In celebration of this event, the Girardot Staff has attempted to link the developmentof secondary schools in America with the various activities in Central High .School itself and to relate all of the. phases of our school life to the eight cardinal objectives for which high schools were established - citizenship, health, command of the fundamental processes, worthy use of leisure time, vocational training, ethical character, worthy home member- ship and international understanding. w l 1 4 A I FORE OR ' .A il e W---visa Y M If 1 . J i 3 , ,X ,, lj 'id I 3 ' 5 Because of their fine enthusiasm, their dauntless courage in the face of adverse criticism, their unswerving steadfastness of purpose, their sincere love of youth, and- their abiding faith in human kind, We dedicate the 1935 Girardot to that glorious procession of secondary educators who gave so generously of their ef- forts toward the establishment of our far-reaching system of high schools. Their work has undoubtedly made an indispensable contribution to the general pro- gress of education and better living.

One of the main ideals incorporated into this theory is that of uni- versal education. Our reverent hearts are proud as we view the open portals of Central which are a symbol of the sacred right and privilege of every citizen of the United States of America - the right to a complete education at public expense. From the south Central presents another aspect. As her moods are many, so are the types of develop- ment offered within her walls. A broad curricular program gives us the background of knowledge and the varied club activities make possible those social developments which Hnish the combination for a complete education. The front portal of Central High School, flung open wide to the throng of students desiring higher learning, is symbolic of our liberal doctrine of free public education for everyone, regardless of Wealth or position in life. Sturdy and staunch, the massive bulkof the main building rises behind it, and passes to the eye an impression of grandeur and a message of the fidelity to the .great purpose maintained within its walls. id ui As the number of subjects offered has been in- creased with the larger enrollment, and as the cur- riculum has undergone frequent revisions because of changing. demands and new ideas, so have the exterior parts of Central been enlarged. Increased enrollment and a broader course of studies called for more room, so the Annex was built. In one's imagination can be heard the strains of music which have echoed so long through its halls and the voices of joyous pupils happy in their Work. f , S A X Ilg 4 fy Q KVA 5 s 9 i B 4 5 E Q 5 a 5 i E 5 I 1: v S 5 7 - 5 v Y B 5 w I it 1 I r F 5 e 5 E i i 5 3 s z 1 P S E F E s 3: E n H v E E E H E 2 5 E 3 L 11 il V I. 5 5 Ei 5. is ga s if U l g. E Superintendent and School Board To the Students: g - g The high school anniversary should di- rect the attention of all the people to the benefits of education. No factor of hu- man endeavor is of more importance than that of education in the development of man's physical, mental, moral and spiritual nature. Education is no longer the ex- clusive privilege of the few but is now the heritage of the many. Schools are established by the laws of the various states for the betterment of the people and are the basis of our form of government. They are for all the chil- dren of all the people and every citizen contributes in some way to their support and maintenance. America is founded on the right of the people to rule. A democracy can not long endure in a country where ignorance rules supreme. It is the privilege and duty of all who have enjoyed the opportunities afforded at Central to aid in establishing our Re- public with all that is best in us and with all that ennobles and enlightens citizen- ship SUPERINTENDENT WHITEFORD V C Mr. J. A. Whiteford has been Superintendent of Cape Girardeau schools for ten years. As preparation for his work he attended the Northeast Teachers College at Kirksville where he received his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. After graduation there, he obtained a Master of Arts degree from New York University in New York City. Before com- ing to Cape Girardeau, Mr. Whiteford held positions as head of the school systems in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and in St. Joseph, Missouri. Recognition of his ability as an educator brought him twice the office of president and secretary of the Missouri State Teachers Association. Many of the major improvements of Cape Girardeau's public schools have been com- pleted during his administration. Franklin, a grade and junior-high school, was builtg May Greene and Washington were enlarged and improvedg and Central's annex was remodeled, the cafeteria was built, and the yard of the school was graded. The public schools of Cape Girardeau have prospered during the time they have been under the ,direction of Mr. Whiteford, and have shown a steady and consistent improvement.

Through the past 300 years these ideals have been partl- mount and today their prominence is evident. The per- manence of growth and development of any Deople has been dependent upon educational opportunities. History will reveal that countries and nations have endured to the degree to which these have been afforded the people. It is amazing to see how far reaching secondary edu- cation has been extended to provide equal opportunities for the boys and girls of'our country. The time has come when education is not only a privilege but a necessity. The high school graduate has increased his chances many times for a favorable adjustment to life situations. In the past generation, from father to son, the short span of years has placed before us opportunities seldom dreamed I of. From this has evolved the present conception of the New Education which is liberal in its comprehension. i Boys and girls of today are indeed fortunate to have ' the vast educational opportunities at their disposal. For this they should express their sincere gratitude to those who have made it possible. This can best find expression I by taking advantage of opportunities and thus fulfilling the hopes and expectations of parents by becoming sound, loyal, and progressive citizens of tomorrow. I .... ,zicqjf Mr. Louis J. Schultz, our principal, has been at Central High School for six and one-half years. He came to Central in 1925 and for three and one-half years taught in the Industrial Arts department. After having received his degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at the Southeast Missouri State Teachers college in Cape Girardeau, Mr. Schultz obtained his Master of Arts degree at the University of Iowa. Before coming to Cape Girardeau, Mr. Schultz taught in the schools of Morning Sun, Iowag Flat River, Missourig and Pontiac, Illinois. Serving as adviser to the boys of Central High School and general director of social life and activities, Mr. Schultz has a very important position in the school system. He has endeared himself to his pupils and the surrounding community because of his friendliness, humor. and sympathetic understanding of the problems of young people. , 'PO STUDENTS - Down through the centuries the young people of each succeeding generation have passed the portals of learning, Today, through the development of our present system of High School education. these portals are opened wide to the youths of the land. Some pass by, some glance in, and some enter, To those who enter and remain come four years of happy experiences. Amidst the pleasures, the joys, and the hard working hours, they imbibe the spirit . of loyalty-loyalty to their school, to their comrades, to their work and to right thinking, While gathering know- ledge, they learn to manifest the lovely qualities of hon- esty, unselfishness, obedience. patience and self control-- those beautiful attributes which contribute to character building. Thus this essential preparation for the proper selection of social loyalties in early manhood and woman- hood will fortify them with due discrimination and cour- age when the temptation to strive for popularity and ma- terial success may cloud their vision of the one essential loyalty - allegiance to our Maker. M. 'Zion' e txlllke-efklxelevf Mrs. Lucile Settle-Naeter has been here at Central lligh School since 1925. She received her degree of Bache- lor of Science in Education at the Southeast Missouri i State Teachers College in Cape Girardeau, and has at- i tended Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. I During her years in Central Mrs. Naeter has divided her time between teaching and her work as assistant prin- ' cipal. She has taught Algebra, Civics, and History classes. This year she taught several history classes and MRS, NAETER sponsored the Junior Girl Reserves Club, one of the larg- est in Central. As adviser to the girls at Central Mrs. Naeter helps them in their undertakings, approves their ideas and plans, and assists them in making difficult decisions. In addition to her work as adviser, Mrs. Naeter keeps the attendance record for all the students of the school. I l Faculty MARY ALEXANDER, A.

Social Sciences Central College, Fayette, Missouri University of Iowa Facts About Central In accordance with state law, Central High School has for its graduation require- ments sixteen credits, ten and one-half of which are compulsory and five and one-half of which are elective. The units needed for graduation are: English . . . . 4 units Government . . . . . K2 unit History . . . . 2 units Hygiene ........... . . M unit Civics ...... . . . l unit Physical Education . . . . . . M unit Mathematics . . . . . . 1 unit Elective ........... . . . SM units Science ......................... 1 unit The choice of elective subjects is made from the following: Art Economics Public Speaking Bookkeeping Latin Shorthand Chemistry Manual Training Sociology Commercial Arithmetic Mechanical Drawing Typing Commercial Law Physics Vocational Home Economics Drama Plane Geometry In addition to its Wide course of studies, Central High School has Music, Clubs, and Athletics to offer the student as extra-curricular Work. The Music department consists of Orchestra, Band, the two Glee Clubs, the a cappella chorus, the Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps, and the chorus classes. Every student is allowed and urged to join a Monday or a Wednesday club or both, and may join one after-school organization of his choice. There are many types of clubs in Central High School. Several dramatic clubs flourish, there are boys' cooking clubs, a library club, glee clubs, a chemistry club, two kodak clubs, in fact, there are clubs for the development and investigation of subjects in a Wide range of endeavor. Somewhat similar to the clubs, and yet obtainable by a very few, are the Quill and Scroll, the National Honor Society, the Tiger, and the Girardot staffs. The Quill and Scroll is a national honorary organization for high school journalists. Students who fulfill certain requirements and have the required grade average are taken in as members of the Tiger and Girardot Staffs. The National Honor Society is a nation-Wide organization for the recognition of honor students among upper classmen. The members must have a certain number of service points, a high scholarship ranking, and must be judged by the faculty as worthy to be members of the school's chapter. The Tiger Staff is made up of those pupils Who have suc- cessfully passed the tryout tests for membership and who have shown their journalistic ability to the satisfaction of the sponsors. A position on the staff of this paper is important because it is the only timely publication of the school. The Girardot staff is composed of members of the senior class who have been judged fit for positions upon it. The places on this staff are important, too, because the annual compiles the only permanent record of all the happenings throughout the school year. The most important athletics offered in Central High School are Football, Basketball, Track, and Baseball. There is also a system of intra-mural athletics for all boys who are not on regular competitive sports teams. Central High School is housed in two buildings, the main building and the annex. In the larger building there are eighteen classrooms, three corridors with their branches, the gymnasium, the study hall, and the auditorium. The school library is on the second floor and is in combination with the study hall. This building connects With the smaller structure by a covered passage. The lesser building contains the music facilities and the biology, book- keeping, typewriting-shorthand classrooms, and two classrooms devoted to hygiene and history. Opening from the covered passage connecting the two buildings is the cafeteria which was built late in the school year of 1933-1934. In the rear of the building there is a large practice field for football and other sports and for outside gymnastic work. A large green lawn borders the front and south sides of the building and forms an attractive foreground for our modern high school unit. ...16..

In the early years the policy of Spare the rod and spoil the child was heartily endorsed. A strained relation existed between teacher and pupilg learning was a matter of force rather than happy choice. This unseasoned method might be likened un- to the underclassmen who enter our schools. They are inexperienced, unskilled and inefficient. However, in the four years before them a Variety of experiences will be theirs and from these they will emerge as trained seniors with broader horizons and a deeper understanding of the real values of life.

The relation between teacher and student became less strained, and an important change came in the choice of sub- ject matter. A theory now came into vogue which advanced the idea that the real merit of subject matter was in direct proportion to its difficultyg the greater the effort for learning, the more of value it held. Thus the student struggled for hours with difficult though uninteresting subject matter, perhaps acquiring little knowledge of real value and utility. The junior's situation is ,often a laborious one too, for he must 111aSt6r many ideas and acquire numerous skills before he can come to his senior year.

SENIURS Modern methods have brought many desir- able changes in both the learning process and the teaching attitude. The old method of force has given way to an attitude of happy investigation, and there exists between teacher and student a kind and sympathetic understanding. Through friendly cooperation the avenues of knowledge are opened and fascinating discoveries are made. When our seniors leave Central, they have learned the joy and value of group activities in which each individual makes his contribution. They leave to enter a larger social circle Where these lessons of eager investigation and ready co- operation are indispensable. Seniors ' ASHLEY, HUGH He bas brains enougb and to spare.

The earliest extant record of any such school to continue the work of the lower grades is that of the Year 1907- l908. The high school was then in the building on West Broadway now used as a grade school. The only subjects taught during this year were Latin, algebra, English, and history. In that day pupils were graded on their conduct as well as their studies. For the year 1908-1909 there is a little more complete record: the school was still in Broadway, the enrollment was still very small, and the subjects offered were few. In addition to the subjects offered in the previous year, there were music and geometry, and English was now called Language and Literature. There were only fourteen people in the entire high school, and these were all ninth graders, so there were, of course, no seniors. In the third year on record the teachers were rather strict in their grading, and gave marks on application, punctuality, deportment, and attendance as well as for the courses. The curriculum was enlarged by this time and there were now thirty-nine pupils and two grades, the ninth and tenth. Geometry and manual training were added and history was changed to ancient history. In 1910 and 1911 the high school was moved over to the Lorimier School on Inde- pendence and Lorimier. The overseers were offering quite a large curriculum at Lorimier in 1911 and 1912, and there was an enrollment of sixty-seven people, only four of whom were seniors, the remnants of the first freshman class. The curriculum consisted of algebra, geometry, Latin, history, biology, physical geography, English, physics, music, bench- work, mechanical drawing, domestic science, and sewing. During the year 1912-1913 the enrollment increased approximately 2.9Wg that is, there were two more people in school, and nine of them were seniors. Bench-work was dropped this year and manual training adopted in its place, while domestic science was changed to cook- ing and sewing. Music and drawing were added to the curriculum and deportment was re- moved from the grade-sheet. One great addition that might be mentioned was trigonometry. The second semester of that year, trigonometry was dropped temporarily and spelling was instituted. The first half of 1913-1914 saw the addition of bookkeeping, typewriting, and short- hand, and the dismissal of spelling at Lorimier School. In the second half, deportment was readded and civil government was offered for the first time. Trigonometry was re-instated at Lorimier in 1914-1915 and the Latin course was di- vided into three parts - beginning, Caesar, and Cicero. Arithmetic and government were added, the latter probably in place of civil government. In the second semester, Civics was added to government and history, and an advanced algebra class was formed. Central High School was completed in 1914 and in the fall of the year 1915 the high school was moved to its present location. Only one building has been added since then -- the Industrial Arts Building, which was completed in 1921. The first year of Central High School's life had five grades, those from the eighth to the twelfth inclusive. There were 178 pupils in Central the year of 1915-1916 and 19 of them were seniors. The subjects offered that year were: trigonometry, solid geometry, plane geometry, English, shorthand, typewriting, manual training, sewing, cooking, history, agriculture, Vergil, Caesar, 9A Latin, Chemistry, German, music, general science, drawing, and a course in math. Cicero and physical geography were dropped. The following year chorus, ancient history, bookkeeping, and Cicero were added in the first semester, and in the second semester civics and second year German. Between 1917 and 1924 many changes were brought in the curriculum of Central. Of course the United States' entering the war forced the school to drop German, and other ad- ditions and subtractions in regard to subjects offered were made. In the year 1924-1925 the complete curriculum was biology, economics, sociology, French, household arts, general science, Latin, vocational agriculture, vocational home economics, geography, English for all the years, history, civics, algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, chem- istry, manual training, and physics. In 1925 ,the two year art course was placed on a major basis. In 1926-1927 the only subjects added were government, advanced algebra, Vergil, Cicero, trigonometry, commercial English, Missouri history, and hygiene, while geography was dropped. Commercial geography, commercial law and commercial arithmetic were added in 1927-1928. In the year 1928-1929 only ancient history was added. Cu rricula r Developments QCD ntinuedj In 1929-1930 the curriculum was again large and inclusive, in fact, it was almost like the one we have now in Central. It consisted of elementary algebra, American history, general science, Latin, home economics, vocational home economics, art, manual training, physical education, plane geometry, modern history, biology, Caesar, advanced art, commercial geography, commercial arithmetic, American literature, solid geometry, advanced algebra, ancient history, chemistry, Cicero and Vergil Calternate yearsj, commercial English, commercial law, shorthand and typewritingt bookkeeping, hygiene, mechanical drawing, English literature, American government, economics, sociology, and physics. Music was regarded as a sort of extra-curricular activity. In 1930 and 1931 citizenship was exchanged for ancient history- in the Freshman's course, and instead of modern history, there was world history. Vocational agriculture was dropped also. The curriculum remained the same in 1931 and 1932 as it did the following year. In 1933 and 1934 Cicero alternated with Vergil according to demand, and advanced algebra or solid geometry was offered according to demand also. u This year, 1934-1935 the curriculum has had civics, art, Latin, and manual train- ing, which subjects can not be taken by the freshmen. In the sophomore year there are the beginning art and Latin classes, except for those pupils who have come from other schools and who have taken the first portions of these subjects where they formerly attended. The only other additions have been drama and public speaking to the junior courses, and commercial English has been dropped. The requirements for graduation are: English ...................... 4 units Government . . . . M unit History ..... . . . 3 units Hygiene ........... . M unit Mathematics . . . . . . 1 unit Physical Education .... . My unit Science ...................... 1 unit Elective ...................... 5 M units Central offers quite a varied curriculum from which the student may choose his course of studies. Arranged in years, the subjects which give M unit of credit per semester are: 9A - English, algebra, general science, civics. 10B - English, modern history, biology, geometry, manual training, commercial geography, art, Latin IB. 10A - English, modern history, biology, geometry, manual training, commercial arith- metic, art, Latin IA. 11B - English, American history, solid geometry, commercial law, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, mechanical drawing, art, Latin 2B, hygiene, drama. 11A - English, American history, advanced algebra, chemistry, typing, bookkeeping, mechanical drawing, art, Latin 2A, public speaking. 12B - English, government, economics, shorthand-typing, typing, physics, Latin 3B, bookkeeping. 12A -- English, sociology, physics, shorthand-typing, Latin 3A. Those subjects which give one unit of credit per semester are vocational home economics, which can be taken in the sophomore year, and shorthand-typing, which can be taken in the junior year. Music, which is offered throughout the high school career, gives M, unit of credit per semester for graduation. Physical education also gives M, unit of credit, but it is offered only in the freshman and sophomore years. The glee clubs and choruses give M, unit of credit. CENTRAL'S CURRICULUM AND THE EIGHT CARDINAL OBJECTIVES In order to formulate a dennite, concrete set of aims to be accomplished by the high schools, the Commission on Reorganization of Secondary Education in 1918 set up the original eight cardinal objectives for secondary schools. Each of these individual items offers a special branch of achievement for the four year high school career. Their combined result is a better citizen of each individual. Central's curriculum follows closely this outline of purposes for high schools, every subject offered is related, directly or indirectly, to one or more of these objectives. The ap- plications are many, a purpose for the existence of each subject offered is quite visible. The following list is a tabulation of various subjects in Central and their relation to the eight ob- jectives. The evident connections between subject and objective are interesting indeed. A perusal of this list will bring a much wider knowledge of the reasons for certain subjects of- fered and a fuller appreciation of the factors involved.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SECONDARY EDUCATION It is a wide span from the modern high school to the Hrst secondary educational institu- tion in Greece many years ago. There has not always been the great variety of subjects that is commonly taught today, but our own enlarged and extensive curriculum has been developed through years of constant endeavor. The first secondary school was in Greece. Its curriculum was simple, Music, to train the mind, and gymnastics to train the body. However, the inadequacy of these two alone was soon apparent and a more balanced curriculum, consisting of grammar, rhetoric, and logic was offered. Still more improvement was made when arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy were added. After their conquest of the Greeks, the Romans borrowed their educational ideas and im- proved them. They divided education into primary and secondary divisions and established a school that was a predecessor of the modern high schools. In Rome were the grammar school, the school of Rhetoric, and the university. From these three types gradually evolved the grammar school, which was the only educational institu- tion until the university of the Middle Ages. These schools were instituted primarily for the com- bined instruction of religion and philosphy, and to accomplish their purpose they taught Latin and logic. Later, because of increasing commercial needs, the amount of subject matter available was enlarged and Latin grammar, reading, and appreciation of classical authors were taught. In the Hfteenth century there was in Mantua, Italy, a school which pioneered an entirely different idea of education. This school was established for the wealthy classes entirely and taught its pupils subjects conducive to fine private life as well as giving training for the clergy. Until the advent of the Latin grammar school in England and Europe, this type of school flour- ished. The English ideal of the Latin grammar school was carried over to North America almost intact by our English forbears. The subjects Latin, Greek, and writing were taught in these schools of early America. Somewhat similar to the parochial schools maintained by churches to- day, they were supported by the clergy and were maintained to train the children along religious lines. In accord with the great increase in population, the growth of these schools was rapid. By the end of the 17th Century there were approximately forty Latin grammar schools in the United States. Finally, as a result of their inadequacy both in subject-matter and in policy, these schools gradually gave way to the Academy. By 1781 the Latin grammar school had dis- appeared before the greater and more valuable Academy. ...45... P A 1 Curricular Developments fContlnuedj The curricula of the various academies over the United States were widely divergent. The type of course offered depended in the main on the desire of the pupils to learn and on the train- ing and ability of the teachers. Thus no courses of study offered by any two academies were very similar. Most of the emphasis was placed on practical subject matter. The dual purpose of the academy was to finish the student's education and fit him for later life. One of the first of these schools was Franklin's Academy in Philadelphia, which was established in 1751, this was followed by Phillip's Academy at Andover, Massachusetts, in 1778. However, it was not until well into the nineteenth century that the academy movement as a whole began to gather momentum. A Since the academy was not in any way connected with the common school and since it was patronized chiefly by the richer class, a new school had to be developed which would be available to everyone. The result of this demand was the modern public high school. The transition from the academy to the high school was so gradual that no definite date can be set for it. From 1780 to 1850 over six thousand academies were incorporated in the United States, but their best period was from 1840 to 1850. The date generally accepted as that of the arrival of the high school is 1865, although the English Classical School was founded in 1821 and many other high schools were established before this date. The characteristics of the high school were: C15 it demoted the classics and placed new emphasis on the study of English, C25 it provided for entrance to some form of vocation, C31 it provided a three year course of study, Q45 as was the Latin grammar school, it was non-coeduca- tional, Q55 it admitted boys at the age of twelve, instead of nine, and C65 it co-operated with the common school. As adopted in 1821 the course of study was of three years duration. The first year con- sisted of composition, reading from approved authors, exercises in criticism, comprising the cri- tical analyses of the language, grammar, and style of the best English authors, their errors and beauties, declamation, geography, and arithmetic. The second year course was: Composition, reading, exercises in criticism, declamation, algebra, ancient and modern history, and chronology, Logic, Geometry, Plane Trigonometry, and its application to mensuration of heights and distances, navigation, surveying, mensuration of surfaces and solids, and forensic discussion. In the third year, the course of studies included composition, exercises in criticism, decla- mation, mathematics, logic, history, particularly that of the United States, natural philosphy, in- cluding astronomy, and moral and political philosophy. The object of secondary schools gradually changed from giving mere practical training to a means of preparing for college. In 1871 the accrediting system, that of giving a certain number of credits for a definite amount of time spent on each subject, was begun in Michigan. The Hrst coeducational high school was established in Chicago in 1856 and was called Central High School, and in 1844 the first truly vocational school was established in Baltimore. It train- ed its pupils for various trades and vocations and was called the Manual Training School, this name was changed to the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in 1853. In 1913 the Commission on Reorganization of Secondary Education was appointed by the National Educational Association, and five years later it made a report stating the eight cardinal objectives of secondary education -- Health, Command of Fundamental Processes, Worthy Home Membership, Vocational Training, Civic Education, Worthy Use of Leisure Time, Ethical Char- acter, and International Understanding - which are the goals towards which all high schools strive, even today. Various systems and ratios of years throughout grade school and high school to the college have been devised. The first was the 8-4 plan-eight years elementary education and four years secondary or high school learning. Except in the South this plan was generally adopted by 1890. Later a 6-3-3 plan, which gave six years of primer work, three years junior high school, and three years high school, was substituted for the original plan. It was first used at Berkeley in 1909, and today is the more popular. Recently a 6-4-4 plan has been tried. Hence the great secondary school movement has spread throughout America until now there are 28,000 high schools maintained at public expense for the benefit of the 6,000,000 boys and girls who attend them. They are served by 240,000 teachers specially trained for such work. The influence of this great group is destined to be felt throughout America and the entire world, for it is here that skills are laid and hearts are inspired to press onward in the march of civilization. -46- ' ss . 3 HERE AND THERE IN CENTRAL CLASSROOMS 1.

In order to insure these inalienable rights for ourselves and for posterity, our schools must educate definitely for a high type of citizenship which will train students to be helpful and cooperative members of their social groups and instill in them a true sense of values and a kind consideration for the rights of others. UBJ ECTI E Student Council The Student Council stands out above all other school groups in the furtherance of good citizenship indCentral. Its members are chosen by the various home room groups. The council determines the major policies of school government and is a powerful force in estab- lishing a spirit of cooperation among the students and in solving the problems of the school at large. 5 The work of the Council is divided among several committees which function in the dif- ferent departments. The Boys' and Girls' Athletic committee work out the athletic programs and the Attendance committee awards the attendance cup. Lost articles are restored to students through the Lost and Found division. The attractiveness of our surroundings is due largely to the Building and Grounds committee. Another valuable service is rendered through the Book Exchange, which makes for an easy and economical distribution of text books.

National Honor Society The highest honor that Central can bestow on a student is to admit him to the Girardo Central Chapter of the National Honor Society. Only fifteen per cent of the Seniors A's, ten per cent of the Senior B's, and five per cent of the Junior A's can be admitted to membership. Election to this society is based on the student's character, scholarship, leadership and service. A certain number of service points is required also with the above requisites before a student can be elected. The Honor Society sponsors an assembly program each semester for the formal initiation of new members and holds a banquet the same evening in their honor. A speaker is the main feature of the banquet and the alumni are guests. OFFICERS Presidents--Dorothy Williams, Bill Mi'ller. Vice-Presidents-Betty Whitelaw, Dorothy Wil- liams.

For membership, students must have an M average, be of junior or senior ranking, and stay on probation one semester before final admittance. Those desiring entrance must give details for several good stunts that could be used at games. Members are always present at games in uniform to cheer the team through to victory or defeat and to give stunts between halves. This year for the benefit of the student body, the Tigerettes sponsored pep assemblies at noon so the students were able to learn and practice the yells. They also had charge of the election of football queen. Mary Louise Himmelberger was selected for that honor, and was crowned at the pep assembly before the Thanksgiving day game by the Captain, Gailen Hobbs.

HEALTH To be an efficient and happy member of society one must have good health. Realizing the interdependence of the physical and the mental, schools have incorporated into their programs a plan of physical education which provides for the need of proper exercise and an intelligent understanding of the basic prin- ciples of body care, thus creating a desire for that indispensable attainment of positive health. OBJECTIVE Footba I I COACH MUEGGE After an absence of three years, Coach Muegge has returned to Central from Steelton, Pennsylvania. Muegge first coached here in 1928 immediately after leaving the University of Illinois, where he participated in wrestling and was an outstanding linesman on the football team. In the three years he was here, his teams maintained a successful record with the sweep- ing football victory of the 1929 season. He then went to Steelton and remained there for a three year period, returning to us in the summer of 1934. Coach Muegge has not only de- veloped excellent teams but has stimulated a wider interest in intramural and physical educa- tional work, as well. As a new feature, a special course for the correction of physical defects has been added. Through the physical education program he has created among the boys the desire and ambition for better bodies, and has fostered among them a keen desire for positive health and a high type of sportsmanship. RAY LANGSTON, MANAGER - Although Ray had one of the most responsible positions on the squad, Lanky fulfilled his duties well, supplying the team with first aid and keeping the equipment in good condition at all times. GAILEN HOBBS, Captain, RIGHT GUARD -- Hobbs was outstanding in both offense and defense and added very definite strength to the line by his fine performance. He will be missed by the team and the fans next year. - FOOTBALL SEASON With a new coach, a new team, and new orange suits, but with the same old pep and spirit, Central went through the 1934 Football season. An unusually large squad reported, most of whom remained all season. Though they can not all receive letters, they must be given credit for their patient bench-warming and help in practice scrimmage. The first engagement of the season, with Perryville, contained another new feature, -- it was the first night game in Central's football history. The first half was scoreless but in the second period, as the clouds broke loose, so did Central to put over two touchdowns as the spectators ran for shelter. Thus the Tigers won the first game of the season, 12-0. In the next encounter, our Tigers met with Central's old jinx, Farmington, and after a hard fought game, suffered the usual defeat with a 7-6 score. l ! Football I The team came back strong in the next game to defeat entirely the Poplar Bluff Mules. Clicking with passes and plunges, they put over five touchdowns and overwhelmed the Mules 32-0. In the 4th battle, the team hit its old fall-guy, Dexter, who didn't seem to want to fall this time and it was only after a tough struggle that late in the game our men eked out a 9-8 decision. Both teams scored a safety in the contest and both displayed their clean sports- manship, neither team received a single penalty. The strongest team Charleston has had for many years upset Tiger hopes in the next tussle by outplaying the team in every phase of the game and outpointing it 13-12 for their first victory over Cape since the organization of the Little Six Conference. Despite the bad weather, a large crowd assembled for the Cape-Paducah tilt to witness the usual Tiger defeat at the hands of the Tornadoes. Central, always the underdogs in these games, put up a stiff iight but was outplayed and outweighed by the superior Kentuckians. The slippery, muddy Held made it difficult for either team to gain a footing or hold the ball, and frequent punts were made. Central was able to hold the opposition to one touchdown during the first half, but the weight and strong reserves of Tilghman began to tell in the second period and they scored three more touchdowns, making a total of 26-0. In their second night game, Central played the last conference game of the season with Caruthersville. Playing on a hard, fast field, the Tigers showed good form, scored in every quarter, and trounced the southern Tigers 25-12. Central bowed 7-0 before the Duquoin High of Illinois in the first game ever played between the two teams. The Tigers seemed to lack their fight and scoring punch, for the Illinois team outplayed them the whole game despite the fact that they played without their two negro stars in courtesy to the Missouri visitors.

Q -57... Football The annual Turkey day tilt with Jackson was waived to meet for the first time Car- bondale High, claimants of the Illinois State Championship. The underdog Tiger eleven fell before the onslaught of this undefeated team 14-0. The powerful Illinois team demonstrated its weight advantage and superior ability throughout the game, but Central's lighting spirit and stubborn defense against Carbondale's fierce attacks enabled them to hold to two touch- downs the strongest team in Illinois. A JOHN CRABTREE, Left End - Alfalfa started the season late but immediately gained a berth on the team. His blocking and tackling made him outstanding on both offense and defense. ED ARNOLDI, Guard - Arnoldi's size and weight made him a capable linesman. His excellent blocking and tackling will also lend strength to Central's line next season. HOWARD KIEHNE, Left Tackle - Kiehne was a strong, stout, sturdy player and made his presence felt on both offense and defense. His presence on Central's line will be missed next year. NELSON STEIMLE, Right Guard - Steimle was a most pugnacious player and had the strength and determination that make a good football man. His type of playing will make him out- standing on next year's squad. - CHARLES BOWERMAN, Guard and Center -- Base always handled his weight to good ad- vantage and proved to be a stout guard as well as capable center. Many an extra point was made by his educated toe and it was on him we relied for the kickoffs. ALBERT SEBEK, Right Tackle - Sebek was a strong, consistent player. His position on the line has been well taken care of for the past two seasons as it will be next season with him back. BILL HENSLEY, Right Tackle - Hensley was always in the way of the opposition sent through him as well as being able to open holes for his backs. He will be a strong link in Central's chain next year. JIMMIE DONELSON, Left Half-back - Although one of the smallest men on the team, he was one of the most consistent players. His hard, fast drives were always sure gains. Donelson will certainly be a star next year. IRVIN MOSS, Left End - Moss was a cool, consistent end, who played good football through- out the season. He will undoubtedly be a dependable force on the 1935 team. CARLTON DARLING, Left End -- Smiley was our star end, being the only lineman on the team to make the Southeast Missouri All-Star team. He was a good pass-snatcher and a sure tackler. His place will be hard to fill next year. . I Football GLEN BISHOP, Left Tackle - In his first year of football, Bish proved to be a rugged, hard- hitting end. His opponents found it difficult to get through his side of the line as Glen was always ready for them. MELVIN SCHWAB, Right End -- Schwab played his first and last year of football this season. He was an able player and often broke up his opponents plays behind their line. PAUL HARRIS, Right Half-buck - Playing his first year of football, Harris' hard running and consistent gains added an extra punch for the backs. He will be at Central next year and is sure to develop into a fine player. JOHN DONOHO, Right Half-back - Donoho was a flashy backfield man, being a most consistent ball-carrier and a hard tackler. He will be a sore loss to next year's team. FRED MAMMON, Full-back - Mammon was one of the mainstays of the team. Besides be- ing a fine blocker and hard runner he was depended upon for all the passing and punting. His punting is to be complimented. In one game he got off an eighty yard punt. WILLIAM TUPPER, Center - Willie took good care of the pivot position. His passing was dependable, his blocking commendable, I-Ie will be in the key position again next year. MILFORD SEABAUGH, Quarter-back -- Seabaugh was outstanding for his hard playing. Dis- regarding personal injuries he hit his man like he meant it. Because of his hard tackling and broken field running, he was placed on the Southeast Missouri All-Star team, the only backfield man to be so honored. FRED DORMEYER, Quarter-back - Freddie always played heads-up football and his speed and endurance made many a touchdown for Central. Unfortunately, this is his last year. MAURICE DUNKLIN, Quarter-back - Dunk,' made a snappy little quarter-back. He used his head and called signals like a veteran. His type of tactics will be missed in next year's lineup. BILL SCHUMACHER, Guard - 'Though Swede was not an outstanding player, his strength and power made him well qualified for his position as guard. This is his last year of football.

Basketball Season Although our basketball season was not so successful from the standpoint of games won, we must admire the team's Hghting spirit, its determination, and good sportsmanship shown throughout the season, win or lose. The season was opened with a game against Benton. It was a game. of speed and action with Central leading the entire time, but in the last few min- utes' play they were nosed out with a 22-20 defeat for their first encounter. The next game they went up against the Fornfelt five and due to a third period rally overcame them 33-25. The Tigers next attacke.d Farmington and deluged them with the largest victory of the season 24-9. Our old rivals from the Teachers Training High were our next opponents but they too went down before Central's onslaught 29-25. In like manner, the Bengals put down Carbondale, of football fame, with a 37-33 defeat. In their second encounter, Central again swamped the Farmington Knights with a score of 25-12. In a rather listless game, the Tigers scored another victory in their second contest with Fornfelt, edging them out 19-17. The powerful Paducah quintet put an end to the winning streak of Central by barely conquering us 18-17 in a hard fought exciting tussle.. But in the next game the terrible Tigers were completely tamed by the famous Fruitland five with a 31-15 score. Central was next massacred by the Indians of Jackson who inflicted a 29-14 defeat. In their second meeting the Preps evened up the series for the city champ- ionship by conquering Central 30-28 in an extra period, thus maintaining the old jinx. ' Our next tussle was with Carbondale whom we drubbed for the second time 21-15, our last Victory. In the final home battle Central put up a strong fight but in the last few minutes was forced to falter before the final rally of the formidable Fruitlanders and thus failed 15-19. In one of the roughest games of the season Central was again subdued by the Tilghman Tornadoes by a score of 21-17. . At Jackson, Cape again bowed before the Indians. In the second quarter Central allowed them to pile up a lead they could not overcome and the game ended 19-10. C In their last game, the Tigers were overcome by the stubborn Poplar Bluff Mules who staged a rally late in the final period to come out on the big end of a 28-24 score. '--60-- Basketball Central engaged in three tournaments this season. The first was the Southeast Missouri High School Athletic Conference tourney held in the middle of the season at Houck Field House. Central managed to qualify for the semi-finals by winning from Perryville 20-19. They then overwhelmed Dexter 27-14, but in the finals were triumphed over by Jackson 16-14, thus placing second in the tourney. In the Regional Tourney staged at Sikeston, Central beat Morehouse 38-33 in the Hrst round but was eliminated in the quarter finals by Dexter 26-20. Fruitland represented this district at Columbia as a result of this contest. - Central again participated in the District Tourney sponsored by the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College. The Tigers breezed through the first two games, defeating Illmo 43-16 and Morley 30-13 but bowed to Dexter 21-20. Central thus gained third place, defeating Lutesville 32-18 in the consolation finals.

The material was green with only a few letter men left over from last season, but our greatest weakness was the fact that our team was unbalanced. The track men were fair, but we lacked capable field men to gain points. However, despite their inexperience, through practice and effort our team won some meets later in the season. We owe a great deal also to Mr. Wright whose coaching was in- dispensable to the boys. ' Our opening meet was with Carbondale, Illinois, who nosed us out by a two point margin. Each team scored seven firsts but they piled up more seconds and thirds to take the meet 62 to 60. In our second encounter, we were again defeated in a dual meet with Poplar Bluff. The Mules won ten of the fourteen events but the Tigers got enough seconds and thirds to make the score 67 to 56. Central scored its first victory in a triangular meet with the College Preps and Jackson. We nosed out Jackson 55 to 50 while the Preps trailed with 17 points. Not with any intention of winning, but to keep up interest in track, Central entered one big track meet, The Maplewood Relay. Only one relay team was taken but they were unable to get past the preliminaries. The squad also attended the Harrisburg Relays in Illinois and scored ten points, winning two fourths and a fifth out of four relays entered. In our next home meet, the Tigers gained a victory over Perryville High. Each team scored seven firsts, but the Bengals grabbed eleven seconds to overwhelm them 74 to 48. Central also participated in the Southeast Missouri Conference Meet.

Baseball For the past three years the Boys' Sports Club has sponsored baseball, and in that time has developed and stimulated an interest in this sport. They have furnished their own equip- ment, doing much on their own initiative, till now they have broadened out and are playing a' school from St. Louis County, Kirkwood High. Baseball offers an opportunity for the less brawny boys to engage in athletics, and thus many boys participate in baseball who go in for no other sport. Despite heavy interest in track and spring football, there was a sufficient number of boys interested in baseball to pick a strong team and to stage an interesting intramural pro- gram. Four teams were organized: the Yanks under Mr. Magill, the Tigers under Mr. Med- calf, the Aces under Mr. Weis, and the Cards under Mr. Buckner. The Tigers were the victors of this intramural tourney, which ranked in the following order: Team Won Lost Team Won Lost Tigers 3 0 Aces 0 Yanks 2 1 Cards 0 From the intramural league was picked our inter-scholastic team. It consisted of Beaudean - Dunklin - Catchers Mayer - 3rd Base Bartlett - Schwab - Pitchers Wilsoim - Left Field Wessel - 1st Base Howe -- Center Field Hunze - Rauh - 2nd Base Grayson - Right Field Masterson - Shortstop Wells - sub.

Thus it was not necessary to offer any additional opportunities for physical development. Basketball was the only sport from which boys were out, thus basketball was practically the only intramural game. It proved to be Very popular, there being over a hundred boys reporting. These. were divided into teams lettering from A to M, and games were scheduled after school. The tournament was fol- lowed with a great deal of interest and was finally won by Milford Seabaugh's tC21'I'1. TENNIS The tennis team this year under Mr. Pritchard's direction, consisted of: Alvin Cwens, Herbert Lueders, Ralph Lueders, Edwin Mosely, Jimmy Barney, Webster Pell, Mable Clarke, and Julia Bohnsack. Their first match was with Illmo, who triumphed over them 6-0. They have a return meet scheduled, and also one with the Preps. In the annual Southeast Missouri contest at the College, Central was represented by Alvin Owens and Herbert Lueders. However, they failed to get beyond the first games in the doubles. In the singles, Owens won the first round by a forfeit, but lost in the second to the Preps. PING PONG About thirty students participated in the ping-pong tournament which was won by Bennie Baker in the boys' division and Eleanora Sykes in the girlS'. Two tournaments were held which proved very successful. Cirls' Athletics We received not only a new coach this year but also a new director for girls' athletics. Miss Alexander is well qualified in this work, having been assistant director of girls' athletics for two years at the Southeast Missouri State Teachers Col- lege where she received her A. B. and B. S. degrees. She has proved to be an able instructor in all forms of sports. By introducing new features she has greatly enhanced the athletic program and has stimulated an interest in intramural work, emphasiz- ing the ideas of fair play and clean sportsmanship, which are, after all, the bases of all sports. Miss ALEXANDER THE GIRLSLATHLETIC PROGRAM Good sportsmanship, cooperation, rhythmic training, and physical improvement were the keynotes stressed in this department. Instruction in volleyball, basketball, and baseball was offered, and rule tests of these three games were initiated this year. Folk dancing was also an item added to the program. SWIMMING Swimming is an important phase of physical education which Was added to the girls' program the second semester. Arrangements were made with the Teachers College to rent the swimming pool two nights a week and regular classes were held with instruction being given to beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes of swimmers. Each group met on Tues- day and Thursday nights for periods of forty-five minutes and regular physical educational credit was given for this course. It has proved to be one of the most popular as well as beneficial phases of physical education offered, with a combined number of fifty girls enrolled in the three classes. ..67... lntramural Program This year the girls Physical Education Department has sponsored an extensive intra- mural program under the management of the Girls' Sport Club. Practice periods after school were arranged for every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30 and the tournament players were selected from the groups responding to these sessions. I VOLLEYBALL Volleyball was part of the intramural program and was carried on in the fall under the student management of Una Norman with approximately seventy girls attending the practice periods. A tournament was organized in November with nine teams participatingg the sopho- more B's were the victors. BASKETBALL In basketball, the practice attendances were so large that divisions were necessary and the seniors and juniors were assigned to Tuesday, with the freshmen and sophomores meeting on Thursday. At the end of the season a heated tourney was staged with nine teams again engaged. The senior A's were triumphant in this contest which entitled them to have their class name engraved on the new plaque purchased by the Sports Club. PING PONG Ping pong was initiated as an intramural sport among girls this year under the man- agement of Mabel Clarke. It was discovered that this once-termed juvenile game required more physical fitness and dexterity than was supposed and the tournament was followed with a great deal of interest. There was also a single tournament held for both boys and girls. Participants in the tournament were: Helen Bond, Mary Moore, Emma Jean Harris, Margaret Jean Mills, Helen Hilpert, Marie McGuire, Helen Metje, Dorothy Kiehne, Mary Frances Dunivan, Mabel Clarke, Esther Coffer, Helen McCullough, Eleanora Sykes, Virginia Crites, Myra Jean Wells, Delphine Jenkins, Bertha Seabaugh, Alta Cook, Venita Clark, Alene Metje. Eleanora Sykes emerged as winner. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Row 1 -- Alberta Hanf, Helen.

The groups were divided into six different color teams, named for various holidays, participating in relays, volleyball, snatch, corner ball, long ball, baseball, newcomb, and dodge ball throughout the day. Luncheon was served in the cafeteria and a swim in the State College pool after the afternoon activities finished our first annual playday. Mabel Clarke was general chairman and was assisted by a group of special chairmen. The play for play's sake idea was the key-note of the program and received a big response from the girls. Between sixty and seventy girls were present at our first playday and were placed on six different teams: the Easter, New Year's, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Christmas, and Washing- ton's Birthday teams. Maxine Hinton was program chairman, Aileen Leake, publicity and score chairman, Helen Hilpert, equipment chairmang Venita Clark, food chairman, Lillian Baldwin, registration chairman. We feel that such response to our first playday at Central testifies to the demand for them, and we hope to have even bigger ones in future years. The Sports Club accomplished an excellent project in initiating and financing this feature for girls and is taking a step in the right direction toward the establishing of annual events of this kind. At the State College Playday given on April 13 by the Women's Athletic Association for the high schools of Southeast Missouri, Central was invited to send ten representatives. These girls were elected by popular vote from the athletic clubs and the physical education classes. Maxine Hinton, Norma Vogel, Marie Suedekum, Veva Grayum, Mary Lou Bohnsack, Robbie Williams, Cuma Hobbs, Leona Bergmann, Rose Gerhardt, and Mabel Clarke represented our school.

Its purpose is to teach the young girls to face life squarely and to find and give the best that is in them. They are continually trying to find ways of helping others. This year during Christ- mas they sent out baskets to the poor. As a social activity they gave a tea for the faculty of Central, sponsored the popular annual Date Partyn, and crowned their Dandelion Queen .

It tends to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The boys' motto is: Clean sports, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean living. Dynamic:-Contagious Christian character. Throughout the year the Hi-Y meetings were devoted to the study of the Bible, a survey of the churches of Cape Girardeau, and in discussion of the values of clean living. Their two outside speakers were Mayor Drum and the Reverend Mr. McGinty. The Hi-Y, like the Girl Reserve organizations distributed baskets among the needy at Christmas time. As a social function they gave a banquet for their members and a group of their alumni. Another worthwhile activity of the club was sponsoring the contest for the selection of the most polite boy and girl in Central High.

If they acquire a technique of reading, the fundamental processes in mathe- matics, a mastery of spoken and Written lan- guage, and the basic facts of the history and the sciences, they have the fundamentals upon which to build any specialized skill which they may find adapted to their needs and abilities. Q OBJ ECTI F0 V Math Club The purposes of the Math Club are to create and to promote interest in Mathematics, to investigate certain phases of Mathematics not included in class room work, and to learn something of the practical application of mathematical principles in various vocations. The students find this information useful and helpful every day. The members spent their club periods in blackboardrelays and in games of checkers and chess. They worked mathematical puzzles and problems and held a very interesting checker tournament. To vary the club activities, a number of biographies of famous mathe- maticians were reviewed.

Le Societe' des Alchemiste One of the most fascinating and useful branches of science is that of chemistry. The students of Central interested in this field of learning formed Le Societe des Alchemiste in the fall of 1934. ,Most phases of the club's Work deal with the practical applications of the funda- mental principles of the science. ' A One of the most thorough studies made this year was in the composition of synthetic dyes. Drawn from coal tar and various other common sources, these products make one of chemistry's greatest contributions to the world.

Although it is not possible for the club to give professional training, it does give the student an opportunity to discover whether he might have an aptitude for this type of work. The club periods were spent in learning the fundamentals regarding the mechanics and operation of the typewriting machine and in the acquisition of a degree of writing skill during the practice periods.

WGRTHY USE OF LEISURE TIME Our modern age of mechanical efficiency has brought to us an increased amount of leisure. In order that this time may be put to Worthy uses, our schools are endeavoring to point the way to pleasurable and profitable activities which will lead to happy fulfillment and to a realiza- tion of one's highest self. o UBJ ECTI FIVE Q Orchestra Music provides a worthy and enjoyable use of leisure time. One of the most interest- ing group music activities in Central is the orchestra, which has been in existence for fifteen years. The instrumentation has been very much improved by the addition of an oboe and a bassoon. Central was very much honored by having six members of the orchestra selected to go to Kansas City to play in the All State Orchestra for the State Teachers' Meeting in No- vember. Those chosen were: Frances Lucas, Elizabeth Bahn, Ivan Niedling, Bernard Samuels, Mary Helen Summers, and Melvin Leo Wagner. Quite a number of the members played in the All Southeast Orchestra for the District Teachers Meeting here in October. Music was provided for many events in Central. Some of them were: Red Dagger Play, Senior Play, Silver Spear Plays, and Commencement. The orchestra gave an assembly pro- gram, some selections on the annual Music Week in May program, and a concert for the upper grades in public schools.

Band The band has had a very successful year in which the membership has grown from forty to fifty-five. A much better tone balance has been secured by the addition of two new Sousaphones, an oboe, bassoon, and twelve new members in the clarinet section. On several occasions the band has been asked by the public to participate in parades and other programs. Some of these were: Chamber of Commerce School Day Parade, South- east Missourian Anniversary Parade, S. E. M. H. S. A. C. Basketball Tournament, and Kirks- ville-Teachers Football Game. Concerts were given at the State Teachers College and at all the grade schools in the city. The band gave stunts at all the football games and most of the basketball games of Central. The assembly program during the second semester was very diversified and thoroughly enjoyable.

A A -81- Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps The Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps is one of the busiest groups in Central. They practice drilling and playing many evenings after school, march in civic and school parades, and give stunts during intermission at athletic events. Last fall the drums were painted white, and new white drum straps were bought. These, with the white and orange outfits, made the organization's appearance very effective. A new plan was inaugurated this year by having the Drum and Bugle Corps give a public concert with the band at the stadium. They also played at the annual Field Day Meet. Plans are now being formulated for the organization of a marching unit for drill purposes only in addition to the present marching and playing group. .

I A Cappella Chorus The outstanding accomplishment of the music department this year has been the organi- zation of an a cappella chorus. It was started at the beginning of the second semester with twenty-five original members. The chorus, vested in black robes with gold satin stoles, makes a very effective appearance. The a cappella chorus sang for the first time at the February meeting of the Parent Teachers Association. They appeared at the Rotary Club's meeting in the cafeteria, five o'clock Easter service at Centenary Methodist Church, the Business and Professional Women's Annual Public Relations Banquet, Commencement, and Baccalaureate Exercises. Concerts were given in Charleston, Perryville, Sikeston, and Benton assisted by the String Quartette, and they were well received. The repertoire of the chorus was interesting because of its variety and range. Their pro- gram numbers were as follows: Lo, What a Beauteous Rose - Praetorius, Czech-Slovakian Dance Song , Sleep of the Child Jesusl' - Gavaert, To Maelzel - Beethoven, Since First I Saw Your Face - Ford, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot -- Nobel Cain, and Fairest Lord Jesus.

The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs under Miss Rieck's direction have accomplished much this year. They presented a musical comedy, An Act of Up-to-Date Opera in assembly the iirst semester with Dorothy Williams, Narvol Randol, and Murrel McCumber carrying the solo parts. They also Sang for Baccalaureate, Commencement exercises, and gave a Music Week Concert. The Girls' Glee Club adopted new outfits of white tailored dresses and orange ties this year. The combined clubs decided on a black and gold pin which is to be the standardized emblem. The songs in t.he Girls' Glee Club repertoire include: Startlings , Song Of the Pedlar , O Lovely May , and Let All My Life Be Music .

Some of the members gave talks on their hobby at a P. T. A. session, The Crossword Puzzle Club spent its time in working puzzles from newspapers and in creating original ones.

It is not only a splendid form of using one's leisure time, but it gives to the person a keenness of the eye and steadiness of the nerves which are required in shooting and hunting. 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 pleasant form of recreation. The meetings of the club were spent in the study of the proper methods of making bows and arrows and in learning the technique of shooting them. Much interest was added by the two tournaments which were held during the club periods. OFFICERS Presidents -- Howard Kiehne, Stubby Thompson, Vice-Presidents - J. D.

Q WORTHY HUME MEMBERSHIP The high school is cndeavoring not only to make good school and community citizens, but has planned a part of its program for the mak- ing of worthy home members. Many practical courses are offered which help students to make a wholesome contribution to the family life of which they are ia part. Other phases of Work arc designed to stimulate that idealism and beauty of living Which give inspiration and meaning to life. Boys' Cooking Club Today it is just as natural to see a boy cooking as it is to see a girl, for they no longer think of the kitchen as a girl's place , but as a part of the home where they too can find en- joyment. In order to meet the demand for this type of training, the Boys' Cooking Club was formed in 1929 under the supervision of Mrs. Bohnsack and was then transferred to 'Miss Warner. The purpose of this club is to give the boys an appreciation of the work of the home- maker, to make the boys more independent, and to give them some knowledge of food Values. This year the boys prepared sandwiches and other foods suitable for hikes or picnics and such simple dishes as those used for breakfast and lunch.

Its activity periods are spent in the study and preparation of foods. During the first semester the members studied the theory and chemistry of food combinations. Their real chance for practice came this term in the preparation of a wide variety of dishes. Although they probably do not acquire any great amount of culinary skill, these boys do learn some of the fundamental processes and also gain a deeper appreciation of this phase of home life. y I L OFFICERS Presidents - Henry Phelps, Louis Beaudeang Vice-Presidents - George Hamby, Palmer Bodeg Secretaries -- Robert Tallent, H.

This group of parents, teachers, and others interested in adolescent boys and girls meet each month at the school to discuss questions facing the home, school, and the community at large. The purposes of this association are as follows: Q11 to understand more fully the plans and aims of education and how to realize them, Q21 to promote child welfare, Q31 to know the school, its needs, its plans, and its programs of procedure, and to be a real factor in helping it to accomplish them, Q41 to link the school and the parents together and pro- vide for better understanding of school affairs among the parents, Q51 to sup- port the teachers, Q61 to supplement the efforts of the school board. This year the organization used as the theme for its programs, Edu- cation for the Leisure. Many interesting ways of making a worthy use of leisure time were demonstrated by song, lecture, and drama. In order to get more fathers t'o attend, four night meetings were held instead of the usual one. On all of the P. T. A. programs students appeared, mostly in group demonstrations of school activities which have given the parents information with regard to what the school is doing. On practically every program, some division of the music department appeared. The newly organized a cappella chorus made its first appearance. for one of the P. T. A. meetings. Besides student talent for programs, there was both parent and teacher participation. If I Were a Parent, an original play, was presented by a group of members at the December meeting. The P. T. A. sponsored a benefit dinner in the school cafeteria on February 7, which proved to be a financial success and a happy social occasion as well. At different meetings, spe.akers were featured. Some of them and their topics were: Mrs. W. P. Caruthers, The History of the P. T. A. g Mrs. Charles Harrison, Social Hygiene , Miss Sadie Kent, The Library and Child at Home and in School , President W. W. Parker, New Trends in Educat'ion 3 Dr. Anita E.

VOCATIUNAL GUIDANCE If high schools are to perform the Worthy work of guidance which will lead students into useful and desirable avenues of endeavor, they must offer some plan for vocational training and experimentation. For the promotion of this W01'k the Federal Vocational Educational Act was passed in 1917. It is the American ideal that this plan of experimentation and practical application will help students to make that intelligent choice of an occupation which will lead to economic independence and a happy adjustment to life about them. UBJ ECTI E SEVE Art Club Art is a subject that will never grow old. It will always be enjoyed either as a vocation or a recreation. An understanding of its principles will do much toward giving one that en- viable quality called good taste. Our present economic and industrial organization has provided an excess of leisure for people in all walks of life. Many have found happiness in self expression through some form of art. Knowing this value, the Art Club endeavors to teach a genuine appreciation of beauty in all its forms and to provide for an active participation in these activities which develop art skill. This year several speakers interested in art addressed the club. Miss Mary Elizabeth Drum, fashion designer in the advertising department at Stix, Baer, and Fuller, related some of her experiences. Mrs. Ira D. Crewdson, having spent ten years in Japan, talked on the dif- ferent phases of art in Japan. Miss Helen Bedford, art instructor at the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, talked on the art of Mexico. As a club period project the Art Club redecorated the cabinets and lower walls of the art room, and also repainted the statuary.

Nurses' Club Cnc of Central's clubs which offers direct vocational guidance is the Nurses' Club. Their work consists chiefly of the administration of first aid and the treatment of contagious diseases. Membership is open to those girls who are interested in this type of work. Although the club does not train the girls for professional work, it does give them an understanding of the basic fundamentals of this vocation. As a supplement to their regular study, much helpful knowledge was gained through observation trips to the two local hospitals.

CAMERA AND KODAK CLUBS Two Central organizations which provide both a worthy use of leisure time and a type of vocational guidance are the Kodak and Cainer Clubs. Their work consists of a study of the various processes used in photography, ranging from the taking of a picture to the finishing processes and enlargements, Thus they provide for the acquisition of photographic skill and also give enough actual experience that a student may gain some idea of the possibilities of such work as a life's career.

Electrical Engineers Today there is a great demand for Electrical Engineers and there is a great opportunity for many boys interested in the electrical field. In 'order to further this interest among the boys in Central the Electrical Engineers, Club was organized. The work of the club deals with electrical problems of different types and with the basic principles of this phase of engineering. The boys spend their club sessions in discussing recent electrical developments and in taking field trips which furnish concrete material for their observation.

T96..-. Cirardot Staff Editing the school annual brings real pleasure and valuable experience to the Girardot Staff of Central High. The pleasure of giving to the students a record of the outstanding events and happenings of the school year and the experience of successfully publishing a book of happy memories are both highly desirable. However, much of the success of the project is justly due to the hearty cooperation of the entire faculty and student body. The work is divided into three sections. The art and literary groups are supervised by Miss Reed, and Miss Krueger takes care of the financial division. The business sessions of the staff are held usually during the Monday club periods, but most of the other Work is done in meetings after school hours. It is hoped that the book will give enjoyment to the students now and in years to come, when they look back over their high school days and recount those happy experiences which filled their stay within the friendly portals of Central.

INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING Now that rapid travel and efficient com- munication have increased our possibilities for intercourse with other nations, the need for International Understanding has become more imperative. Hence our schools are training their students to appreciate the spirit of fair play and World peace and are endeavoring to stimulate in them that liberal tolerance of the opinions and customs of other peoples throughout the world which will lead to a real brotherhood of men. 1' -' 4 UBJECTI EIGHT F ,. Red Dagger Since early times man has had a tendency to express his thoughts and emotions through acting. The drama is the highest expression of the art and one which is universally enjoyed. Those students in Central who were interested in this type of development organized the Red Dagger Club in 1918. The purpose of this club is to give the student an intelligent back- ground of information about drama, to develop in him an intense appreciation of the worth- while in dramatic literature, and to give him actual practice in this type of self expression. The club has been very active this year and has added much to the enjoyment of the entire student body. The two assembly plays Were: Pink and Patches and The Minuet , which were also given at a P. T-. A. meeting. The annual three-act play, Big Hearted Herbert , was presented to the public on December 13 and 14. Out of the Darknessv, an Easter Play, added a significant part to the Good Friday service on April 19. ' OFFICERS .

Instruction in play selection and the construction of the stage also formed a part of the club's work. This year the programs consisted of the following activities: stage production, voice ex- ercises, the art of make-up, the various types of drama, and reviews of Broadway successes. The annual Silver Spear performance consisted of three one-act plays: The Romance of the Willow Patternv, a story of a Chinese tragedy, The Ghost Story , a comedy, and Nevertheless',, a fntasy. The club also gave a comedy entitled Elmer,' in an assembly program in November.

We are fascinated by them and are given a widened sympathy for those who dwell in other lands and whose customs differ from our own. The Library Club was organized in Central by those who enjoyed vicarious journeys through the realm of books. The members not only read and enjoy books, but they learn how to classify and care for them as well. Mrs. Gordon's library helpers come from this organization. The club periods are spent largely in the oral reading of short stories. Sometimes literary programs are given, with dramatizations of scenes from literature. One play, A Century of Ladies and Novels , was presented at a P. T. A. meeting. Although most of the club work is of a serious nature, the group did go on a hike and have a St. Patrick's party.

Instead of using four people for inter-scholastic debates as had been the practice in previous years, nine students participated in the debates. In order to schedule a sufficient number of debates with schools in the dis- trict, non-decision debates were held. The first debate of the year was held at Poplar Bluff before the assembly. Bill Miller and Eva Vogel represented Central on the affirmative. In the second debate, Jane Richardson and John Ellison presented the negative argument. On December 13, Central met the Perryville team there. Central upheld the nega- tive and the debaters were Junior Spradling and Edwin Moseley. Central's negative team composed of Junior Spradling and Edwin Moseley met Fruitland in their school on January 4. 'Perryville came to Central on January 16 for a debate, at which time Central had the affirmative and was represented by Bill Miller and Eva Vogel. On February 1, the entire squad went to Puxico where Narvol Randol and Ruth Dal- ton represented Central on the affirmative. An audience decision was held and the teams tied. Cn February 16, the Puxico team came to Central. Alfred Ebert and Betty Whitelaw represented Central on the negative. The Fruitland team debated Central on February 20, with Ruth Dalton and Narvol Randol supporting the affirmative. U Eight new members were received into the National Forensic League this year. They were: Jane Richardson, John Ellison, Junior Spradling, Narvol Randol, Betty Wliitelaw, Ruth Dalton, Eva Vogel, and Alfred Ebert. Narvol Randol was elected president of the local chapter. In assembly this year, a new style of debate was used -- the Oregon plan. There were three speakers on each team. The affirmative team was composed of Narvol Randol, Edwin Moseley, and Alfred Ebert. The negative side was supported by Bill Miller, Virginia Volkerding, and Junior Spradling. The entire squad was composed of: Robert Buerkle, Alfred Ebert, John Ellison, Ruth Dalton, Anna Lee Lucas, Bill Miller, Edwin Moseley, Narvol Randol, jane Richardson, Anna L. Rigdon, junior Spradling, Virginia Volkerding, Vivian Volkerding, Eva Vogel, and Betty Wliitelaw. Itow 1 - Vivian Volkerding, Junior Spraclling, Eva Vogel, John Ellison, Virginia Volkerding.

Red.Dagger Dramatic Club presented Big Hearted Herbert , by Anna Steele Richardson and Sophia Kerr as its annual three-act production on December 13 and 14. It Was a comedy of unusual value, portraying many realistic situations in the life of an American family. The theme of the play was built around Herbert Kalness's stubbornness in adapting himself to modern ways. After rising from a corn-meal mush factory to success, he was inclined to think that his children should start from the bottom as he had done. Consequently, there were many amusing scenes, showing the various phases of his adjustment.

This year's produc- tions were of an entirely different type. The Romance of the Willow Pattern was a Chinese tragedy. Nevertheless expressed children's curiosity and The Ghost Story was one of the best of Tarkington's comedies. The Romance of the Willow Pattern , which was beautifully interpret- ed and costumed, was of English make but' was patterned on the Chinese tragedy method. The plot of Nevertheless revolved around two children trying to find out what the word nevertheless meant, involving them in much clever dia- logue and an unusual situation with a burglar. The Ghost Storyi' was about a college. boy who was trying to propose to a popular girl but had a difficult time on account of the presence of too many other people.

When the boys took all the home-made sleds and toboggans, the girls were not to be daunted -- even then they had spunky spirits, so they wrapped their ribbons and laces and merry bright faces in heavy Brussels carpet bags and slipped and slid down slippery slopes. Even in those days the male members managed to have moments of daring action and the pests of the school room raided orchards and gardens that surrounded the school. As a special privilege the master would allow boys who had finished their lesson.s to bottle his cider. Also he let them weed his garden and tend his choicest shrubs. In July of 1834 a special holiday was called for the students to view the balloon fight of Dr. Durant as he billowed into the heavens. A worthy use of leisure time - such are our special holidays which call for circus performances when we all go to Dormeyer's and eat ice cream. The desks in the early days were crude rough-surfaced benches and the seats had no backs. Such things as sitting on the back of one's neck was unheard of three hundred years ago. When the weather was stormy no ten cent taxis were at the disposal of the students. Even over- shoes were not available and as a protection from the snow and rain' adult-size woolen socks were worn over the children's shoes. And now the girls fuss because the rain. takes the curl out of their hair. There were no lockers or even special rooms in which to hang the clothes three hundred years ago, so the coats and caps were hung on hooks along the wall. After having been worn to school in a heavy rain, the clothes were wet and as they drained puddles formed on the floor. Pupils had a merry time holding their feet out of the water or in pushing the other fellow into the dampness. The master used to spend study periods or leisure moments cleaning goose quill pens. Miss Smith tells us that she enjoys the process of powdering her nose much more than cleaning pens. The kids in the old days were entertained with steamboat trips similar to our Girardot Excursions. The boat would churn its way down Boston Harbor while the passengers enjoyed cold chicken sandwiches and mince meat pies, mid joyous giggles and other shrieks of adolescent merriment. When the bell failed to ring the big husky fellows who were equal to the task climbed to the belfry and set the bell right. Thus a few extra credits were added to their conduct grades. It was 'good vocational training Cfor flag pole sittersj. If the master got married during the school semester, a holiday was called in honor of his new- found happiness. Mr. Pritchard asked me why a holiday wasn't called when he entered the bonds of matrimony, The first high school rooms held no maps, pictures, blackboards, or window curtains with enticing strings to knot. Instead of such mischief, paper wads were thrown and braided pigtails were dipped in ink wells. y Instead' of feeble fountains at which to drink, the pupils had water pails with wooden dippers. Later sanitation. was observed and each student provided himself with an individual cup texcept when he forgot and left it at homej. One of the main amusements was at the final day of school when the graduating class kicked the buckets and drinking cups around until they were considered un.fit for use by the remain- ing students. The master was a very forbidding creature who sat at his desk which was placed on a platform and surrounded by unfriendly rails. And to think of how we call our faculty members Marge , Mamma Pott , Herbie , and Mary Z. School rooms were not heated by radiators that grew warm only when windows were raised during wintry blasts. The room was heated by a fireplace and a small stove set in. one corner of the room. 77 'I'eacher's pet was allowed to sit nearest the stove and toast himself on one side. School began at 7:30 A. M. The bell commenced to ring at 7:25 and continued for live long minutes. If bells would ring that long and rin.g loud enough, quotes Mrs. Naeter, perhaps the laggards would be provoked into faster steps and thus fewer tardies. Each week held six school days and each day consisted of seven and one-half hours for classes, about two and one-half hours longer than our school day. After such a short school day some students found it necessary to take private lessons to use up their surplus energy. The master had little to do compared with our teachers of today. While he preserved his dignity behind rails, the monitors did the dirty work of checking the papers and other menial labors. Joe Mueller states that the monitor's position is similar to the associate editor's on the Girardot Staff. High Schoo'ls were once blessed with a fifteen minute recess and the necessity of running from one class to another in the short space of a few minutes was not needed. When the recess was over the master waved a red bandana out the window. Each morning the students were formally greeted with a stiff bow from the master and the monitors who were dressed in cut-away coats and vested with a good deal of dignity. The only holidays or vacations the pupils then had were the Christmas Holidays, Thanksgiving Day and the rest of the week, Fourth of July and Fast Day. A day of school was called off for the general election, one day in each year for general training when in Boston, and on specia'l days if voted by the school board. All Wednesday and Saturday afternoons were considered vacations and the week beginning with the first Monday in June and so was the remainder of the week after visitation of schools in August and the two succeeding weeksi All in all, the holidays and vacations amounted to not more than a month of blessed freedom. Perhaps we should sit down and count our numerous blessings, for after all,'our school is quite a luxurious establishment in comparison to the good old days three centuries ago. --114- Calendar SEPTEMBER Again we enter Central's portals: and as the Freshies skin their knees on the steps we wonder why it all began. The two new courses, Public Speaking and Drama, seem to be proving quite popular. Band and Drum and Bugle Corps met for the first time this year. Herbie and Willie show that they have not lost their authority over the vacation. Disappointed . . . the expected ly- ceum program failed to show up. Assembly was held this morning. Central students greeted the 116W semester with brayful song. Things happened in Central today. A new club, Le Societe des Alche- mists originated and also our caf- eteria opened its doors for the first time to hungry Central goers. Miss Mary Alexander just couldn't stay away. She is back in Central's care now as a member of the fac- ulty. A flood light game: First of the season. We went home wet: NVe had good reason. IT RAINED: Red Dagger held its formal initia- tion in assembly. Loiselle Fisher and Mary Elizabeth Macke, attrac- tive as Pierrot and Pierette, bore the scroll that revealed the names of the elated new members. Victorious game with Perryville. We broke the old football jinx when we beat 'em. National Forensic League held its first meeting today. Bill Miller was elected president. Mr. Weis looks like the little boy that stole the jam. Maybe he got into his newly acquired bride's pantry. Commotion in the halls? Football fans are buying tickets for the first out-of-town game. It is also a good way to skip classes. The editor of the Tiger, Anna Lee Lucas, and all her devils were announced in assembly this morn ing. OCTOBER The faculty held its annual picnic today at Ellis Park. One little boy teacher ate Q85 hamburgers. -115- Mr. Pritchard, have you never heard of tummy aches? Our new pep leaders are certainly peppy. How do you like Maxine Niswonger as leader? Your school, my school, most every- body's school, took part in the School Day parade. Quite a variety, even down to color. Our nearest neighbors, the Cobb school kids stepped high and fashionable. Red Dagger held a banquet in hon- or of the fourteen new members. Deane Burk said she had a good time despite the fact that she was given a chicken gizzard to appease her appetite. Girardot Staff ga.ve their presenta- tion in assembly this morning en- titled Freshie. It really should have been A Little Girl Lost, for Sally was hard to find in the big, blue dress. Blue Monday. Six weeks tests are drawing nigh. Study hard and please do11't sigh- till later. Lyceum this morning. A light- ull bit of opera my folks, all very entertaining. Girl and boy repre- sentatives were announced. Coach Iviuegge gave an interesting speech in P. T. A. meeting today. Our Public Speaking teacher, Miss Smith, partly stated, Even coaches have to acquire the art. Why are we looking so glum? Cause six weeks test, Prove such pests And oh! my! Are we dumb? A bit of feathery program, lads and lassies. Mr. PaInabasika's intelli- gent birds rang fire bells. Drum a.nd Bugle lost its bearings right in the midst of the Dexter- Central game. Perhaps our Mr. Herbert Vvright is losing his vicious growl and masterful swagger. Teachers' meeting yesterday and to- day. Our faculty is getting its share of boring lectures Intramural sports began today. Two sweet young things were talk- ed to quite fiercely in the study hall today. Writing notes, I hear, eh, Jenny and Gerdie-bean ? A little girl licked a lolli-pop ill the Washington School presentation in assembly this morning. Calendar Pep meetings are being held each noon in the auditorium. Take your- self thither and add some to the old school spirit. The Girl Reserves seem to fear the goblins and spirits of the hallowed eve. At any rate they celebrated the occasion i11 the cafeteria in broad daylight. NOVEMBER I Red Dagger entertained us with two very good plays in assemblyg A little pink with patches. A special assembly was held for the Juniors and Seniors this morning. They were educated a bit on the subject of fossils and ancient, an- cient history. Beauties of the National Parks in words and pictures were given to us by Mr. A. R. Kirkpatrick this morn- ing. Quill and Scroll held its first meet- ing this year and elected its of- ficers. Several members of the faculty have left for the Teachers' Con- vention. Also Miss Rieck has se- lected Elizabeth Bahn, Frances Lu- cas, Mary Helen Summers, Iva-n Niedling, Bernard Samuels, and Melvin Leo VVagner to be represen- tatives for the All-State Orchestra. Reverend Daugherty delivered an interesting speech on education for the benefit of all students. His dis- play of humor throws a light on his son Jack's wit. Our football squad won another victory. This time over Caruthers- ville. Rain! Rain! Rain! . After the debate squad presented its amusing and entertaining debate this morning, Central students an- nounce that our squad is worthy of all its honors. Junior Spradling has the makings of a typical poli- tician .... We play Duquoin to- night out of town. Red Dagger and the chorus class entertained the P. T. A. members at their meeting of the association. The Latin class held a Roman ban- quet and served roast pig as one of the meats. Summing it all up it was a jolly Roman affair. Our football game with Anna was called off. It seems as though the -1l6- college boys can't bear the thought of playing on the field after we messed it up. Silver Spear entertained us with a comedy play this morning. This afternoon school is called off so that we may attend the Col1ege-Kirks- ville tussle. My! Weren't the Girardot mem- bers firmly and not gently warned to get down to business. The annual color day was closed this afternoon with the coronation of the football queen. Little Jim- mie Victory, Central's mascot, bore Mary Louise's crown on a gold pillow. Thanksgiving before. Oh! Thanksgiving after, Oh! Oh! Oh! DECEMBER Dr. Dearing entertained Central again this year with one of his spir- ited talks. This one dealt with Man's Battle with the Beast. The old beast. lateness, crept up on you, Dr. Dearing. You were about thirty minutes late, you know. Robert Wood cartooned Albert Rueseler, Jr., and Leo Webb for us this morning. The picture turned out to be a rider and a mule. Which was which? I suppose we all have our own opinions. National Honor Society's new mem- bers were announced in assembly. This exclusive society will hold its semi-annual banquet tonight. The debate squad is really active this year. An argument occurred with Poplar Bluff this afternoon. Skill and Croll-oh, tl1e Squill and Coll'-I mean the Quill and Scroll, initiated its pledges during the ban- quet in the cafeteria after school hours. Red Dagger's annual three-act play, Big Hearted Herbert, gave its first performance tonight. Ditto with the addition, If you missed Norval Randol as 'Big Heart- ed Herbert' and Betty Whitelaw as 'Elizabeth' you missed an evening of grand entertainment. After the Parent Teachers' presen- tation of If I Were a Parent, Miss Reed stated, I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. What we want to know is, did Miss Reed stay home? Try outs for cheer leaders were held this afternoon.

Why were so many students late this A.. M.'? A .... Last night was New Year's Eve. Draw your own conclusions. 2. Were some people indignant? Mrs. Naeter refused to grant unqualified excuses for yesterday's absentees. I presume she is not as innocent of the ways of the world as we sup- pose. After this, New Years won't be celebrated quite so elaborately. 4. 7. 8. 11. 14. 15. We were wafted away to a world of delight on the fluttering wings of music.

There is quite an up-and-coming young man on that team, popularly known as Dunk. Final exams tomorrow. From what I hear and how I feel these finals haven't proved quite so popular.

Some lit- tle girl told some big boy that she didn't know whether he had danced with her or against her. First day of the semester started off with sunshine and . . . a lot of unconcern. The week has been rather unevent- ful. Miss Rieck's chorus class gave us a lovely morning of songs which improved our general outlook on school life. Friday, Puducy beat us and Sat- urday, Fruitland sorta' licked her chops over the juicy victory. Where are Central's traditional he-men ? Last six weeks' grade cards came fluttering in today. Well, it doesn't matter, now, you are or you ain't. Special assembly this morning. Two men, a Xylophone, a piano, and a portable piano.

The new members proudly boast of their first National Honor Society banquet. And now we believe that those dreary April showers bring forth May flowers after viewing favor- ite teachers posey-bedecked desks.
