W Z W ff' ' 1 During the last tew years, we, as American people, have awakened to the great value and beauty of our national parks. We have begun to realize their educational possibilities and to regard them as a valuable national asset. Through the interest of a group of altruistic men they were saved from private ownership and secured for the tree use and enjoyment of all. To us Mother Nature has become the teacher of teacherse--these parks the greatest ot schools and playgrounds. The appreciation and enjoy- rnent of these will keep our nation young, for national parks are veritable fountains of life. Within their magic realms may be found beau- ties which inspire, wonders that broaden the vision, and miracles which fire the imagination. In this Girardot we have endeavored to better acquaint you with this expanding phase of our national development and to commend our var- ious parks to you tor your enjoyment.

We are in- spired by the power and beauty of the mellow lighted forest aisles beneath the airy arches of boughs and leaves with their tonqueless eloquence. As the early pioneers felt a sense of challenge and freedom in these silent spaces, so do we feel free and secure along the many trails of Central Hiqh. of ,ff -flfffwvf-m1 SEMA ox 13 , V afw ' 4 , 'YW W W WWW Z-0.55 , GAL Q ,, ,Ax , ' M QJL Tu 21 bn MM- Q- Jw-Ja w4dfw'+9f!Mvv 'U W 'ww aww- uxytbu..-Z1 y -Lfovmpxfa., 5 ' A1 ln I B, lg' ,x, M 'A . f V739 tk as 7 'i 1 L J ' W N cr briqnt and sunny day, with the slors and stripes floating gently over her in the calm breeze, Central stands stately in the worm sunshine.

Realizing this, the park commissioners have employed guides or rangers to direct tourists along the difficult trails and to designate the things of beauty and interest. So it is with our school. 'I'he paths here are often crowded with obstacles which, without the help of our faculty guides , would he impenetrable. .nj .' ,j,j42'Q,':', .1 Qi., , . ' V 4. J A ,, . , Y 'n NL 1 ' ' X ,L g .,,- .

To Central Students: lf we will just but look about us we can find in nature those guiding factors and laws which make for success, hap- piness, understanding and contentment in our everyday life. On every hand we find nature trying to tell us and show us the advantages of truthfulness, cleanliness, fair play, and other qualities which make for strong character. On the other hand we have evidences of the penalties which are ex- acted when these fundamental laws and rules of nature are disregarded. May you as students, and later as adults, learn to appreciate the wonders and beauty of nature to the fullest and endeavor to look beneath the surface to discover and hear the teachings and catch the inspirations that are so graciously and abundantly provided for us. L. I. Schultz Mr. Schultz was elected superintendent of our local school system in the spring of 1935. Before this time he served as the principal of Central High School from 1928 to 1935, having formerly taught for three and one-half years in the Manual Arts department. He was made principal upon the resignation of Mr. R. L. David- son, lr. Mr. Schultz's previous teaching ex- perience was gained at Morning Sun, Iowa: Flat River, Missouri: and Pontiac, Illinois. In preparation for his career as a teach- er, he studied at Southeast Missouri State Teachers College where he received his degree of Bachelor of Science in Educa- tion. His graduate work was done at the University of Iowa, where he was grant- ed a Master of Arts degree and several additional honors in the Department of Education for outstanding Work. MR. IENKINS Principal To the Students: Industrial, commercial and profes- sional leaders expect you to prepare yourselves so that, later on, you may take their places in the great field of occupation. Our world, today has great need of men and women of strong individuality: of faith, hope, and public spirit: of courage, perse- verance, and integrity: of balance, power, and a stern sense of devo- tion to God, to home, and to coun- try. Our people have need oftlead- ers whose courage makes them un- afraid to ,declare publicly their un- changed loyalty to these ideals. Accept this challenge of life. fus- tify the trust of the older generation. Be worthy of the sacrifices made for you. Get ready to assume your ob- ligations and to put your ideas, born of originality, to work. lt matters not whether you follow a trade or a profession, the market or the street: whether you labor on land or on sea: whether you ac- complish with your hands or your mind, as long as you give your best to the occupation of your choice and thus fulfill your purpose in life. PRINCIPAL Mr. Paul Ienkins became our prin- cipal in September, 1935, having taught social science in Central since 1930. He received his degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, and his Master of Arts de- gree at the University of Missouri. By his quiet, understanding manner and friendly helpfulness, he has skillfully guided our students and endeared himself 'to all at Central. Our School Administration SUMMARY OF CENTRAIJS PROGRAM I.

MRS. NAETER Assistant Principal To Central Students: As Henry David Thoreau once said. If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and en- deavors to live the life that he has imagined, he will meet with a suc- cess unexpected in common hours. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. You young people of today are now building your foundations. Within your dreams and ambitions, you hold the future progress of civ- ilization. Therefore, build beauty, strength, and truth into your lives as your foundations, for Within you lie the possibilities for future progress and the power for the establishment of international good will which will bring universal peace to the world and usher in the brotherhood of man. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Mrs. Lucile Settle-Naeter is the as- sistant principal and has been with us since 1925. She serves as girls' adviser and keps the attendance records in the office as well as serv- ing as a class-room teacher in the history department. EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES In addition to the regular curricu- lum of Central, we have many extra curricular activities with which stu- dents may supplement their regular program. These activities are held during the first hour periods on Mon- day and Wednesday or after school hours. These activities also serve to promote a closer relationship and understanding between students and teachers, offer outlets for unsus- pected talent, and encourage and re- ward faithfui scholarship and effort.

The Art Club endeavors to teach a genuine appreciation of beauty in all its forms and to provide for an active participation in those activities which develop art skill. The meetings are devoted to two general subjects wr ill The profitable and enjoyable use of leisure time and C23 the appreciation of things about us such as the buildings in Cape Girardeau, the great out-of-doors, and famous paintings. One of the group activities was the loan exhibit which the art club assisted in sponsoring, the proceeds being used in purchasing a picture for the art room. As leisure time activities, all types of handicraft were illustrated and explained. - Two social affairs were held during the year. The October entertainment was an outdoor picnic, and the second semester activity was a St. Patriok's party in the Art Room.

Because of this interest, the boys of Central have organized a cooking club in which they prepare very simple vegetable dishes, sandwiches, custards, and candies. The members have planned average breakfasts and lunches, and have made an effort to include in their meals the foods which have the highest vitamin and calorie content. Besides acquiring some knowledge of the culinary art, the boys have attained a greater appreciation of the home through their active participation in household tasks and through their association with the other members of the club.

Membership is open to all persons who have had a study of general science previously. The engineers spend their club periods studying and discussing cur- rent topics in electricity, making a special study of the radio and some of the familiar electrical appliances. They take at least one field trip each year to some place ot interest, this year's visit being to the Fox Broadway Theatre Where they studied the sound and lighting equipment.

Each member was responsible for at least one program this year, and he either presented his own collection and explained its points of interest, or reported on some unique collection from some museum. Such collections as stamps, old coins, scrap books, road maps, match covers, and model air- planes have been displayed and left in the biology room for observation. Probably the most interesting feature of the club's outside activities this year was a trip to the Teachers College for the purpose of seeing Mr. Duck- Worth's collection of fossils.

T The purpose of La Societe' des Alchemists is to study and experiment with practical applications of chemistry as employed in the home and industry. During this year the chemists have made many interesting as Well as useful products. Some of them were soap, gunpowder, cold cream, shaving lotions, matches, ink, fire extinguishers, and chemical flower gardens. A few of the boys released a Stratosphere balloon and had the gratification of having it recovered in Kentucky and returned to them. Some of the club periods were spent in analyzing poisons, developing photographs, and testing the compo- sition of foods.

Within are found boiling qeysers, bubbling springs, turbulent waterfalls, and unrestrained wild life - all are expressions of the mighty force of nature. So it is in Central, for our many activities allow students to express themselves in numerous ways and to dis- cover new values within themselves and in the world about them. The Student Council serves as a governing power of Central, helps to solve some of the daily problems confronting the faculty and the student body, and establishes a greater spirit of cooperation. The Council is divided into separate committees under the supervision of a chairman elected by the members of the group. Each committee functions to promote the general welfare of all. The Lost and Found returns all ltost articles, the Girls' and Boys' Athletic committee helps to plan the athletic programs, and one group keeps the bulletin boards attractively arranged. Still another committee has charge of the Co-op which is open at noon. Membership is composed of the most representative students who are elected by each home room advisery.

They also have the opportunity of furnishing entertainment as well as knowledge of school affairs to the student body. The membership of the staff is chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior students who show ability and origi- nality in the tryouts. During the year, seventeen issues of the Tiger were published, provid- ing a paper every two weeks with special editions at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and for the graduating seniors.

The purposes of the association are C13 to understand more fully the plans and aims of education and how to realize them: C23 to promote child welfare: C33 to know the school, its needs, its plans, and its programs of pro- cedure, and to be a real factor in helping it to meet these endsy C43 to link the school and the parents together and to provide for better understanding of school affairs among the parents: C53 to support the teachers: C63 and to supple- ment the efforts of the school board. The theme for the past year Was Education and its Worth . Many in- teresting discussions and programs were carried out on this subject. Some of them were on C13 Courses and Extra Curricular Activities offered at Central: C23 The Present Status and Future Outlook of our Schoolsg C33 After High School What? C43 Present School Laws and Educational Trends in Generalp C53 and Collecting as a Hobby. In order to give more fathers an opportunity to attend P. T. A. meetings, several night sessions were held this year. Probably the most interesting one was Back to School Night , at which time the parents followed the daily rou- tine of their children and gathered much information as to how our school day is conductedl Another special observance was a joint celebration of Found- ers Day With the other units of the city. In December the P. T. A. entertained the Central faculty at a Christmas dinner party with eighty-six present. Another Worthwhile activity of the group was the provision of a bicycle rack here at Central. There are six committees which help to carry on the work of the P. T. A. more effectively. The committees and their chairmen are: Program: Mrs. E. M. Bartlett, Publicity, Mrs. H. V. Ashleyp Publications and Periodicals, Mrs. Rush Limbaughg Hospitality, Mrs. T. G.

He first came to Central in 1928 as instructor of hygiene and coach of athletics. During the three years that followed, he trained three suc- cessful football teams. The team of 1929 won all of their games and held their op- ponents scoreless. After going to Steel- ton, Pennsylvania, in 1930, where he re- mained for another three year period, he returned to Central in the summer of 1934. Last year he had a very successful team, as they won 8 out of the 9 scheduled games, but this season showed the most successful team since the 1929 eleven. They not only defeatedllackson, Pa- ducah, Sikeston, Soldan and others, but now have a string of 16 consecutive victories, having won all of their scheduled games this year and the last 6 last season. Besides producing winning teams, Coach has created a high type of sportsmanship and a sense of fair play among the boys. COACH MUEGGE Q The Champion Tiger eleven this year was made up of such football stars as these: Carl Totem Mayer, Quarterback: Iohn Alfalfa Crabtree, Half- backg Walter Nig Leher, Halfbackg Raymond Cook, Fullbacky Elbert Ears Birk, Left End: Bill Lulu Belle Hensley, Tackley Bill Leming, Guard, Ed Ar- noldi, Center, Robert Hunze, Guard: Gene Cantrell, Tackle, Bill lkey Kies, Right End. Carl Mayer scored the most touchdowns, his record being 17 in all. Crabtree was second with 16. The Tigers' largest score was rolled up against Farmington with 60 to U. The teams to score against Central were: Sikeston 7, Perryville 6, Poplar Bluff 6, and Iackson 7. Central scored 374 points to their opponents' 26. The most exciting point of the season was at the beginning of the sec- ond half of the game with the Iackson Indians. At the time, Central was trailing 7 to 6. Carl Mayer took the kick-off on his own 12 yard line and be- tween skillful blocking wound his way through the entire Iackson eleven to score what proved to be the winning touchdown. This play upset lackson and they did not score again during the game. The final score read 18 to 7 in favor of the Central Tigers. All through the season Central's agile backfield, led by Carl Mayer, piled up large scores in nearly every game the Tigers played. The players who made the All-Star Team were as follows: First team - Bill Hensley, Edward Arnoldi, Bill Kies, Carl Mayer, Walter Leher, and Iohn Crabtreeg Second team -- Elbert Birk and Robert I-lunze. 63 '97 1 P7 , . w4,f3paA4. .f fo 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 J lOHN COCHRAN -A Fullback Iohn's good work as third string full- back aided Central's winning team to a great extent.

He had the old fighting spirit that most Central men have. Beinq a freshman, he will have three more years of football at Central. VINSON RUESELER P- End Vinson's offense and defense work won him a letter this year. He will be a real cog in Central's team next season. ELBERT BIRK - End Throughout the season Elbert proved his ability at pass receiving. He played center position in the earlier games, but was later shifted to end. BILL KIES - End Mikey was one of the men who was always there to catch Mayer's swift, accurate passes. His outstanding work earned him a berth on the All- Star team. Football fa kc t wx lx X : x .

During the 1936 football season Central had one of the greatest teams in the history of the school. They went through the season winning all of their ten scheduled games and stretch- ing their string of victories to sixteen, as they won their last six games last year. In our first game of the victorious year, we trampled over the Marion, Illinois team by the score of 33-0 under the bright lights of Houck Stadium. Featuring end runs and an aerial at- tack led by Carl Mayer, Iohn Crabtree, and Walter Leher, together with a stubborn defense, Central completely outplayed their opponents. Avenging a defeat of last year, Central won from the Sikeston Bulldogs at Sikeston, by 20-7. Central scored three touchdowns, all being made possible by Carl Mayer's accurate passes. Playing the entire game in rain, Central won their first conference game by defeating the Perryville Pirates 39-6. In their fourth game the Tigers swamped the Poplar Bluff Mules 54-6 on their gridiron. Displaying a world of power and working with sweeping end runs and off tackle plays, Central simply routed the Mules. This was a conference game. Central crushed the Farmington Knights at Farmington 60-0. The field was a mass of mud, but Central scored nine touchdowns. This game marked the third straight conference victory. The Bengals won their next game from Paducah, who is always a good threat, by the score of 25-0. The game was played before an estimated crowd of 2200, including 300 Paducah fans. The Tigers had little trouble defeating the Cairo, Illinois football team 38-0 in Houck Stadium. In their next game, Central not only broke down Iackson's string of I7 straight victories but assured themselves of the championship of the Southeast Missouri High School Conference. The Bengals won the exciting game 18-7. In their ninth game Central won an easy victory over the Pinckneyville, Illinois High eleven with a score of 54-0. To cap their triumphant season Central won from Soldan High School of St. Louis by the score of 33-0 on Thanksgiving Day. The game was played on the coldest day of the season and amid flurries of snow, but gave a fitting climax to the 1936 season.

The membership of the Girls' Sports Club is divided into two teams, which compete dur- ing the club periods in the games that are in season. At the end of each semester the losing team entertains the winning one with a party. The girls very successfully sponsored the annual Play Day again this year as has been the custom. They also initiated a new idea of awarding a cup to the girl who is the most valuable member of the club. The Boys' Sports Club, besides sponsoring the boxing, ping pong, and baseball tourna- ments, has organized a swimming class, prepared programs for the Thanksgiving and Paducah football games, and built ping pong tables for use in the tournaments, GIRLS' SPORTS CLUB OFFICERS President 4 Marie Suedekum, Vice-Presidents - W Carmen Botter, Winifred Oxford: Secretaries - Eula Lewis, Carmen Botter, Treasurer - Mildred Heath: Reporter f Alberta Hanf, Sponsor - Miss Alexander.

Any Central boy, whether he could swim or not, was eligible to be with the club on Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 o'clock at the State Teachers College swimming pool. The purpose of the organization was to give the boys exercise and amusement. The thirty-one members of the club are lack Wilson, Bob Blattner, Brian Moyers, Gus Barran- co, Billy Latimer, Merit Leming, Bennie Zoellner, lohn Leming, Charles Reissaus, Ioe Higgins, Charles McKinnis, Gene Points, I. H. Mosley, Alfred Thiele, lohn Luchow, R. A.

Howard, Gene Wil- son, Bob Taylor. Swimming classes were held all during the school year for the girls at Central. Approximately fifty girls were enrolled in the classes which were held at the State Teachers College swimming pool on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Swimming is apparently the favorite pastime of a number of Central girls, for so much interest was shown in this sport that it was necessary to limit the classes to fifty members. The girls were divided into three groups or divisions according to their swimming ability. The members in the different divisions are as follows: Division I - Lila Alcorn, Gladys Adams, Charlotte Beckman, Gayrette Brooks, Virginia Busch, Marilyn Eachus, Ruth Eachus, Mary Elizabeth Golightly, Constance Hartley, Velda Jenkins, Char- leen Iordan, Charlotte Kelpe, Mary Dixie Pinnell, Madeline Smith. Division II - Betty Bauer, Margaret Bender, Virginia Buckner, Katy Dunz, Dorothea Hunze, Maxine Kammer, Virginia Latham, Della Hope Ienkins, Emily Looney, Martha McGinty, Alberta Nichols, Virginia Lee Pendleton, Dean Pipkin, Ruth Polack, Sammy lean Rudolph, Mary Lee Seabaugh, Edna Stein, Opal Underwood. Division III - Helen Alcorn, Harris Ashley, Cecelia Hecht, Helen Harrelson, Pauline Hartle, Pansy Hill, Ierris Larimore, Susan Moran, Lillian Morrow, Helen Moyers, Mary Naeter, Billie Oliver, Iuanita Stewart, Carlan Stone, Mary lane Thompson, Barbara Unger, Evelyn Wainpler, Margie Williams. 77 C Boys' and Girls' Minor Sports PING PONG The boys' ping pong tournament created a lot of interest, this being evi- denced by the ninety-six boys who entered. A week was spent in practice before the actual games began. Most of the groups played after school, while others followed a morning or noon schedule. limmie Thompson won the tournament by defeating David Oliver in the finals and Weldon Geldmacher finished third. Fifty girls participated in their division. After several rounds of play, all but three girls were eliminated. In the finals Dorothy Kiehne emerged as winner, with Helen Hilpert second and Cecelia Hecht third. TENNIS Tennis proved to be very popular this spring as twelve boys were on the squad, with Mr. Talbert as the sponsor. From this group six boys were chosen to play on the Tiger team. They were lames Newson, Iimmie Thomp- son, Weldon Geldmacher, Charles Reissaus, Tom Moore, and Kenneth Colmar. In the May Meet singles Central was represented by limmie Thompson, who with Charles Raissaus played also in the doubles. Other students who were out for tennis were: Edward Brinkman, Alfred Thiele, Leonard Vogel, Torn Fitzpatrick, and Billy Comer. Several meets were scheduled with out-of-town teams late in the season. I-IORSESHOES A horseshoe tournament was held with thirty boys participating. Two brackets were formed and the winner of each of these played for the champion- ship. Those taking part were: Gus Barranco, Howard Bock, Floyd Brown, Harold Cobb, Iohn Cochran, Loren Crites, lohn Eggimann, Fred F oeste, Gale Froems- dorf, Weldon Geldmacher, Lorenz Goercke, Bill Hagen, Wayne Helton, Iunior Hett, Richard Iohnson, Harold Koeppel, Iohn Leming, Charles Norman, Malcolm Reddick, Albert Sander, Charles Schrader, Iohnny Schrader, Bob Schultz, Bill Seabaugh, Elwood Slover, lim Stevenson, Glaneer Tenkhoff, Vernon Tinker, Iunior Townsend, Bob Wilhite. Washers, dart games, and softball were played every noon at Central to provide entertainment and exercise for those who stayed during the lunch hour. 78C Girls' Athletics I As director of girls' athletics and in- structor of the girls' hygiene classes for the past year, Miss Alexander's work has been entirely successful. Not only has she stimulated an interest in intramural sports but has created a real desire for physical fitness in the girls at Central. She came to us in the fall of l934 from the Southeast Missouri State Teachers Col- lege after having served two summers there as assistant director of athletics. Her graduate work was done at Columbia Uni- versity in New York. DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES Sports such as volleyball, basketball, and baseball were played this year. Work was also done in tumbling, individual activities, and rhythmic work. Swimming classes were held twice a week at the State Teachers Col- lege swimming pool. Emblems were awarded those who had done exception- ally good work in all of the intramural sports. This year the third annual play day was held on Saturday, May 1, by the Girls' Sports Club. Approximately llO girls from Central participated in the events. The theme was carried out along the line of an lndian Pow-wow and the girls were divided into eight Indian tribes. The event was managed by seven committees headed by Marie Suedekum as general chairman. The program consisted of games, relays, individual contests, and concluded with recreational swimming as the last event. Swimming was one of the most successful phases of the girls' athletic program. The participants were divided into three divisions. The requirement and achievement test for the different divisions were as listed below: Beginning - CU Swim the length of the pool C20 yardsl with side stroke, back stroke, and a combination of crawl and one other stroke: C25 Do two stunts: C33 Do the crawl kick for three minutes: C43 Do the side and back strokes for form: C51 lump off diving board and swim out.

As there is melody to suit the mood of every traveler, so do we at Central have music to gladden us along the way and to qive us a sense of harmony of God's purpose for us. .M -. -' H.. mv sf Q ,- ,I -pk, 3 ' +4i'Q , , m., . 4 1 . . , , w 1. wmd. 4 ,.,A S... o ' f ' 4 1 X f , .'

Many students of Central have found a worthy and enjoyable use of their leisure time by becoming a member of some musical organization. The work offered to them in this department is under the direction of Miss Frieda Rieck and Mr. W. A. Shivelbine. For those who enjoy music there are numerous organizations through which they may work. There are six different chorus classes under Miss Rieck's supervision - the Girls' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, Boys' Glee Club, Advanced Chorus, an A Cappella Chorus, and a special organization for the freshmen. Band and Orchestra offer expression to those who play instru- ments. Another musical organization that is very active in school and com- munity life is the Drum and Bugle Corps which is assisted by Miss Rieck and Mr. Wright. All organizations in the department have their own special uniforms. They are quite attractive and carry out the black and orange school colors in combination with white. For each year that a student is a member of one lof the glee clubs, he is awarded an orange chevron which is worn on the left sleeve of his sweater. One of the outstanding groups of the department is the A Cappella Chorus. It was begun in 1935 by Miss Rieck and is the first chorus of this type to be organized south of St. Louis. To be a member is the highest musical honor obtainable in Central. This organization is gaining rapidly in popularity throughout Southeast Missouri because of their perfect singing, accuracy, and fine vocal effect. Central's Band has shown considerable growth both in the number participating and in artistic finish. Under Mr. Shivelbine's direction it has grown to a unit of one hundred members with a uniformed marching group of sixty. It lends spirit to many school activities and participates in numerous civic projects. For the student who is willing to give of his time and talents, music has many compensations to offer. As a result of his effort and participation, he is richly rewarded by the acquisition of poise, self confidence, a deeper apprecia- tion of music, and an enrichment of his knowledge of musical literature. Since music is the language of all emotions, any or all of them may be expressed through this medium. Acquaintance with the literature of music brings a cul- tural development through a wider knowledge of poetry and art. Participation in music with either voice or instrument gives a very enjoyable form of self expression and a deep and abiding appreciation of all things beautiful. 83 Orchestra Row l - Cecelia Hecht, Louis Bahn, Velma Willer, lohn Henry Wiseman, Elsie Trovillion, Manley Limbaugh, Helen Ballard, Mary Naeter, Mary Helen Steimle, Helen Harrelson, Virginia Templeton, Doris Ienkins, Charles Mills, Kenneth Verhines, Bob Wilhite, Edwin Hopkins.

In the annual district contest held at the State Teachers College, it received a rating ofa number I. The purpose of the orchestra is to so train the pupils that they may have experience and pleasure in the best kind ot music and to develop a sense of co-operation among its members.

The actual membership of the group is one hundred students. Boccalari's Dance of the Serpents , Peter De Rose's Deep Purple , and Herbert's Gypsy Love Song are a few of the selections the band has presented before the public. The band strives to train each member to play his particular instru- ment in an intelligent manner, so as to further his own enjoyment and to en- able him to participate in school and civic activities.

The A Cappella Chorus has done much to further the appreciation of music in Central and has maintained as their standard only the best cf music. Not only has this organization functioned in Central's school life, but it has sung on community occasions and has given a guest program for other schools in this district. A Christmas concert was presented at Advance on December 18 for the students of the high school and the townspeople. The chorus appeared before the mass meeting of the District Teachers' Association on October 26, l936. In December they presented a cantata at the First Baptist Church, and were also in charge of the Christmas and Easter assemblies held in the school auditorium. A few of the selections sung by the A Cappella Chorus are The Nightingale by Tschaikowsky, Boberton's All in the April Evening , The Peasant and His Oxen by Aschenbrenner, Nobel Cain's Say Thou Lovest Me , and a Kentucky mountain song entitled Madam, I Have Come A'Court- ing .

Against this background men have made their entries and their exits and have played many parts. Some have struggled and failed: others have triumphed over their obstacles and have attained regeneration and fulfillment. To all was given the opportunity of choosing their roles, and the rewards were given to those who chose wisely and played their parts with courage, .1 -:.,,N if fx ' 7 sg T' 4-Jr ,, 'N.4, f s f We xx x -4 I. .7 up-., ali? x 5-,:-39 .

The educational value of dramatics lies in the complete enlistment of all the faculties in the enjoyment of aesthetic effort, the evaluation of concrete ideals, and the rehearsing of later life activities. Certainly these and many other values find practical development in dramatic class work, where im- provement in speech, bodily response, spiritual understanding, and social ad- justment are apparent. We have in our curriculum a class in drama which is open to juniors and seniors. Exercises in bodily movements, along with individual and group pantomimes and voice drills for project and placement, have been included in this special class. The subject matter selected for the dramatic work affords a background of intelligent appreciation of the drama, technical training in inter- pretation, and experience in the presentation of plays. Because the movie is the most accessible and most popular form of drama, the class pays special attention to the development of a discriminating taste, with special emphasis on basic theme, social value, story element, pictorial composition, and direction. Analysis of plays and current movies and pupil participation in public performances are extra curricular, and are taken care of by the Red Dagger and Silver Spear dramatic clubs and the Marionette Club. The Red Dagger Dramatic Club, whose membership is limited to those who are juniors and seniors, is under the sponsorship of Miss Eloise McLain. The organization offers to lead one out of his limited bounds into the realm of new ideas and give him a broader sympathy and understanding of the many different types of people and phases of life. The Silver Spear Dramatic Club, directed by Miss Martha Welman, helps each member with his breathing, tone quality, voice inflection and serves to prepare him for future performances. The membership is open to freshmen and sophomores who are interested in dramatics. Both clubs require a memorized play, poem, or reading from the student trying out, and the members are selected from the most successful of these. Each year the clubs present a public performance and an assembly program. Not only does the cast have an important part, but the technical crews are equally necessary, for they prepare the programs, manipulate lights, arrange the stage, and plan the costuming. Another organization in our school which helps to promote dramatic interest is the Marionette Club.. The purpose of this club is to give those stu- dents interested in this type of dramatics a chance to learn more about the art. The members construct their own marionettes and stage properties. Their performances are presented at grade schools and for club programs in Central. One desirable result of dramatic study and participation is that young people begin to regard taking part in a play less as putting on a show and more as a creative undertaking involving artistic possibilities. This field of work offers opportunities to those who seek self expression not only in the realm of pure acting, but opens a great vista of interests in art, history, literature, and all phases of life as it exists about them. People of all types in all conditions of life are the subject matter of drama. Through this avenue new interests may be awakened and a broadened understanding and sympathy will surely come to those who project themselves into the realm of other personalities in differing conditions of life. 91 -ff' H 'w' f- Red Dagger Dramatic Club Row l - Webster Pell, Mary Rose Miller, Celeste Perl-zinson, Martha Grabert, Mary Lou Blue, Mary Barber, Kenneth Colmar, Iimmie Thompson.

The Red Dagger Dramatic Club provided an excellent opportunity for the juniors and seniors to develop their ability to act and to gain a deeper ap- preciation of dramatic literature.

Many of the plays, which they produce with the help ot Miss Welman, are also original. Each member of the club is on one working committee according to her individual interest in either play writing, costume designing, puppet making, or stage and property construction. During the club periods this year the members studied the operation ot marionettes and puppets, and presented plays to other clubs, home rooms, and to the grade schools. The club productions for the year were lack and the Bean Stalk , The Knave ot Hearts , and A Christmas Story .

V 94 Senior Play The Youngest by Philip Barry was the play chosen and presented by the senior class on the evening of March 2, under the direction of Miss Eloise McLain. The play concerned a typical young American, Richard Winslow, flohn Robertsl, whose life was entangled by tragedy, love, and comedy. Nancy Blake CPatty Fisherl tried to help Richard overcome some of his difficulties, and in doing so fell in love with him. Portraying family quarrels and trials, the play illustrated the fact that the youngest member of the family is sometimes entirely capable of taking care of himself. , THE CAST Mrs. Winslow - Marie Suedekum, Martha Winslow - Celeste Perkinson, Mark Winslow - Bill Leming, Ir., Alan Martin - Lloyd Hill, Ir., Augusta Martin - Cathryn Clack, Richard Winslow ma Iohn Roberts, Nancy Blake - Patty Fisher, Oliver Winslow - A.

Under the direction of Miss Eloise McLain it Was presented on November 18 and 19. The theme of the play centered around the way in which a financial crisis was met by different members of a family. Situations of varying character and complications provided opportunities tor a nice balance ot humor and pathos. The comedy of the play was of the type that is enacted daily in actual life situations in the average American home. ln keeping with the general tone oi the production, the settings, costuming, and programs were done in an attrac- tive modern manner.

The production was under the direction ot Miss Martha Welman, and employed a majority of the club members in either the cast or on the technical staff. The play involved many realistic situations in the lite of an adventurous young girl, Rebecca, Whose lite was tempestuous enough as she sought to ad- just herselt to the will ot her Aunt Miranda, a vigorous, acid-tongued old maid of stern New England stock. lt was interesting to watch the spontaneous Rebecca break down the cold Wall ot her Aunt's prejudices. With its humorous and life-like situations, the play gave the audience a varied emotional response and provided valuable training tor those participating.

Her golden hair and voice, her pleading eyes, and merry smile have captivated the hearts of many. A single lift of Tete Shelby's eyelids encourages those who seek her favor. Iohn Roberts is the Hero. As the toast of all the girls and the apple of Central's eye, he graciously bows left and right in acknowledgment. He is master of every situation and surveys the whole world as his own. His leading lady is ever a different one, for many are the dainty ones who would be his favorite. The gracious hostess, the adored sweetheart, the superb and lovely lady on all occasions is Milady, Patty Lou Fisher. Smart and sophisticated, free and friendly, she has won the hearts of all. Who but Mr. Medcalf is the Irate Father? He is spending his time trying to console him- self since the boy turned out to be Cynthia lane. Poor father, be reconciled, for Cynthia has already shown musical talent in that she gives several high pitched vocal solos each day, and often at night. Perhaps she'll make you a fortune some day. Sympathetic and understanding is the Consoling Mother, Mrs. Findley. Ever ready to weigh and consider, to forgive and help is she who is the confidant of many. Her friendly man- ner and kind spirit cause her to find the best in everyone. See him as he bustles gayly about, amusing us all with his mischievous antics. His object is to make us laugh, and laugh we do, for his merry expressions of fun are never ending. What! You do not know Central's Clown and merrymaker, our white-headed base drummer, Cotton Iones? Gerald Thomas is the Family Pest. The little darling is ever up to something and always tells on big brother and sister at the wrong time. He pesters everyone to answer his questions. Having aroused one's anger, he is quick and wise enough to scamper away Without harm. CENTRAL STAGE TERMS Entries - Freshmen Exits - Seniors Comedy - M, G.

Q Student: No, I was only looking to see if he had mine right. Epilogue - Report cards Curtain - Commencement exercises LIGHTING DIRECTIONS FOR CENTRAL'S FOUR ACT PLAY Act I - Freshman Understudy The entire stage should be flooded with a bright green light to harmonize with the actors. In fact any shade of green will do. Act II -- Sophomore Awakening At this time the stage should be a-glow with a soft yellow, for the light of knowl- edge has begun to dawn upon these eager actors. Act III - Iunior Interim Pink or purple should be used for these who are so satisfied with themselves. Act IV - Senior Departure Blue is the only possible color for the stage at this point, for it is a fitting symbol of the sadness that comes when these actors con- template their departure from so pleasant a place as Central. 98 W WW ff ff!

SEPTEMBER From all the forests came the different students back to school. Most of the teachers went to large universities this last summerg therefore, the students seem to think they should learn a lot more. Miss Jane Brewer, a new teacher, is already a friend of many. All the bear cubs, squirrels and the rest of the forest pals are going to the circus this afternoon. What can the first assembly be this year? Hope it's good, so we can start the year off right. Drum and Bugle Corps tryouts this afternoon. My, how self-conscious the girls are! The Tiger staff announces its new editor, Pauline Sledge. To Mr. Magill the Central students send best wishes and hopes for his speedy recovery. Appendicitis is the foe and woe of many. Marjorie Caldwell, a popular stu- dent in Central, passed away early this morning. The student body will miss her greatly. Slip, slip, went some of the freshies this morning as they came out of the rain and were whirled around just inside the door. Don't take it too hard, it won't last long. Stay on, roof, even if the students do yell together in assembly for the first time -this semester. The first football game with the score 33-0 in our favor. It certain- ly looks as if we're going to have a good season. Red Dagger banquet and such fun! The new members really caught it. Another school day has gone by with no excitement. The college invited us to be their guests at the theater this morning to see the picture, Adventures of Man. OCTOBER The first day of October has al- ready arrived and a month of school has gone by. What cooperation! It took plenty of it to beat the Sikeston Bulldogs, but the Tigers won 20-7. Why were six girls at school today with their fore fingers bandaged up? Could it be from playing their drums in the Firemens' parade last night? Max Gilstrap, a ranger in Yosemite National Park, entertained us with an interesting speech. He imitated the calls of various birds. Girardots go on sale today. You bet- ter buy one while you can get it for 31.75, because after November 20, the price will be 52.00. Calendar What fun the biology students are having keeping the lizard in his cage. Gee, but most of us are afraid to look at our grade cards after tak- ing those terrible exams. If you get a chance, go into Miss Smith's English class. You will probably hear some very interest- ing speeches. fNo slams intendedl. A Cappella Choir sang at the Colon- ial Tavern for the Cape Medical As- sociation. The Girardot assembly was held in the auditorium today. The theme of their program was Time Marches On.

Defeated Poplar Bluff Mules by a large margin. Rain! Rain! and Rain! When the Tiger came out it had quite a write up about Horace, the tarantula. Are the students glad the Teachers meeting is being held because it means two days extra freedom this week! Southeast Missouri State Chorus was held with many of Central's students participating. Central play- ed Farmington and won, the score being 60 to 0. How do the teachers feel after all the excitement over the week-end? The students hope they won't be given too many new ideas and invent extra tasks. Just another day. Too bad, Paducah, but the Tigers really donft mind if they are on the right end of a 25-0 score. How many of you soaped windows Halloween night? NOVEMBER Passing the school at night one can hear the orchestra rehearsing for their assembly program. The 4 Girl Reserves invited the Nurses' Club to hear Dr. Popp, the local foot doctor, give a speech. Another victory. Cairo, it seems went home looking quite crest- fallen. The Home Economics students are having a regular vacation since Miss Urban has gone to Kansas City. Rumor has gotton around that the girls donit have to come to school either Thursday or Friday morn- ing. Calendar fContinuecD Eighteen years ago today the great- est war in the history of the world was ended. As a tribute to the war dead, taps were blown in the lower front hall. It certainly sent an emotion of reverence and patriot- ism through the students. The first period was given to the orchestra for their assembly pro- gram. Several entertaining num- bers were presented. Regular school today-nothing ox- citing. Trudge onward, students, to your classes. Red Dagger is rehearsing their pub- lic play, The Goose Hangs High. Visit Biology laboratory and you shall see strange things. The voice of experience is speaking. Who's the best girl whistler? Go in Senior Girl Reserves and hear them whistle, but don't laugh at them. Betty Oberheide, Cathryn Clack, and Lavelle Bess, music students from Central, went to Birch Tree, Missouri, to attend a music confer- ence. Silver Spear presents The Pamper- ed Darling in assembly. Drastic measures were used to cure the darling -Tom Fitzpatrick. Crabtree is really doing swell. Here's to the Soldan game Thanks- giving. Jake Wells is working on an in- teresting mural for the art room. Big disappointment! No football queen. The 1937 Girardot Staff of Central High School wishes to thank the business men of Cape Girardeau who have so gen- erously given their support, thus making possible the success- ful publication of this book. Color Day. Show your loyalty by wearing an orange feather. Ouch! There went another snow- ball down Mr. Talbert's back. Al- though it was snowing today, the students certainly didn't stay in doors. The whistle blows and the game is over, Central 33, Soldan 0. Team! Atta stuff! Mr. Wright has a look of satisfac- tion on his face today. Could it have been the Thanksgiving turkey? DECEMBER December is here and Santa may be heard over all the radio stations. Some of our mighty seniors will be among the first members of the Christmas Tree Club, we are told. The Girl Reserves revealed some secrets this morning. Fern Crews certainly did not do as she had plan- ned to before school was out last spring. Instead of going to Texas she went in the opposite direction -to snow-clad Michigan.. Miss Pott's home room of seniors went back to their grade school days by drawing names for Christ- mas presents. National Honor Society has induc- tion ceremony in assembly. Same as October 20. Walking down the hall I overheard one of the members of the Boys' Cooking Club talking to a janitor about the mess they made in the cooking room. Fellows may brag about their cooking, but we never hear them brag about dishwash- ing. The same routine was followed by the students, but still rumors of the coming event of the year, the Junior and Senior Prom, are heard. The male dancer of the Frazier James Dance group seemed to in- terest most of the girls. He, togeth- er with two other ladies, gave a program of interpretative dancing. How many days before Santa Claus comes? Just four more. A Word to 3 5, The school doors are closing X ff Graduates , , 5 G ' behind you.
