouightfulness of others. For centuries mankind has been collecting and preserving objects of interest and value. The same inborn desire that prompted our forefathers to make collections inspired the students at Central to organize a Collectors' Club in 1931 with the assistance of Mr. Jenkins. During the past year the members have collected stamps from various nations, arrowheads, coins, cones, pictures and old documents. Part of the club periods has been spent in making a display of the various objects collected. The club visited the college on several occasions and observed the Beckwith collection. Reverend Morton and Mr. A. S. Duckworth, two Cape Girardeau citizens who have private collections, addressed the club during the year on the Art of Collecting.

XVe have faster methods of manufacturing, communication, and transportation. The typewriter is one of the most commonly used appliances which has aided in improving present-day business methods. Typing is not only a faster method of writing but produces a neater manuscript and saves much time for the worker who has mastered its technique. The Typing Club at Central was organized in 1927 by Miss Clara Hoffman. It was formed to give students who were unable to enter typing classes a chance to learn something of the work. During the club periods this year the members were taught the principles of typing and became acquainted with the mechanics of the typewriter.

The Crossword Puzzle Club, originally sponsored by Miss Margaret Ruess- kamp, was organized in 1930 for the purpose of solving crossword puzzles. This club activity is valuable in that it aids in the passing of leisure time and helps to increase the vocabulary of the participant. When the first settlers of Cape Girardeau came, they had very little time for fun and play because they were too busy building the community. Now since the N. R. A. is in effect, people here and over the United States as well have more time for pleasure, and crossword puzzles have become very helpful in leisure time employment. This year the club has been divided into two separate teams and at each meet- ing a puzzle has been worked by the entire group, At the end of the year the winning side was entertained by the losers.

GIRARDOT RARboT In the Early Days of Cape Girardeau Early Cape Girardeau had Clubs also. A very famous one was the F. F. F. Club-fur, fin, feathers. The men would go on hunting trips and at a banquet in the evening at the St. Charles or River View Hotel, the ladies would receive the spoils. A ladies' Mother Hubbard Club met at the old Blue Hole and it allowed no men. CAPE GIRARDEAU'S FIRST PAPER Cape Girardeau's first paper, The Missouri Herald, was published in 1819 at Jackson by T. E. Strange. Strange gave the paper to James Russell, who in 1825, sold it to Will Johnson, its name changing to The Independent Patriot. Again in 1835, moving to Cape Girardeau under Dr. Patrick Henry Davis, it was changed to Southern Advocate. Later it was published by Robert Burns, but in 1845 it was re- turned to Jackson. SOCIAL LIFE People of Cape Girardeau have always been socially inclined. There were spelling matches, quilting bees, Sunday dinners, and dances. During the years 1860 to 1865 there were few big parties but many private affairs. At one of these parties two young oflicers of the regiment stationed in the town were invited. The news of the party reached the higher oflicer who, being displeased sent a group of ofiicers to arrest the young men of the party. Only one escaped, hiding under the cover of the parlor table. But he probably longed for the safety of the jail when later he had to escort the young women home through a city in which a lantern was not allowed without special permit. Many social functions were given by the 'tMarble City Guards, and U. D. C. balls were annual affairs from 1885 to 1917. In 1876 a Leap Year and Centennial party was given at the St. Charles Hotel. The party began at 8:30: supper was served at 1:00 o'clock, and at 3:00 all headed homeward. Some of the dance numbers were: Quadrille-Lady Washington: Waltz--Blue Danube: Waltz---Silver Threads: Varsauviene-A la Local: Polka-A la Memphia: Galle-Lan Versus Love: Virginia Reel-Sweet Farewell. ' MONUMENTS Aside from the road markers, Cape Girardeau has several historical mon- uments. The four Civil War markers are: Fort C, the St. Francis Hospital: Fort B, the site of the Southeast Missouri Teachers College: Fort D, still standing at May Greene School, which is also a dedication to Miss May Greene: and Fort A, on Bellevue, overlooking the river. VVe also have several monuments: one at the entrance of the bridge on Morgan Oak, erected November 22, 1931 by the U. D. C.: another in Court House Park-in memory of the Soldiers of the Civil War, erected by the Woman's Reilef Corps in 1911: and a third monument in front of St. Vincent's Church for Father Murtaugh on the ground given by him. FIRST FIRE DEPARTMENT Cape's Paul Revere was Fritz Tirkoff 1Miss Norma Regenhardt's grandfatherl, who at the first sound of the fire alarm fthe old Presbyterian belll would ride on his horse around the town yelling href Men at first pulled the Iire engine and hose: then the town got horses for the job. -100- FEATURES The old Ranney house, built in 1841, still stands on North Main Street proudly overlooking the river. lt has been the rendezvous of many a gay eve- ning, for here was gathered the elite of the early city, and many a brilliant company was sheltered within its walls. Thus this splendid old house has furn- ished its share of entertainment and merriment just as our features at Central have given us diversion from our daily tasks. 5 3 a I 1 C HE FOOTBALL SQUAD presents Miss Geneva Johnston as the 1934 Football Queen. Geneva is a call, stately brunette with an attractive personality. She has long been prominent in school activities and a foremost booster of the foot'- ball team. Her keen interest in athletics and her personal attrac- tiveness have won for her the election to this distinctive position. -101- GIRARDOT RARISOT I HE GIRARDOT STAFF announces the selection of Sam Foster as the most representative boy in Central. Sam is a handsome young fellow with a most congenial disposition that has gained him many friends. His all-round abilities as a student and his loyal school attitude were instrumental in his re- ceiving the school's popular vote for boy representative. -102-- N LaNora Piatt are found the qualities most liked in a girl Centralite, which accounts for her being elected as our most representative girl student. She is endowed with a most pleasing charm that has made her a favorite both among teachers and students.

Our present college was built in 1905 and has been called the Southeast Missouri Teachers College since 1919. lt has served and inspired the youth of our section and has undoubtedly been one of the greatest factors in the develop- ment of the eastern' portion of our state. -- 108 - St. Vincent's Convent is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in this part of the United States. It has been under the guidance of the Sisters of Loretto since 1838 when it was known as the Loretto Academy. For over seventy-eight years it was one of the finest of girls' schools and its work has been carried on through the present St. Vincent's Parochial School. Remains of the old convent, which was long regarded as one of the most beautiful landmarks in Cape Girardeau, are still to be found on South Spanish Street, extending down to the river. M. 109 .S GIRARDOT IRARDOT The St. Vincent's Church was erected in 1854 by the Vincentian Fathers on the site of Lorimier's old home overlooking the river. After almost a century of service, old St. Vincent's with its Gothic splendor is still regarded by many as the most beautiful church in Cape Girardeau. Within its Gothic walls thousands of Cape Girardeans have found inspiration and helpfulness. -110- The Southeast Missourian, formerly the Daily Republican, was opened in the old Opera House in 1904 by the Naeter Brothers. ln l905 it was moved to the old Wilson residence on the corner of Broadway and Spanish, and two years later a press was established in the present Chamber of Commerce building. The attractive Span- ish structure at Broadway and Lorimier has been the home of the Southeast Missourian since 1925, and it has been their purpose to keep the citizens of Cape Girardeau regu- larly informed and to lead the movement for a greater Cape Girardeau. -111- GIRARDOT IRARDOT One of the first industries in this city was the Reynolds flour mill which was built in l857 by james Reynolds, and for many years served as a major industry for Southeast Missouri. The building still stands next to the Meyer-Albert Grocery Company on North Main Street, and is used by them as a warehouse. ...11g.. Trinity Hall, one of the outstanding historical buildings in Cape Girardeau, was formerly the scene of many gala events. Captain Alt, a British army officer, bought the property from the Hanney family and builit a home which became the center of social life in Cape Girardeau. On Iuly 4, l9l5 the Lutherans took over the home, and it has become a civic center for their congregation. -113- GIRARDOT RARDOT I I l sv I The first telephone system for Cape Girardeau was established in 1897 in the old Sturdivant Bank building with a total of 500 subscribers. The switchboard was later moved to the southwest corner of Ellis and Broadway and has remained there until july, l930, at which time it was transferred across the street to the attractive modern structure where it continues to render its valuable and efficient service to our community. -- 114 - I Q i Cape Girardeau's first Utility plant was built around I884 by Sy Hartzell on the site which is now occupied by the street car station. This property was purchased by the Missouri Public Utilities and continued under their operation until l92l, at which time the Union Electric Co. came into ownership. ln l923 it was bought by the Community Power and Light Co. and has remained under their control. At present the Company's holdings are valued at approximately one million dollars, and with its very modern plant it is able to provide an indespensible service which adds much to the comfort and joy of living. -- 115 - GIRARDOT RARboT The Old johnson House was located on the corner of Broadway and Main, and served as a leading hotel for many years, having been operated under the names of Riverview and the Moore Hotel. The establishment was under various man- agers, the last being a Mr. Van Franck who was the proprietor at the time of its destruction by fire. Although it has not been preserved for us, the memory of it will awaken various imaginings of its splendor in the days when it was host to the visitors who tarried here. --116- 1 III: ' The Public Library, an institution for both education and recreation, was first established by a group of Campfire girls, being opened November 8, l9l4 in the old Elligood building at the corner of Themis and Spanish. The public soon became inter- ested and it was moved to the Elks' building, where it became a definite part of the development of Cape Girardeau. At present the library is in the Carnegie building in Courthouse Park where it was moved in june, 1922. Within its walls, people of all walks of life meet ini their quests for knowledge or diversion. - 117 -- GIRARDOT RARboT Cape Cirardeau's Romantic Past The first street car was pulled by two horses. The driver was called Grum- blely. The car circled the big squarei' and had a. branch line out Pacific street to the botton of Normal Hill. It was a regular Toonerville Trolley -every day it went off the tracks. Cape also had fairs, one of the first being held in 1855 on the old fair grounds on the Gordonville road. There were contests, sideshows, prize winning stock, and races in which many famous Kentucky thoroughbreds competed. In the evening the people went to the opera house and watched the performers in Ten Nights in a Barroomf' The Capaha parade was a great event in the lives of the Girardeans. Floats represented every phase of the town's development. It was followed by an exciting sham battle. The home guards occupied barges on the river and an army of Indians were stationed on Fort A. The attack was made with skyrockets, Roman candles, and colored lights, with a cannon boom thrown in. However, the soldiers soon disembarked and scaled the tort, makin-g the Indians surrender. Out Broadway, just inside the city limits, there is an old brick house, the only battle-scarred building in Cape Girardeau. During the Civil War a cannon ball went through the thick walls, into the pantry, across the back porch, through the walls of the parlor, and rolled across the piano. Several Confederate soldiers were buried out there, and negroes used to say the home was haunted. The Wathen home on North Main street was started in 1839 and finished in 1841. It was the most truly colonial and the most beautiful home between, St. Louis and New Orleans. The pillars on the porch are hand-wrought. The Burrough home on the Bloomfield road was built for Sam Caruthers by Edwin Branch Deane, who built most of the old houses of this city. It is a replica of the Henry Clay home in Kentucky. Cape was used as a summer resort by different New Orleans business men. The State House of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was built of marble from here. In the Public Library, at present, there is the sleeve- of an old Revolutionary War soldier, given by the D. A. R.'s. It belonged to the grandfather of Dr. J. S. Robb of Shawneetown, Missouri, having been worn at Valley Forge. In 1789, a public road, the Kings Highway-El Camino Real-was marked out following an old Indian trail running from New Madrid to St. Louis. This road passed through Big Prairie and the Rich VVoods, to Scott County, over the hills to Cape Girardeau, to Ste. Genevieve, and to St. Louis, The road was named in honor of the King of Spain. It is still traveled along about the same original line, except that it is lost at the river here and not found again until it is picked up in Ste. Genevieve. It was known by the early American pioneers as the Illinois road because it led to what was then known as Illinois county. The road goes as far as the Missouri river, and there is a branch leading to the Chain of Rocks above Commerce and to the mouth of Apple Creek and connecting with old trails and paths on the east side- of the Mississippi River. The road has been marked by markers the D. A. R. was instrumental in getting. There are three in Cape Girar- deauwaone at the corner of Spanish and William streets, another on the old road to Benton, and the D. A. R. is putting one on the bridge, to signify that the trail led through the river. School bonds for S125,000 were voted by Cape Girardeau in 1913. In 1916 the city fairgrounds were purchased for park purposes. Such were some of the events of the early days of our community. Though many of them have faded into the decades of the past, yet they hold a certain glamor and piquancy when viewed in the light of our present development. -118- Cape Cirardeau's Romantic Past On these pages we have endeavored to remind you of some of the colorful events in the history of our city. The following fragments were gleaned from the history of this region by R. S. Douglass, Louis Houck. F. A. Rozier, a booklet on Cape Girardeau by Clara Hayden, and from the lips of the descendants of the old pioneers of Cape Girardeau. Cape Girardeau has been under three flags-Spain, France, and the United States. The Cape of yesterday had three toll gates-one on the road to Benton, one on the Jackson road and the other on the Bloomfield road-crooked streets, brick sidewalks, and hitching posts. The original District of Cape Girardeau. under the Spaniards, was bounded by the La Riviere a la Pomme on the north, Tywappity Bottom at the south, the Mississippi River at the east, and no boundary was established on the west. Don Louis Lorimier first settled and founded it in 1794. It was first laid out as a regular town in 1805, and was incorporated February 24. 1813. The real estate at that time was assessed at S50,000, and in 1854 at SS447,465. It had two very good roads, one out Harmony and Jackson street, and the other to Benton through Spanish street. In 1854 the population was 200. and there were 300 houses, five churches, a Court House, a branch bank of State of Missouri, and a steam ferry boat. The town boasted a chair factory, turning machine, and three flour mills. Our Broadway was called Jackson street and Main was referred to as Ger- man street. There has been many a day since cows were on Broadway. We are told that Lorimier street was the rendezvous for all the cows. Yes, Cape Girardeau had a swimming hole, but it was accessible to only those of the masculine gender. It has been many a day since the Mississippi was frozen over so completely that one could hike to Illinois over the ice. There was a time when the showboat, with its Punch and Judy shows and the famous Dan Rice, the clown, furnished one of the chief diversions for the in- habitants of Cape Girardeau. There were days when it took two hours to go to Jackson, four hours to go in horse and buggy to Benton. Thus the residents of Benton would go to Com- merce and take a boat to Cape to avoid the lengthy buggy ride. There was a town criere-Tom Stockton, an old negro. who walked up the middle of Jackson street, ringing a dinner bell and shouting the news. General Grant was once in charge of the Cape Girardeau district. There had been a misunderstanding, and General Prentiss came toward Cape Girardeau to take charge. General Grant went to Jackson to meet him. When General Prentiss demanded the surrender of Cape Girardau, General Grant refused. and held out until General Prentiss left disgusted. This was the decisive turning point of General Grant's career. If he had surrendered to Prentiss, he would have been sent to some backwoods place and his career would have ended. In later years General Grant made mention several times of his stay in Cape Girardeau. In the early days criminals were punished by order and decision of Command- ant Lorimier. In the case of Robert Pulliam the sentence was: He is condemned to receive thirty lashes on his bare back, and to pay the expenses incurred by this prosecution, and to return the articles stoleng and the said Robert Pulliam is ordered to depart from said district without further delay, and to appear nor more therein, else he shall be liable to receive five hundred lashes. A priest of Cape Girardeau long ago put a wooden cross on a small island across from the small creek that separates Scott County and Cape Girardeau County, giving it the name Le Croix Creek. Mark Twain spent a night in St. Vince-nt's College. The first automobile seen in Cape Girardeau belonged to Doctor Dittlinger of St. Louis. It wasn't long, though, until there were several cars to spoil the fun of playing on the streets and to cause runaways. -119- GIRARDOT Calendar SEPTEMBER 11-School starts. Freshies arrive and things look pretty bright in spite of the green. 12-School really starts today. Have . you bought your books yet? These - teachers that assign work so early! 13-More new students.

Cheer leader tryouts-hence the stiff legs. Mary Sue leaves town. Tears? Rumored that even Bill and Arthur cried fThis rumor unfoundedj 20-Silver Spear holds tryouts. How do you like Emmanuel and Helen, the new drum majors? 21-Red Dagger assembly, impressive as usual. A hint-Marion, next time use Every-ready flashlight batteries. Swell pep assembly, the football boys look pretty good-but Farmington beats us, 6 to 0. 22-Donlt the different club pledges look cute ? Some swell debaters we have-probably will walk off with the honors. Why not? 25--YVienies! Think of it! Ice cream! Soda! How does Miss Rieck expect the Glee Club to sing after all that -but it was on the Glee Club initia- tion. 26--No school this afternoon! Circus in town and the boat excursion on the President tonight-my, my, such society! l 27--Cheer leaders picked-at least they yell loud enough. 28-Did you hear about the Red Dag- ger initiation picnic? Fried chicken, salad, soda-wonder if they would let ine in? 29-Grand assembly-lasted over into the second period. The Tiger Staff members are all poets, aren't they? Line forms to the right to play Post Oflice with Anna Lee. The Tiger columnists are entirely too observing. 30HGood game with Anna, and we were on the right side of the 7 to 0 score. Drum and Bugle Corps sorta went haywire once, but the people in the grandstand thought it was part of the stunt. Glad the Tigerettes have some new members. OCTOBER 2-New week, new month, cold and un- interesting. Clubs meet and that's all. Central in need of some excite- ment. 3-Still cold-looks like summer has gone south. Weren't those three bell ringers ducky ? 36 bells, big, mid- dle-sized, and little. The imperson- ations were good, too. NVe beat Fornfelt in practice game. 4-And colder isave these Weather re- ports-can be used again next yearl. Art Club has picnic this afternoon. Really, now, Johnnie, do you think the fish pond is exactly the place for the Drum and Bugle Corps whistle? 5-Warmer. fHa! Ha! Fooled you that time-thought I'd say cold. J World Series going on and the study halls may listen to the radio, If you wish, and have no studying. Tennis Club is getting started. And did you hear about the kids that skipped school to -go down to the Neighbor Day Picnic at Benton? 6-Football game at Dexter-they got contrary, so we decided to win, 21 to 0. Wonder if there's any more furni- ture on the road- Virginia Lee pick- ed up a nice end table on the way to Dexter, polished it up, and behold! fIt's on the left side of the iireplace.J -120-- EKEW3 To Our Advertisers The Girardot Staff of Central High School Wishes to express its most sincere appreciation to the business men of the community who have so generously con- tributed their support, thereby making possible the publication of this 1934 Girardot.

Don't get alarmed, it was only the Boys' Cooking Club. 1 0-Tennis Club initiation. 11hNothing but clubs, practicing and studying. 13-It may have been Friday, the 13th, but it wasn't unlucky for Central. Those St. Louis Hi-Y boys were fine, and did Central's girls fall for them! A grand football game, even if the score was 13 to 14 in their favor, Poplar Bluff was the villain. 16-We've lost another of our members, at least for the time being.

I know, the six weeks are up and those notebooks are due. 22-Say, Pip, how does it feel to be a cripple? Such popularity that crutches do give you! 24- Tigers today.
