To further his ends, he utilized the avail- able resources of nature and invented new mechanisms until he gained the sense of harmonious relationship with his complex surroundings. His vista has broadened with time, and there still lie before him the unconquered realms of attainment which beckon to him to move ever on- ward and upward. 4 Our flag, floating in the breeze, symbolizesjhe security and opportunities aiiorded those who enter the portals seeking the means by which they may achieve their highest ideal.

It relates to the growth or development of anything or anyone. Familiar to all of us is the Century of Progress which convincingly reminded us that the world is making marvelous and almost unbelievable forward strides along all fronts. The credit for this advance and growth goes to those who have, by great effort, sacrifice, and constant appreciation and use of their abilities, been willing to give their best. You must remember that in preparing yourself for the place which you can fill, it will require the best that is in you. You must necessarily learn all you can while in school, not being satisfied with just getting by . Information gives the keen edge to the tools with which you are to Work. In addition to this you must be concerned with those personal qualities which make you truly what you are. Your character is of utmost importance. To succeed, you must be fair to yourself: you must develop character. Acquired knowledge and sturdy character are most desired. To do and give your very best is an obligation you owe yourself. It makes for clear thinking and acting which are urgently needed today. My most sincere wish for each of you is that you make the most of your high school work in preparation for the job which awaits you as you take your place in the world of progress. Your contribution will be in proportion to the effort you are willing to make. With very best wishes, O L. I. SCI-IULTZ It was in the fall of l925 when Mr. L. I. Schultz began his teaching career at Central. Prior to that time he had served as an instructor in the high school at Pontiac, Illinois. 'Upon leav- ing there, he took up his duties at Flat River, Missouri. He then secured a position as principal of the Morning Sun Consolidated School District in Iowa, and later was made superintendent. From there he progressed to Cape Girardeau, where he taught manual arts in the high school here for three years. As a result of his ingenuity and faithfulness, he was made principal in l928, upon the resignation of Mr. R. L. Davidson, lr. In 1935 Superintendent I. A. Whiteford was forced to resign because of ill health, and Mr. Schultz was made superintendent. At the University of Iowa where Mr. Schultz received his Master of Arts degree, he was the recipient of several honors in the Department of Education. His degree of Bachelor of Science in Education was received at the Southeast Missouri State College here in Cape Girardeau. ' BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. I, Morton Thompson . L fzff -1939 Dr. I. W.

Z S I l , l OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION TO CENTRAL STUDENTS: Since man must work in order to provide for his own material needs during the years of his life, there is a dignity in honest toil however lowly it may be. Every human being must do his part in the world of work, and even the smallest child should be given light tasks to do. As he grows in years, intelligence, and ability, these tasks should become heavier in proportion to his strength. By the sacrifice he makes in their performance, he learns that every worth- while accomplishment is the result of effort. Gradually he acquires a dignity and sense of pride which arises from the knowledge of his own achievements. From experience with the burdens, as well as the joys of life, he learns the value of things done for him and comes to the full realization that work is a necessity. He finds that it is the medium through which he can make a return to those who have supplied his wants. The progress of this world depends upon the development of ideas. Work is a privilege because it enables man not only to provide an honest, independent living for himself and his family., but it offers him an opportunity to put into action the thoughts that are born in his mind. All of the great inventions and improvements of services are the result of man's experi- ment in workshops, laboratories, and schools. Temporary failure, discouragement, and financial ruin have come to him through trial after trial. But as long as he has the privilege of working and a place in which to work, he keeps on perfecting his plans and developing his ideas, until at last he gives to the world the finished product of his dreams. PAUL IENKINS. Being the possessor of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree at the University of Missouri, Mr. Ienkins is well qualified for the position as principal of our school. I-Iis extensive knowledge, coupled with a thorough understanding of girls and boys of high school age, makes him a wholly desirable person to lead us. In September of the year 1935 Mr. Ienkins became principal of our high school, having previously been an instructor of the social sciences.

For it is only through the manifestation of the spiritual qualities - obedience, patience, perseverance, loyalty, love, and courageous devotion to duty -Y that one may achieve true success. Success means happiness, and it comes to one only through the Joy of giving happiness to others. ln atter years when you take this book from the shelves of time and search its memories of the past, may you find fulfillment: and may you realize that through habits formed at dear old Central, you have attained the goal of success that you have moved forward and are now ready to enioy the reward peace, contentment, and happiness. MRS. NAETER.

I I DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION Art The art department, which was placed on a major basis in the year of 1925-26, has shown steady development both in numbers participating and in phases of activity offered. The present course consists of two years of art, and each semester's work gives one-half unit of credit. The lb course deals with color theory and the principles of design. The second course, cataloged as la, is commercial in its emphasis and gives particular attention to lettering and the problems involved in poster making. Costume and figure drawing are the main topics in Zb, or third semester art. During the fourth term, or 2a course, interior decoration is the chief topic: and crafts connected with the home are taught, thereby giv- ing opportunity for the practical application of principles previously developed. For those who are not particularly talented but nevertheless interested, the Art Club is provided. All of the work of this department is under the direction of Miss Edna l-larnan and is designed so as to bring out crea- tiveness in the student and to build an appreciation of beauty in all of its forms. English and Speech All high school students are required to take four years of work in English. These regular eight semesters of work include grammar, composition, literature, speech, and jour- nalism. For students who wish to do some specialization, there are additional courses in public speaking and drama, each being one-semester subjects. The departmental work in speech is supplemented by the lunior and Senior Public Speaking Clubs. The Red Dagger and Silver Spear Clubs offer extra practice in dramatics, having one regular week- ly club period and one public performance each year. The extracurricular work in journalism includes the Tiger, a bi- weekly newspaper, and the Girardot, a yearbook which is issued at the close of school. The English course is planned so as to give the student a skillful use of mechanics and an appreciation of all differ- ent types of literary effort. The journalism unit centers around the intelligent reading of the newspaper and an understand- ing of its function in expressing American public opinion. Speech fundamentals and drills encourage the student to speak well and give him an appreciation of the beauty of his own language. The work of the English department is organized as fol- lows: Miss Welman and Miss Lucille McLain 4 sophomore English: Miss Sadler, Miss Eckelmann, and Miss Reed e-- lunior English, Miss Eloise McLain and Miss Uhl f senior English. ln addition to regular class work, each teacher sponsors one or more extracurricular activity. ,-224. DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION Commercial For those students who plan to engage in commercial work, a very satisfactory course is offered. The school is equipped with standard machines, and a one-year course in typing is offered, with special emphasis on speed and ac- curacy. Students who are actively interested in commer- cial work as a vocation are urged to take the two years of shorthand and one year of bookkeeping. Other courses included in this department are commercial arithmetic, law, and geography, all of which are one-semester subjects. To supplement the regular departmental activities and to give an opportunity for students to test their aptitudes for com- mercial work, the Typing and Shorthand Clubs were organ- ized. y All commercial work is under the direction of Miss Cor- nelia Gockel and Mr. C. E. Miller. Even though the work in this section is optional, the department is filled to capacity. Home Economics The activities of the home economics classes include most of the important phases of homemaking. Students not only learn how to sew and cook, but they are taught in- telligent buying, home nursing, the selection of clothing, and interior decoration. The courses are organized as fol- lows: First year -- cooking and sewingg second year - clothing, home equipment, and home decoration, with some of the crafts related to the home. The last unit is correlated with the art department and is done there in the regular ZA section. The work of this department gives some of the most practical information offered at Central, and the in- creasing demand for its courses gives evidence of the ef- ficient work Miss lones is doing. Foreign Languages Although French was formerly offered at Central, it has not been in the regular curriculum since 1927. First year French is again a part of the course, being reinstated in the fall of l938. lt includes the study of French grammar and some literary selections. Miss Uhl is in charge of all activities in this section. The Latin division regularly includes a two-year course, and third year Latin is offered when the demand is sufficient. First year students learn Latin grammar and do intensive work in word study. The second and third year courses include the study of the writings of great Roman authors. One of the important departmental organizations is the Latin Club. All of the work of the department is under Miss Krueger's direction. -i23L, DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION Music The music department ot Central is a very exemplary one, it being accustomed to receiving excellent ratings in competitive events. No music credit is required for gradua- tion, but a great many students take advantage ot the ex- cellent opportunities ottered them. For the people interested in the vocal phase of music there are the chorus classes, Girls' Glee Club, and Boys' Glee Club. The highest honor in vocal music is membership in the A Cappella Chorus, and its members are chosen from people in the two glee clubs. An extracurricular group which meets just tor the pleasure they derive from singing together is the Boys' Singing Club. Instrumental instruction is given in band, orchestra, and string ensemble. Miss Frieda Rieclc is the director ot music, having charge ot all the work in the department except the band which is instructed by Mr, William A. Shivelbine. About half oi the students in Central participate in some form of musical activity. They tind in it an outlet tor their own self-expression and a sense ot power which comes from the development ot skill, as well as the joy that comes from hearing the great harmonies ot the masters ot music. Industrial Arts Each ninth grade student in the junior high schools is required to take a year of manual training. When he enters Central, this work is entirely optional, but the department is filled to capacity. Three courses are otiered, each one earning one-halt unit ot credit toward graduation. Mechani- cal drawing is tollowed by advanced drawing. For those who desire further practice a course in benchwork is given. Many usetul and attractive articles are made tor the homey and in their construction students learn about woods, colors, scale, balance, proportion, and all of the important elements in home decoration. Extra instruction is also given in home mechanics from which may be learned methods ot repairing and adjustment ot gadgets in the average house- hold. All departmental activities are in charge oi Mr. Martin Roth. Undoubtedly the classes otiered do help in a sub- stantial way to bring about a real appreciation ot beauty as it tinds expression in both home and public structures. Mathematics Only one unit of mathematics is required tor graduation: however those students who plan to enter college are urged to take an additional unit. Algebra is the required course, but further Work may be done in advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and commercial arithmetic. The Math Club is the extracurricular branch tor the depart- ment. Miss Grace N. Williams and Mr. Albert I. Weis have charge ot instruction. i ,..24,,, DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION Q History and Social Science The function of history is to present a study of people and their actions through the ages in both group and individual relationships and to give an understanding of the institutions and forces that have shaped the course of events in human existence. Man endeavors to learn from the past in order that he may not repeat the errors of his ancestors. The history course in Central requires three and one- half units of work and includes a study of citizenship, Ameri- can history, world history, and a half-unit course of govern- ment. In order to keep up with modern social trends which manifest a growing interest in the way people live and work together, Central offers sociology and economics. This study of the problems of society and business reveals many new phases of life to students and acquaints them more intimately with the difficulties they will meet later in life situations. The instructors in the history and social science courses are Miss Pott, Mrs. Naeter, Miss Eckelmann, Miss Alexander, Miss Sadler, and Mr. Wright. Physical Education An attempt is being made in the physical education de- partment to build a better citizenship by developing good habits of fair play. In the classes good sportsmanship is one of the main points stressed. Each semester contributes one-fourth of a unit toward graduation, and a student must have one-half unit of credit to graduate. Boys' physical education includes contests of Washers, horseshoes, softball, and basketball during school time. ln addition to the class periods much time is spent after school in the gym and out on the field. lntrascholastic contests of all kinds are carried on during the various seasons. Foot- ball, basketball, and track constitute the interscholastic sports. In addition to the physical education classes, a student is required to take one semester of hygiene, in which he studies the human body and how it functions. All of this work is under the supervision and direction of Coach Muegge. Girls' physical education is somewhat similar to that of the boysy however their regular class work consists of volleyball, basketball, bowling, ping pong, and softball. No interscholastic contests for girls are held, but contests within the school are regularly conducted. ln keeping with the boys, the girls too are required to take one semester of hygiene. Miss Alexander is the instructor for all of these classes. Regular classes of swimming are offered during the year for both girls and boys. These classes meet at the Teachers College at night twice a week. Miss Alexander instructs the girls, and Mr. Medcalf has charge of the boys' groups. .CCQ5 c DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION The Library and Study Hall Centra1's library and study hall are two cf the busiest sections in the building. There are 8333 books, 1089 pam- phlets, and 58 magazines available for use. For current event material either the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or the Globe-Demd crat is provided, and at different intervals newspapers from many sections of our country are secured for class use. Miss Norma Regenhardt is the librarian and has charge of the ordering and classification of all books and supplies for the department. Mrs. Rose B. Gordon shares the library work with Miss Regenhardt, taking active charge of all checking during the time that Miss Hegenhardt is in the study hall. The library is indeed one of the most helpful and efficient of Centra1's branches. For those students who are interested in library work, special hours are assigned to them for assisting with the mending of books and the issuing of magazines. 1n this way students gain a knowledge of library methods which might help them to make an intelligent choice of this vocation. An- other vital part of the work of Mrs. Gordon is the sponsoring of the Library Club, which meets once a week for the sharing of information about good books and a discussion of gen- eral literary trends of our time. Science ln keeping with the growing interest in the field of scientific research, Central offers four branches of work. For those who are interested in gaining a wide range of informa- tion, there is a course in general science. A more specialized work is done in chemistry, physics, and biology. A11 four subjects are one-year courses and each give one unit of credit. One year of science is required for graduation, and any one of the four courses may be chosen. Mrs. Carrie Hoffman Findley teaches biology, and the other three courses are given by Mr. A. I. Weis and Mr. W. E. Medcalf.

Here's to our lasses! Here's to the lads they adore! Here's to the Seniors so mighty, Iuniors so flighty, Freshies, and Sophomores, Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness, And as the days go by You'll find us ready and steady Boosting for our old High.

Crockery plates were unpopular because they dulled the knives. Experiments were begun with ether and gas to make a patient unconscious While an opera- tion was being performed. I Buttons were expensive: therefore, trousers were fastened with pegs or lace, , Leather breeches, checked shirt, red flannel jacket, and a cocked hat formed the dress of a real artisan. Horace Mann found that the typical Boston school gave sixty-five Whippings a day. Charles Goodyear discovered the process of vulcanizing rubber. SIXTY YEARS AGO There were no department stores in America. Thomas Edison's first successful incandescent lamp was produced. The first telephone exchange was established at New Haven, Connecticut. Woolworth's Five-and-Ten Cent Stores were started. Clara Barton was attempting to organize the American Red Cross. FORTY YEARS AGO The speed of life was four miles an hour. Girls wore skirts to their ankles, high topped shoes, long sleeved blouses, and scarves aroundwtheir necks when indulging in gymnastics. Men wore trousers fitted close to their legs. Men wore stiff white collars and wide flowing ties. Girls' swimming suits came below the knees and had high necks and long sleeves. Dark stockings were worn with this type of suit. The Czar of Russia led in assembling the first Hague Peace Conference. Street cars were pulled by horses. The Wright Brothers were being ridiculed for their experiments with heavier-than-air fly- ing machines. THIRTY YEARS OF PROGRESS AT CENTRAL From 1908 to 1911 there were no graduates at Central. In 19ll there were 47 1915-17g 1925-135: 1930-144, 1935-1595 l939-l80. The Student Council was started in 1927 with Emil Steck as its president. The physical education department was begun in 1922 with Mr. Hap Bernard as director. Two years later physical education classes became compulsory, and Miss Iessie Hutson was added to the staff as director of girls' athletics. In addition to looking forward to the annual plays of the Red Dagger and Senior Class Central students of yesteryear looked forward to the Farmers' Fair, a gala event in which the entire school participated. In 1920 the Order of Honor was established to give recognition to students who had repre- sented Central in athletic and academic events in competition with other schools. The organization of the National Honor Society in 1927 displaced the Order of Honor. ln 1925 Central with five contestants won the Mississippi Valley Track Meet. The annex was added to Central in 1920, however, until 1934, when the cafeteria and passageway were constructed, it was not connected with the main building, and entrance was possible by the front door only. The Tiger was originally known as the Clarion, the name being changed in 1923. The 1939 volume of the Tiger completes its twentieth year of publication. Seven new clubs as well as a string ensemble became a part of Central's activities in 1938 and 1939. ..56.. One of the priceless legacies of modern man is the store of accumulated knowledge transferred from the past. From the be- ginning of time there has been a steady increase in knowledge, each age and na- tion contributing a supply of information regarding the wanders of its world. These tangible facts are an indispensable part of our existence and a challenge that presses us into new realms so that we too may procure rich gifts to lay on the altar of civilization.

The Latin Club is one of the newly organized clubs at Central and is affiliated with the Iunior Classical League, a national organization. The purpose of this league is to foster interest in classical studies among the youth of the nation. During the first semester meetings were spent in reading plays of Roman life, and in study' ing the lives and customs of Roman people. The study of Roman myths and Roman costumes was taken up in the second semester. A part of the time was spent in working on a puppet show, the theme of which was taken from the myth of Ceres and Proserpina, and the puppets were dressed in ancient Roman costume. Members of the club also joined Latin students when they held their annual Saturnalia Feast.

The lunior Public Speaking Club was organized in 1937 so that the sophomores and first- half juniors who were interested in speech might have preliminary training along lines that met their particular needs. Programs for club meetings were planned after a poll of speech needs was made andlincluded units of work on parliamentary procedure, story telling, impromptu speeches, pantomime, orations, classroom reports, and radio. Halloween and Valentine parties provided opportunities for after-dinner and impromptu speeches. As has been the custom since its organization the club again sponsored the Sophomore Oratorical Contest, Mildred Carter serving as chairman.

To give students a chance to speak before an audience, varied weekly programs, includ- ing conversations, speeches, radio work, debates, interpretation, and choral speaking, were pre- pared. Two social functions provided speech situations. The first was a I-lallowe'en banquet, and the second was a dinner arranged for the double purpose of bidding Miss Brewer farewell and Miss Sadler welcome.

By careful, painstaking work the 1939 staff attempted to present an accurate picture of the activities of Central High School. Along with the pleasure derived from compiling this material the staff members received much valuable experience in publishing ct book and in conducting a successful business enterprise. The work of the staff was divided into three groups, the art work being supervised by Miss Reed, the literary work by Miss Eckelmann, and the business activities by Miss Krueger. By means of subscriptions, advertisements, and the boat excursion the finances of the book were covered. The advertising was done by the business staff, but the subscriptions and excursion tickets were sold by the entire staff. Two assembly program were presented to introduce the staff to the student body and to launch the sales campaigns. The first of these programs was centered about a mythical archeo- logical expedition in l999 in which, among the ruins of Central, was found the 1939 Girardot. A hint as to the contents of the book as well as its future was given by the explorers tTim O'Connell and Earl Riordanl. ln the second program Girardot, for whom the book is named, inter! viewed the staff as to its progress.

At this year's meetings of the club, programs consisted of short plays given by members and the study of the lives of some of the great actors, actresses, and directors of plays. The major production presented this year was Charles Quimby Burdette's popular play, Shirt Sleeves .

The cast's ef- forts were rewarded by a completely filled auditorium when the play was presented to the public on the nights of November 15 and 16, under the direction of Miss Eloise McLain, the club sponsor. This play was based on the old saying that it takes just three generations for a family to go from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves and concerns the reactions of the different members of the Rand family upon learning that their fortune was lost. The self-pitying, spoiled wife and mother in the family, played by Mary Barney, proved herself unworthy of the trust placed in her by leaving the scene until matters were settled by her husband, Franklin Rand, characterized by Tim O'Connell. The lovable twins, Esther and Theodore, did their best to help by obtaining small jobs and keeping the family's spirits up: and the sophisticated Diana Rand became a truly likeable person. The plot was further complicated when the older son, Donald, announced his intention to marry Margie Scanlon, daughter of the town drunkard. Having been used to only struggle herself, Margie straightened out the whole affair when she revealed Richard Crandall, the smoot but hard business man, to be the real source of the difficulties. Loyal Kitty, a servant in the household, added considerable comedy to the play.

The production was an ambitious under- taking in that it required a difficult stage setting, period costume, and a wide range of character- ization, but under the direction of Miss Martha I. Welman these problems were adequately met and a creditable performance was given. The action of the play centered in The Yellow House in Beulah, New Hampshire, which was bought by the family after the death of their father. After living in the Yellow House for a month Nancy and Gilbert discovered that they were not the rightful owners of the house that was now so dear to them and their mother. All ended well when it was learned that the hand- some young man with whom Nancy had fallen in love was the owner and was willing for Mother Carey and her family to retain the place. Much of the humor of the play depended on the characterization of Brandon Mehrle as the jolly handy man, Ossian Popham, of Betty lo Clay, his coy daughter, and of Betty Bauerle, his sharp-tongued wife. lane Robertson as Nancy Carey, Mary Frances Marshall as her younger sister Kathleen, Thurston Blount as Gilbert, and young Andy Bill Dalton as Peter endeared them- selves yto the audience by the natural interpretation of their juvenile roles. Marvin Strunk, Ieanne Oliver, and Dorothy Damm offered a nice constrast in their more mature parts. lack Caldwell as the hero and Dugan Ramey as his rival were especially well received by the high school audience. lean Bimrose as the ill-adjusted cousin of the family complicated the action of the play by her haughty aloof manners and by her jealousy.

The Silver Spear Dramatic Club was organized to promote interest in drama, to provide stu- dents who have ability and interest with an opportunity for participation in dramatics, and to give a keener appreciation of drama. Membership is limited to sophomores and junior B's. To accomplish these purposes programs centered around the practicing of pantomimes, use of voice, characterization, presentation of plays and skits, dialect, and the study of the lives of modern actors and actresses. Much time was spent in planning and preparing an assembly program and a major production. The assembly program presented at Christmas was the be- loved Christmas Carol by Dickens. Mother Carey's Chickens was the title of the public production. At the beginning of each semester initiation parties were enjoyed, the new members pre- senting the program. The Mexican motif was carried out in the first semester's party, and Stars of Tomorrow was the theme used the second semester.

I rp 0 s dj W! x riff: .dt THE SENIOR PLAY . Ju The Senior Class presented Apron-String Revolt on the evening of March 2, 1939. The play was written by Dorothy Hood Stewart and was under the direction of Miss Eloise McLain. The story was that of the youthful mother, Elizabeth Holt, who reared her son, David, with the use of magazines on child care and feminine persuasion. Fenstermacher, the football coach who gave David a slight tap on the jaw because he resented the coach's discipline, caused the apron-string revolt. Elizabeth fluttered around like a mother hen fighting her son's battles, and David, being ashamed to have his mother fighting his battles, ran away. Everyone was in a panic, including police, newspapermen, and the football team. Besides all this it was supposed that David killed a man. At this point the coach went to the rescue, and David was brought home, innocent of any crime. Annabelle, Elizabeth's friend, offered Fenstermacher suggestions as to how to make David follow his mother's directions and how to win Elizabeth. The curtain closed on a happy state of affairs.

Because this group is recognized as one of the finest musical organizations in Central, it has done much to further the appreciation of music by singing only the best selections. To be eligible for membership one must be in either the Boys' or Girls' Glee Club. Membership in the A Cappella Chorus is the highest vocal honor that a student can attain during his high school days.

The orchestra was organized in IQZU, which makes it one of the oldest activities at Central. As the result of its steady progress through the intervening years it is now recognized as one of the best in this section of the state. The purpose of the orchestra is to train the students so that they may enjoy and understand the best music and to provide a worthwhile source of enjoyment and a worthy use of leisure time. The orchestra under the direction of Miss Rieck provided music for some of the most im- portant activities at Central: among these were the Red Dagger Play, Senior Play and Commence- ment. ,Music for the Silver Spear Play was provided by the String Ensemble, a group selected from the string section of the orchestra. This organization also played for assembly programs at Central and at the College. Two out of town trips were made by the members of the orchestra this year. One was to Caruthersville where they gave a concert, and the other was to University City for a music festival, OFFICERS First Semester Second Semster Ramon Gibson President Louis Bahn Carmen Botter Vice-President Kenneth Johnston Billy Shivelbine Secretary-Treasurer Evelyn Evans Kenneth Iohnson Librarians Ben Blair Louis Bahn Alfred Thiele Brandon Mehrle Stage Managers Marvin Strunk Tim O'Connell lack Caldwell Dan Cotner Melva Rose Schrader Reporter Melva Rose Schrader Miss Rieck Director Miss Rieck MEMBERS NOT HAVING PICTURES Carmen Botter, Bill Brandt, Ramon Gibson, Margie Reynolds, Dick Higgs, Charlotte Sims, Dorothy Statler, Thelma Trovillion, Billy Walsh, Ben Frank Wiseman. ..73.. :Egan I 507. lg ,ty L1 '3 BAND Left to right, Row l - lames Evitts, Oneta Brown, Bill Mozo, Nat Snider, Laura Hensley, Billy Shivelbine, LaVerne Willer, Dorothea Hunze, Betty Io Clay, Lionel Minnen, Helen Marshall, Mary lane Thompson, Lawrence Bahn, Norma Dunham, Mary Lee Reed, Brandon Mehrle, Carmen Botter, Dorothy Flentge.

In 1925 the Central High School Band was first organized by Miss Rieck, and in 1931 it was taken over by Mr. Shivelbine. As the band is both a popular and valuable activity, it now has a membership of eighty. The purpose of the band is to develop an appreciation for good music and to teach the fundamental principles of playing a musical instrument. The band provided music and stunts for all the home football and basketball games, and it was their pep, enthusiasm, and loyal spirit that played a large part in all of Central's victories. ln addition to furnishing music at the athletic events the band gave two concerts for the assembly programs, one the first semester and one the second. The band also participated in parades at Sikeston, Poplar Bluff, and in the American Legion Convention parade in our own city. The Concert Band does not confine itself solely to the playing of marches but plays a wide variety of waltzes, symphonic compositions, classics, and novelties. On March 24 the Band went to Cairo, Illinois, to give a concert for the High School. Last year Cairo gave a concert for Central and this year the band returned the favor. The band also participated in the music festival in University City on March 31.

Centrcxl's Drum and Bugle Corps is an important factor in fostering school spirit and en- thusiasm at all out door activities. In formation it presents a striking picture with its flashing colors and its excellent marching ability. As a musical unit it affords girls an opportunity to become proficient as drummers and huglers. The work of the corps consists of routine drilling, the performing of original stunts at football games, and the participation in civic parades. During the meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays the girls practice music and drilling and receive instructions concerning public ap- peara nces.

The Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Rieck, is a popular activity at Central. Each year this organization appears on programs of various kinds in the community and in school. The musical comedy Trial by lury , by the well known team of Gilbert and Sullivan, was presented to the student body during the first quarter as the major production of the combined glee clubs. The comedy was an exaggerated mock trial for breach of promise, With Dan Cotner as the defendant. The role of the kindly, considerate judge was rightfully taken by Tim O'Connell. Brandon Mehrle was the bundle of wisdom employed by the plaintiff as her counsel. ln con- trast to the lawyer Bill Bohnsack played the part of the Very simple-minded, jolly, court usher, while the jury was made up of the rest of the Boys' Glee Club.

Glee Club boys were not eligible for member- shipg however, some boys of this group who showed ability were asked to enter the chorus class or to join the Glee Club. The club period was spent in singing popular ballads, familiar melodies and college songs suitable for boys. In an assembly program during the first semester the boys sang three numbers, I-Iere's to our Dear Old High School , There's a Tavern in Our ToWn , and O Sole Mio , an Italian folk song.

One of the most fascinating and useful branches of science is chemistry. The students of Central interested in this field of learning formed Le Societe des Alchemiste in 1934 in order to gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of it. Most phases of the organization deal with the practical aspects of this science. Some of the interesting studies made this year were stratosphere balloons, explosives, fluorescent objects, smoke consumers, manufacturing plants, and the making of rayon. The studies were conducted through demonstrations by members of the club. OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester W. A. Iuden President W.

I,., -356 lillltltl Modern civilization in our industrial Ina- chine age has made it more difficult to keep mentally and physically well. To bring the realization of a sound mind in a sound body , our schools will have to teach not only physical training and health, but they must recognize that edu- cation through the physical may also develop a set of valuable attitudes and skills for good citizenship. Medical science has lengthened life's spang the task re- mains to give man more years of positive health, which will bring greater fulfillment. THE COACH AND HIS DEPARTMENT As the director of boys' athletics and instructor of the boys' hygiene classes Coach Muegge through his earnest and untiring efforts has produced many fine basketball, football, and track teams, has stimulated much interest in all intramural activities, and has created among the boys a spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship. ' 0 P' W Coach came to Cape Girardeau in 1928 after having received training for his work at the Universities of VV'isconsin and lllinois. Vlfhile he attended these -schools, he participated in the various athletic activities and did out- standing work on the gridiron. ln 1929, a year after he came to Central, he produced a team which not only won every game but which also held its opponents scoreless. ln 1930 he left Central to take a position in Steelton, Pennsylvania, where he remained for three years, returning to Central in 1934. Again in 1936-1937 he produced a team which won all its scheduled games and which coach considered equal in ability to the 1929 team. This season Coach produced a standard football team, winning six out of the eight scheduled games. Our two defeats were credited to Maplewood and lackson. The lackson defeat will probably be remembered for some time as it was the first time in ten years that lackson defeated Central on the gridiron. Coach Muegge has not only been successful in training winning basket- ball and football teams, but he has encouraged the growth of other activities which give many boys an opportunity to participate in sports. This year intra- mural activities flourished, a large number of boys participating with keen interest. More enthusiasm was shown for track this spring than had been evi- denced in recent years.

SQUAD AND SEASON All in all the football season of 1938 could be considered as a successful season, the Tigers winning all their games excepting two. These were lost to the Maplewood Leafs and to the Iackson Indians. Good, clean ball was played throughout the season, and each member of the team gave his best efforts: this is sometimes more important than winning. Central encountered its first game of the season at the Houck Stadium with Marion, Illinois. ln this game the Tigers doubled the score on the Marion team, the total being 38-19. Central's second battle, also at home, was fought with Cairo, Illinois, the Tigers trampling Cairo by a score of 36-0. The Bengals next played Mayfield. Some excellent playing against the fighting eleven of Kentucky was displayed. The result was a score of 19-7 in favor of the Tigers. The Tigers' first defeat was experienced when they met the flashy Maplewood Leafs of St, Louis County. At the end of the game the score stood at 7-20. The tussle with Webster Groves, another St. Louis County team, was the most exciting game up to this point. Both teams played scoreless ball in the first three quarters, but in the fourth period each team scored a touchdown, tying the score until Central's good extra point gave them the victory of 7-6. The encounter with Poplar Bluff netted a score of 19-O in favor of the Tigers. This was the seventh game in which Poplar Bluff's team failed to cross the goal line. ln a flashing aerial attack that was not equalled during the entire season the Bengals administered a defeat of 34-12 to the Sikeston Bulldogs. The last game of the season, played on a wet, muddy field at Iackson, resulted in the Tigers' second defeat in their eight scheduled games, the score standing 6-O. Iackson not only defeated the Bengals but also held them scoreless, something no other team of the season was able to do. Consequently this was the first time in ten years that lackon has defeated Central on the gridiron. In spite of a cold, driving rain Central was unusually well-supported by Cape Girardeau fans. i J LETTERM JM '7 ' HOWARD BOCK-Halfback Buck was a flashy backfield man, being a most consistent ball carrier and a hard tackler.

BEN ROBERTS-Halfback Ben made it a habit to grab passes, netting lengthy gains time and again. BOB BLATTNER-Center Bob's accurate passes and commend- able blocking were very valuable to the Tigers. His type of playing will surely make him an outstanding player next fall. BOB BEARD-Guard Although one of the smallest men on the team, he was one of the most con- sistent players.

A Q P LOBEN CRITES-Guard Captain Throughout the season Loren's de- pendable blocking and sturdy playing made him an outstanding player on both offense and defense.

As Central did not include track in its athletic program of 1938, these results were particularly gratifying. Next year coach hopes to build greater interest in this phase of Central's sports. The Bengals won their first meet, a triangular event held with Patton and Perryville, by taking firsts in six of the thirteen events and tying in another. The Tigers netted a score of 65 1-3 points, Perryville 26 2-3, and Patton 25. ln a dual meet with the Poplar Bluff Mules the Tigers won their second straight meet 683A points to 44V4. In seven events the Tigers scored firsts and tied for another. Poplar Bluff took firsts in five events. Earl Sams of Central was the individual scorer with ll points, placing first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and being a member of the winning 880 relay team. The Tigers met defeat in the triangular meet held at Charleston with the Blue lays of that town and the Kennett Indians. The Charleston team captured first place with 80 l-6 pointsg Kennett placed second with 39 5-6 points: and Central came in third with 32 points. Of the four- teen events Charleston won ten firsts and tied for another. Twenty-four schools competed for honors in the Herrin relays held on April 22. Central gained eight points, having placed in two events. ln the 880 yard relay Central won third place and came in fifth in the 'shuttle-hurdle relay.

LETTERMEN BEARD -- Bob was really the wildhorse of the team this year, when he once got loose, the fans could count on two points being put down on the scoreboard. He had plenty of pep and vitality which would make him an asset to any basketball team. SAMPLE -- Gerald contributed some fine playing throughout the season: and as he has two more years at Central, he is expected to be even more valuable to the team. UNDERWOOD 1 This was Duck's first year with Central, but he won a steady place on the Bengal's quintet as a result of his careful ball-handling and capable leadership. BURNS - Grandma is one of the tallest men on the team, and his favorite sport seemed to be getting the ball off the backboard. Bud still has another season in which to retrieve balls and place them to Central's advantage. BEHRENS -7- lay doesn't have much to say at any time: perhaps he saved his energy and applied it to his basketball. At any rate he played good clean ball with great ease, never seeming to get worried or excited in a close game. His specialty was that of making long-range shots in tense minutes of play. He should be of great value to the team next season, BOWERS W- This was also Burnell's first year with the Tigers as he came to us this year from Oak Ridge, Missouri. He proved himself to be a capable player in the short time that he was here. BRUNE Charles played on the Central team several years, and his ability and leadership made him a valuable player who was popular with the fans. He will be missed on the court next season. -95- BASKETBALL Left to Bight, Row 1 - Bob Beard, Burnell Bowers, Gerald Sample, Gene Underwood, Bud Burns, lack Behrens, Charles Brune, Ivan Henle, Manager lack Smart.

SUMMARY OF SEASON This season Central had a moderately successful basketball team, winning twelve out of sixteen scheduled games. Their four defeats were chalked up to the Preps, St. Louis, Cairo, and Fruitland. Both games scheduled with the lackson lndians were won by Central, this being the first time that Central has scored over the Iackson Indians in basketball since 1933. Out of the sixteen games the Central-Fruitland game was undoubtedly the most exciting and interesting. The tussle was a spirited battle throughout, especially in the closing seconds. The margin never went beyond four points, and that was held by the Tigers with two minutes to play in the first half when they were out in front. ln the last quarter the score was tied 14-14 with three minutes having been played, again at 16-16 with five minutes gone, at 17-17 With only thirty seconds to play, and at 19-19 with ten seconds to go. ln the last ten seconds of play the Fruitland Greyhounds sank one more basket and a free toss to send the score up to 19-22. ln the Regional Tournament which was held at Poplar Bluff Central played its first game with West Plains, defeating that team by a score of 34-14. ln the next match Ava was defeated by the Tigers by a score of 44-24. ln the finals Central lost out in the clash with Houston, the 1938 state champions, who took the game by a 29-25 score. This placed the Bengals second in the tournament.

PING PONG DOUBLES As it had been in previous years the ping pong tournament was again a big success, a large number of teams entering. The teams remaining in the tournament for the final game were Nat Snider and Bob Hagen versus lack Behrens and Charles Brune. The battle ended in victory for Nat and Bob, giving them the l939 championship. Behrens and Brune who placed second were the winners of this contest in 1938. PING PONG SINGLES There was also a large turn out for the ping pong singles, and naturally each one tried his very best to win. The tourney ended with Bob Hagen capturing the first place, making him champion in both the singles and doubles. VVASHER TOURNAMENT This popular out door sport brought out eighty contestants. Some of the accepted rules of this contest were: a ringer counted five points: a leaner counted three points: and the washer which landed nearest the cup earned one point: twenty-one points was game. HORSESHOE DOUBLES As is usually the case this sport was a popular springtime event, sixty-four students par- ticipating in the tournament. HORSESHOE SINGLES The single horseshoe tourney also proved to be an attractive activity as thirty-six con- testants turned out, all hoping to be the winner. TENNIS The tennis tournament was popular but not to the same extent as other intramural sports because it could not be conducted here at school. The games were run off at the Fairground Park: consequently not as many students could keep up with the games as easily as if they were played at school. Thirty-two boys took part in this event. BASKETBALL Many boys received a chance to show their ability in basketball through these games. The practice games were held after school in the afternoons, and the games were played off at night or after school. The winners were the Heavy Bouncers and the Ramblers placed second. Bernard Bremmerman assisted in managing this activity. -gg- grrfri: :'::'t' 7772-1 :'1i':TQ:i'T:t i GIRLS' ATHLETICS Miss Alexander, director of girls' athletics, began her activities in the physical education department at Central several years before she came here as a teacher. As a student of Central she played a forward position on the class basketball teams in her junior and senior years. Tommy , as she is still known to many of her friends, was interested in all phases of athletics as can be determined by the fact that she was a member of the Athletic and Tennis Clubs and that she participated in track events. During three seasons at Cen- tral she was yell leader and a member of the Tigerettes, a club she now spon- sors. Her interests reached out to other activities as well as those in the athletic department: she belonged to the lunior and Bed Dagger Dramatic Clubs, the Girls' Glee Club, Student Council, and the National Honor Society. After her graduation in l93O she attended the Southeast Missouri State Teachers Col- lege where she again participated in many activities among which were the Womens Athletic Association and the pep squad. She received her A. B. and B. S. degrees from this school and then entered the graduate school of Columbia University in New York City. ln l934 she came to Central as instructor in hygiene and director of girls' athletics. That she has been successful in creat- ing an interest in this department is evidenced by the enthusiasm with which the girls enter intramural activities and class work. This year the work carried on in the athletic department was similar to that of previous seasons, basketball, baseball, and volleyball being played. ln addition to these a new phase of work was undertaken, folk dancing. A number of dances of the European countries were studied, and a wide interest among the girls was created. Corrective exercises were offered each Friday for those who wished to take them, and many girls attended these sessions. Swimming classes were held on Tuesday and Thursday nights, with Carmen Botter assisting Miss Alexander in her work. Three forty-five minute classes were held for beginning, intermediate, and advanced swimmers, the work beginning at 6:45 o'clock. Intramural tournaments in basketball, volleyball, aerial darts, and ping pong were held under the direction of Sports Club members, Virginia Temple- ton and Mary Ellen Botter, -gga- V t GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS Left to right 4 Dorothy Kaempte, Mary Ellen Batter, Helen Louise Smude, luliene Brinlcopt, Emra Snider, Betty Bauer, Virginia Templeton, Verna Mills. The intramural program for girls opened with a volleyball tournament. During the three Weeks preceding the tournament practices were held twice each week. At the close of this period these captains were chosen for their various class squads: Seniors, Carmen Botter and Iuanita Sides: Iuniors, Verna Mills: Sophomores, Norma lean Dunham, Mary Frances Marshall, Lois Busche, and Wanda Watson. Each year the Girls' Sports Club sponsors these games, this year Virginia Templeton of the organization being general manager. Verna Mills was high point girl, and Mary Ellen Botter ran a close second. Both were members of the lunior B's, the victorious team.

The victors in basketball were the luntor A's captained by Iultene Brinkopf. Other teams and captains were: Seniors, luanita Sides: luniors, Bernice Seabaugh, Sophomores, Norma lean Dunham and Mary lo Howard. This contest like all other intramural activities for girls was sponsored by the Girls' Sports Club, Mary Ellen Botter of the club serving as manager. Preceding the tournament Miss Alexander coached the teams for several weeks in the gym classes and in extra practices after school.

During each semester the club was divided into two teams that participated in contests held during the club period. The first semester teams were the Lightnings and Hawks , the latter being losers and hosts to the winners on a Wiener roast at the Dennis Scivally Park. Names chosenufor the teams during the second half of the year were the Stars and the Basketeers. Following a custom established several years ago, the club sponsored girls' volleyball and basketball tournaments. Managers for each of the intrarnurals, including aerial darts and ping pong, were chosen by the club and were selected from the girls within the unit. On Saturday, May 6, the annual play day for all girls within the school was held. Com- mittees made up of the club members arranged for the event. The theme was a rodeo , and the teams were named for ranches. Virginia Templeton, presiding officer of the Sports Club, was general chairman. This year ranked as one of the most outstanding and successful the club has ever had.

The Photographers' Club was organized this fall by a group of kodak enthusiasts. To be- long to the club each student was required to have his own kodak and developing set before applying for membership. The book, How to Make Good Pictures, published by the Eastman Kodak Company was used as the basis of their study. During the club period they had outside speakers who helped and encouraged them in their work. These speakers were: Mr. Garland Fronabarger, Missourian Photographery Mr. Chester Kassel and Mr. Paul Lueders, local photographersg Mr. James Dalton, a former Central student who developed an interest in photography while serving in the navyg Mr. Franklin Owensy and Mr. Iohn Ellison. At the close of each semester every member was required to turn in two snapshots. The first semester's assignment called for a picture of a building and a view of the river. An animal was to be the subject of the second semester's work along with a trick or freak snap. These prints were displayed at the annual exhibit.

The Shorthand Club was first organized in September, 1938, to offer guidance in commercial subjects. lt was open to any student desiring to become acquainted with what shorthand is all about. The second semester the club did not organize due to a great demand for a typing club which took its place. For the semester the programs were divided into two groups: first, the study of the shorte hand alphabet, simple phrases, and brief forms, second, a review of the book She Strives to Conquer by Frances Maule, which tells about woman's place in business life.

Prom that new outlook evolved the sense of social responsibility which made him know that he has a duty not only to him- self but also to his fellow men. His feel- ings and sympathies must go beyond his own narrow realm and view all of hu- manity as the most valuable part of God's creation, to be helped and to be inspired to attain the greatest physical, mental, and spiritual development of which they are capable. I l fmt P. T. A. To promote child welfare, to secure a better understanding between the parents and school, to give support to the teachers, to co-operate with the school board, to understand the plans and aims of education, and to help theschool in the fulfilment of its duties, are the purposes of the Central High School Parent-Teacher Association. The theme for the past year was Character Education , and the speak- ers who presented the various phases of this topic at the monthly meetings were: Rev. Don E. Schooler, Mr. Paul Ienkins, Mrs. I. Wilson Crichlow, Miss Lena Rhue, Superintendent of Schools L. I. Schultz, and Rev. William H. Wolfe. A social meeting in honor of the Sophomore mothers was held in Sep- tember With Mrs. Herman Bremmerman as hospitality chairman. A Christmas party Was given in honor of the teachers, Mrs. E. M. Bartlett serving as program chairman and Mrs. Otis W. Thompson as banquet chairman. At this time the Unit gave napkins for the cafeteria as a Christmas gift to the teachers. In February a Founders Day tea took the place of the regular meeting with Mrs. E. A. Reissaus and Mrs. Tom Harris as hostesses. This year the P. T. A. successfully sponsored a benefit show and minstrel as the money making projects. The proceeds were used to buy pins for the Audubon Society, to buy clothing and school supplies, to secure dental aid for students, to pay the expenses of two girls from the home economics class to Camp Gravois, and to give five dollars for the best attendance of parents at the P. T. A. meetings. This attendance award was won by the sophomore class. Six committees function to carry out effectively the work of the organi- zation. The committees and their chairmen are: Program, Mrs. R. B. Estes: Publicity, Mrs. E. L. Miller, Publications, Mrs. A. S. Reed, Hospitality, Mrs. T. G. Harris: Home Service, Mrs. E. M.

To receive an invitation to become a member of the National Honor Society is the greatest honor that a student can attain while in Central High School. Other honors are usually awarded because of some particular talent the student possesses in one specific field, but an invitation to this organization means that a student has successfully measured up to a four-fold standard. ln order to be chosen for membership in the National Honor Society the candidate must be a junior A or a senior, must excel in character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Can- didates are judged by the faculty on leadership and character and on a competitive basis in scholarship and service. The final election of a candidate to the society is placed in the hands of a faculty council composed of Mr. lenlcins, Miss Pott, Mr. Roth, Miss Williams, and Miss lones. During the past year a short business meeting followed by a social hour was held each month at the home of a member. An impressive induction ceremony was held in assembly during the first semester, and in April the initiation ceremony was presented for Kappa Delta Pi, a na- tional honor society of the Southeast Missouri Teachers College.

Row 2 --- Junior Broclcmire, Bob Brady, Mack Estes, Alfred Thiele, Lawrence Davis, Orren Hellwege. The Central High School Student Patrol has been organized for six semesters under the leadership of Mr. lenkins. This year the patrol was composed of thirteen members, Mack Estes serving as captain. On duty the boys wear Sam Browne belts and badges which are furnished by the local AAA. They are also equipped with white waterproof coats and caps for rainy days. The safety patrols were first organized about 1920 with only a limited membership. Today there are approximately 250,000 students who belong to these student patrols throughout the United States. ln the first few years following its organization the growth of the patrol was slow, but owing to the fact that deaths from automobile accidents have increased tremendously in the last ten years the extension of this group was necessitated. The function of the Student Patrol is to direct, instruct, and control the members of the stu- dent body in crossing the streets at or near the school. It is also their duty to signal the motorist who approaches the crossing after the student pedestrians have left the curb. Student Patrol members are appointed by the principal for one semester, the boys usually volunteering for such appointment. These boys deserve the respect and cooperation not only of all the student body but of adults as well, for their position is surely one of honor in the school and community, serving as they do in the promotion of safety. These boys are always on duty each school day regardless of the weather condition. At the end of each school year the members of the student patrol are given recognition by being entertained at a banquet given in their honor.

The purpose of the Tigerettes is to furnish pep for both football and basketball games, therefore, their meetings were largely spent in practicing yells and drilling for stunts. One of the outstanding stunts presented during the football season was that of the Seven Dwarfs . Pep assemblies were held before the important football games. One of these depicted a fantastic dream of Coach Muegge on the eve of such a game. At other assemblies yells were led by the cheer leaders who worked in connection with this organization. Cheer leaders this year were Mary Ellen Botter, Susan Moran, Virginia Templeton, Carrold Clubb, Iunior Brock- mire, and Tom Fitzpatrick. For the annual color day, held on the occasion of Central's meeting Iackson, Ecky dolls were made and sold by the Tigerettes along with Tiger head stickers for notebooks and cars. Plans were made to buy jackets for the group next fall, and designs were submitted to some of the leading sporting goods companies.

When the faculty was introduced, three new members, Miss Eckel- mann, Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Miller, were present. Whew! At this rate old man winter will never get here. .lust watch the thermometer rise! Why worry about the weather if school is dismissed because of the extreme heat? The sophomores strutted their dra- matic ability for Silver Spear try- outs this afternoon. The would-be actors and actresses among the juniors and seniors anx- iously awaited their turn to show the Red Dagger what they could do, Dr. Harold Chase gave us a very inspiring speech. Here's for more group singing in assembly. Three cheers for Es- tle. because we did enjoy singing A Tisket a Tasketf' Tryouts for yell leaders this after- noon. Who will be the lucky ones? Monday clubs hold their first meet- ing today. The Girardot staff has its first meeting, and it is announced that Tim O'Connell and Lucille Keller are co-editors. Those orange and black band sweaters seemed to have suddenly dropped from the heavens. Jack Smarr was chosen vice-presi- dent at the first meeting of the Student Council. TO OUR ADVERTISERS We, the 1939 Girardot Staii, wish to extend our thanks to the business men ot Cape Girardeau tor their patronage and for their confidence in our book as a medium for advertising their commodities to the present and future buyers in this community. What a splendid assembly! The Red Dagger had a very impressive way of announcing its members through the voice of the wishing well.
